Sandstone as a building material was used extensively in Adelaide and regional South Australia from the founding of the colony until the end of World War II. However, since 1945 the industry has declined steadily, with closure of many quarries, until...

The revised digital geology map of the Cultana 1:100 000 map sheet and accompanying geological descriptions in this report are the first components of the 2nd edition PORT AUGUSTA 1:250 000 map sheet to be completed. The subject map sheet occupies the...

Iron-oxide copper-gold mineralisation of either Moonta-Wallaroo or Olympic Dam style was the target of exploration in an area extending southwards and eastwards from Port Augusta. A review of historic exploration data plus an evaluation of new and...

Mapping in the vicinity of the Warrakimbo mine and Rainy Day prospect, approximately 30 km west of Hawker, has indicated that altered dolomitic members of the Etina Formation are the most prospective hosts for specular haematite mineralisation, which...

Surface geological mapping and open hole rotary drilling of 21 stratigraphic holes totalling 8717 m were carried out within the relinquished ground portion, which from reviewing the results is regarded as having low potential for copper and other base...

Hallett Cove is one of South Australia’s foremost natural science treasures. Exposed examples for prime geological concepts of superposition of strata, depositional unconformities (representing time breaks), and folding and faulting of sedimentary...

Cultana is located on parts of the north-eastern Eyre Peninsula, northern Spencer Gulf and south-western Flinders Ranges, and is underlain by rocks of the Mesoarchaean-Mesoproterozoic Gawler Craton, the Neoproterozoic Adelaide Geosyncline, Torrens...

A manganese-rich Adelaidean stratigraphic unit outcropping along the western flank of the Mount Remarkable Range, which returned 1.8% Co, 1.5% Cu and 1.0% Zn in a grab sample from the Willowie Cobalt prospect, warrants further work because it is...

Exploration conducted by CSR Ltd for possible economic stratiform base metal deposits in the western part of EL 81 addressed several targets, including Cattle Grid type disconformity - related copper mineralisation, Sweet Nell / MG14 type...

1:25,000 scale geological mapping and scout stratigraphic drilling (9 vertical rotary holes for a total penetration of 758.5 m) have outlined the general distribution of Adelaidean rocks in the Lake Macfarlane and Island Lagoon areas. Perhaps the most...
