Includes abstracts with the following titles: 1) How magnetotellurics (MT) works, and an overview of new central Australian MT results (Kate Selway) 2) Latest MT traverse results: western Gawler Craton (Stephan Thiel) 3) A constrained 3D...

The CHILDARA 1:250 000 map area is located on the western Gawler Craton, an ancient crystalline shield comprising Archaean, Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic metasediments, volcanics and granites that has been tectonically stable since 1450 Ma...

Fifty-eight shallow aircore holes totalling 2140.5 m were drilled by PIRSA's Mineral Resources Group in the Ceduna area during November 1999 to as part of a programme designed to assist regional mapping and geological interpretation of the CHILDARA...

This report contains the excursion guide for the field trip which was held as part of the Chief Government Geologists' Meeting convened in South Australia on 23rd and 24th March 2015. The focus of the field trip was to see rocks of the Gawler Range...

This report details newly acquired Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb isotopic data for three samples from two drill holes in the Fowler Domain of the western Gawler Craton. During the late 1980s,stratigraphic drilling done by the...

Zircon crystals found in eleven samples of granitic to gneissic rocks collected from the FOWLER 1:250 000 mapsheet area have been analysed via uranium-lead radiometric dating methods, using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry...

The subject field excursion performed in August-September 2000 in part mimicked that held by the GSSA during September 1997, but included 6 additional stops programmed for Day 1 (31st August 2000) to examine Archaean geology at the southern tip of...

Shallow basement along basin margins, and intersections of structural lineaments with Hiltaba Suite granitoids, were targeted over three separate areas: 40 km north-east of Elliston, and 10 and 30 km respectively south and east of Lock. No significant...

An aeromagnetic survey was followed by soil and calcrete sampling in the Poochera - Wirulla area, over possible southerly extensions to the Yarlbrinda Shear Zone. Only slightly elevated Au and Cu values were returned, and follow-up sampling in one...

Exploration for Olympic Dam style copper-gold mineralisation in the Toondulya Bluff area, 100 km north-east of Streaky Bay, comprised compilation and interpretation of existing calcrete data, assaying of samples from earlier aircore drilling, and...

The understanding of the tectonic evolution of the western Gawler Craton has been greatly enhanced by recent drilling in an area of poor basement exposure. Fifty-eight air-core holes (totalling 2140.5 m) were completed near Ceduna on the CHILDARA...

This report presents the results of a study jointly conducted by the Geological Survey of South Australia and CSIRO Mineral Resources which aimed to enhance the expression of geological structure in geophysical images and to derive depth to magnetic...

This data package comprises all of the GIS-related technical elements of a preliminary basement solid geology interpretation, which has been undertaken by DSD for the purpose of updating a fundamental mineral exploration-guiding dataset applicable to...

The Gawler Province 3D Geological Model is the second product of PIRSA's early 3D modelling trials conducted using 3D GeoModeller software. The work began with identifying the statigraphic units that were to be modelled. Due to the regional scale of...

During fine weather intervals within the period 21 June to 30 September 2018, the southern half of the CHILDARA 1:250k map sheet area and the onshore two-thirds of the STREAKY BAY 1:250k map sheet area were flown under contract to the SA Government...

This report presents the results of a study jointly conducted by the Geological Survey of South Australia and CSIRO Mineral Resources which aimed to enhance the expression of geological structure in geophysical images and to derive depth to magnetic...

Geochemical and isotopic data from mantle-derived mafic rocks provide important constraints on our understanding of the composition and evolution of the lithosphere through time. Since the lithosphere is sensitive to tectonic processes such as...

This compilation of written and associated oral papers that were presented for the “What lies beneath the western Gawler Craton? 13GA-EG1E Seismic and Magnetotelluric Workshop 2015” is an important step in building our geological understanding of one...

A suite of intrusives (St Peter Suite - new name) along western Eyre Peninsula displays a wide range in composition, texture and relationships. The features are typical for mingling and mixing of felsic and mafic magmas, with U-Pb geochronology...
