The WINTINNA 1:250 000 mapsheet area lies between latitudes 27° to 28° South and longitudes 133°30’ to 135°00’ East. This ~16 400 square km area includes the Marla and Cadney Park settlements, and is crossed by the Stuart Highway and Adelaide to...

Location of all current Regulated Substance Retention Licences issued under the Energy Resources Act 2000 (formerly the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Act 2000) for the regulated resource or commodity of regulated substances as defined in the Act....

Contains the results of a SCAL study of 16 selected drill core plug samples taken from within the Strzelecki and Dullingari Field Jurassic oil reservoirs, to determine formation resistivity factor plus cation exchange capacity at ambient pressure...

Twenty diamond drill holes amountiing to a total footage of 3,780 feet have now been completed at the Victoria Hut Prospect. These have shown that the lodes extend to a depth of at least 270 feet down dip, but with a gradual decline in the width and...

Public Calls are areas of land offered to explorers with the view to attracting exploration programs under formal licences for the exploration of regulated substances. These call areas are frequently accompanied by substantial data packages....

This geotechnical workshop of seminars and core displays, which was held over two days on 5-6 December 2002, aimed to highlight recent collaborative research between PIRSA [MER], Geoscience Australia and the South Australian mineral industry that has...

A regional geological interpretation of newly-acquired magnetic data for the majority of the Musgrave Block (central Australia) has been compiled at 1:250 000 scale. This report outlines the methodology and results of interpretation. Highlights of...

This excursion was designed with the intent of introducing its participants to the geology, mineralisation and alteration styles present in the Moonta - Wallaroo region, through guided drill core inspection, a trip to the Wheal Hughes open pit mine,...

The great majority of lower Palaeozoic rocks in the Stansbury, Arrowie and Warburton Basins are of Cambrian age, although a few Early Ordovician fossils have been reported from drillholes in the sub-surface Warburton Basin. The Cambrian is the only...

This report presents a detailed statistical record of the State's output and sales values for petroleum, minerals and materials during the six monthly period ended 30 June 2002. The first part of the report details the production sales figures for...

The Mingary 1:100 000 map area in the north-east of the state covers part of the Curnamona Province. Five suites of basic intrusives have been identified in the area. The most widespread is a series of amphibole-bearing sills which, having an...

Geochronology enables us to determine the age of rocks and minerals. The variety of isotopic geochronological techniques give complementary information on, for example, the timing of igneous or metamorphic crystallisation, as is often the case for the...

Thick sediment cover in the Proterozoic Curnamona Province impedes effective mineral exploration in some of the most prospective areas located away from bedrock outcrop. The objectives of the CurnaMinEx project are to test the effectiveness of surface...

Over the period from 1955 until 1976 an outcrop of Ordovician porphyritic rhyolite was quarried for road-sealing aggregate and rail ballast from two quarries at Mount Monster, 12 km south of Keith. The total recorded production was 548,000 tonnes....

The Mount Woods Domain (sometimes termed Mount Woods Inlier) is located ~850 km north of Adelaide along the Stuart Highway. The nearest major population centre is Coober Pedy, which lies ~70 km north-west of the northern domain boundary. Geologically,...

Seven samples of Proterozoic basement rocks, representing syn and post-tectonic leucocratic melts that formed during the Kimban Orogeny within the Donington Suite and within cross-cutting Tournefort Metadolerite mafic dykes on the southernmost Eyre...

The middle Palaeoproterozoic rocks (2000-1800 Ma) on southern Yorke Peninsula are part of the Cleve Subdomain in the eastern Gawler Craton, which is separated from the younger Moonta Subdomain by the Warooka Fault Zone. The rocks contain a group of...

The deformed metasediments of the South Australian Willyama Inliers (in the southern Curnamona geological province) preserve petrologic evidence of a complex and protracted metamorphic history. To assist with unravelling this history, there currently...

Komatiitic greenstones were first recognised in South Australia from drillcore at Lake Harris on the Gawler Craton by Mines and Energy SA personnel in 1991. Subsequent petrography and detailed aeromagnetic data interpretation led to targeted drilling...

This report is the first section of the summary report on the project "Mesoproterozoic Granites in South Australia" undertaken by Drs Kathy Stewart and John Foden at the Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Adelaide. Subsequent sections...
