Seven serpentinite bodies were located on Kenmore in the 1970 field season and a ground magnetic survey was carried out over the area that contained most of them. Induced polarization surveys were carried out over the South Bank and Eremophila...

Soils largely of transported origin, have been sampled over two parts of the Mount John-Paralana Fault Zone in the Balcanoona area. In the northern area (south of Italowie Gorge) anomalous copper and zinc delineated a postulated NE-trending tongue of...

Ground magnetic survey over basic outcrop revealed magnetic anomalies associated with basic material containing up to 1% Ni. The probability of sulphide minerals is not high.

A total of 380 stream sediment samples and 40 heavy mineral samples were collected from Giles Complex norites in the Musgrave Ranges and the -80 mesh fraction tested for copper, lead, zinc, cobalt, nickel, chromium, vanadium, manganese, titanium,...

The South Australian Department of Mines has for several years undertaken geochemical surveys in different parts of the State. Arid areas present particular problems for this kind of prospecting. Consequently, Amdel proposed undertaking a literature...

A band of basic granulite occupying the nose of a syncline in a folded sequence of predominantly acid gneisses was examined by detailed mapping, geochemical sampling, induced polarization and both rotary-percussion and diamond drilling. Primary...

After the discovery of serpentinite underlying jasper cappings near Kenmore in 1967, a regional mapping and prospecting program was initiated which located eleven additional areas of jasper capping. Three of these were drilled, but serpentinite was...

Three bodies of basic rock believed to be equivalent to the Giles Complex were located near the southern margin of the Marryat Shear. I.P., V.L.F.E.M AND T.M.I were used to site a diamond drill hole, targeted at nickel mineralization. Only minor...

The previously written Amdel Report no. 826 contained the results of a literature survey undertaken on behalf of the South Australian Department of Mines on geochemical techniques for prospecting for copper, lead, zinc and nickel in arid regions. The...

This report outlines the history and concept of the Torrens Hinge Zone project. An account is given of the regional geology, geophysics, geochronology and stratigraphic drilling in the Bute region and adjoining areas of northern Yorke Peninsula. An...

Acid gneiss underlying soil displaying anomalous copper values was investigated by geological mapping, geochemistry, geophysics, rotary and diamond drilling. Subeconomic sulphide mineralization, thought to have originated as a stratabound deposit, was...

This report has been written to assist the Geochemical Section which is about to commence on exploration programme in Mt Davies and adjoining areas. The report lists the available information related to geochemical exploration which has not yet been...

Analyses of soil and stream samples from the arid Lyndhurst region of the Northern Flinders demonstrate a bimodal distribution of metals which is related to the mineralogy of the sized-fractions. Geochemical dispersion is dominantly mechanical. For...

An occurrence of nickeliferous ochre had previously been located at Claude Hills, in the Mount Davies area, by a subsidiary of International Nickel Company in 1956. Since then, exploration of the area has been undertaken in several phases, culminating...

An extensive detailed and regional exploration programme was carried out in the North-west Province in 1965. Geological mapping, geophysical (gravity and aeromagnetic) traversing, and test drilling were undertaken to test known occurrences and...
