One diamond and seven rotary/percussion drillholes tested Cambrian rocks for base metals. Six water bores were logged geophysically. IP/resistivity and gravity surveys were undertaken.

Minlaton South 1 was a shallow stratigraphic test well drilled by Beach Petroleum to investigate a possible ?Archaean basement high subcropping 3.75 miles south of Minlaton township, as suggested by SADM regional mapping observations made during 1961....

In a search for possible economic Mississippi Valley - type base metal mineralisation within an area located 30 km north-east of Maitland, 941 auger holes for 6839.2 m total penetration were drilled at 100 to 200 m spacings along roadsides to test the...

Yorke Peninsula lies between Spencer Gulf and Gulf St. Vincent. As its discoverer Matthew Flinders-wrote: "it is singular in its form, bearing some resemblance to a very ill-shaped leg and foot". This Bulletin deals with an area having an arbitrary...

As part of an ongoing search for MVT style base metal mineralisation within Lower Cambrian strata of the southern part of the Torrens Hinge Zone on Yorke Peninsula, in September 1975 112 RC holes for 1730 m were drilled at 500 m spacings along...

In continuing regional exploration conducted over north-eastern Yorke Peninsula, further reconnaissance stratigraphic drilling and wireline geophysical logging (in 3 vertical rotary percussion holes totalling 373 m) was carried out in May 1976 to test...

Minlaton Bore intersected 596 feet of Lower Permian (?lowermost Sakmarian) glacigenes and then a lower Middle to Lower Cambrian succession 2459 feet thick consisting in downward sequence of Ramsey Limestone (105 feet), red bed clastics (456 feet),...

Examination of drill cores from the Cambrian section of Stansbury West 1 indicates that the well intersected red bed clastics over the depth interval 1115-1950 feet KB, Parara Limestone from 1950 to 3315 feet, Kulpara Limestone 3315-5387, transitional...

In a search for metallurgical dolomite with a specified grade of 45% CaCO3, and 45% MgCO3, an angled diamond drill hole was sunk in examination. The hole was continued into the underlying Cambrian and Proterozoic sediments to test for base metal...

Ballast sources on southern Yorke Peninsula are listed and discussed with reference to quality and availability. Further work required to define reserves at each site is indicated. Cambrian limestones are available near Ardrossan and Curramulka but...

Cambrian, Kulpara Limestone Formation (?) dolomite, overlain by kunkar limestone and red sandy clay has been diamond drilled and mapped by stadia survey. Results of laboratory testing and petrographic analysis are included. Reserves are estimated at...

A site in Barunga Sandstone (Tent Hill Formation equivalent) located 2.5 miles south east of Nantawarra Siding has been selected for testing. Previous quarrying operations from this unit in the area have disclosed the presence at many sites of clay in...

The Gulf St. Vincent region of South Australia extends from Yorke Peninsula and part of Investigator Strait to the Mount Lofty - Kangaroo Island fold belt. This area includes the sediments of the Cainozoic St. Vincent Basin, the Permian Troubridge...

A small area located about 20 km north-west of Port Wakefield was taken under licence by ETSA to try to secure limestone/dolomite material of suitable quality and in sufficient quantity to provide chemical additives for aiding the process of...

Minimal field work only was undertaken, in the form of geological mapping of the Kulpara - South Hummocks Range area, plus petrological examination of selected rock chip samples. Envelope also contains a [formerly held confidential] FEAC submission -...

Drillhole TER 1, funded by the TEISA program, was drilled to test basement depth and stratigraphy to the west of Minlaton, Yorke Peninsula. This drilling project followed TEISA aeromagnetic and geological surveys of the Peninsula in 1999, which had...

This tour is concerned with aspects of the soils, geology, landforms, clays and mining on Yorke Peninsula, and likewise for the northern Adelaide Plains which are separated from the Peninsula by Gulf St Vincent. Both of these regions are among the...
