Results of a recent groundwater salinity sampling program of the Robinson Lens have revealed that the current procedure of using a bailer to obtain salinity samples yields inaccurate results, and that the salinity in this aquifer may be much higher...

The Onkaparinga Catchment Water Management Board (OCWMB) is responsible for an area of approx. 920 square km which includes the Onkaparinga Catchment in the Adelaide Hills and the Noarlunga and Willunga sedimentary embayments south of Adelaide, South...

The Department for Water Resources drilled three wells at Kangaroo Flat in October and November 2000 as part of a hydrogeological investigation of the area. The wells were drilled as observation wells, and water levels will subsequently be monitored...

North Ltd's Barton Project commenced in 1990 across a number of licences progressively taken out over the western Gawler Craton, which eventually came to include EL 1865. Initial exploration for heavy mineral sand in the Barton-Ooldea area, 100-200...

Diamond exploration undertaken north-west of Moolawatana included the acquisition of airborne magnetic / radiometric and ground magnetic surveys, plus soil, stream sediment, gravel, loam and rock chip sampling, and aircore/diamond drilling (25 holes,...

The standing of crude oil on the beaches of southern Australia was first recorded approximately 150 years ago. This material, known locally as coastal bitumen, was used by the early maritime visitors and settlers to caulk their vessels and is the...

Report presents results of the first regional hydrogeological survey of the Lower South-East area of South Australia, aimed at providing guidelines for optimising groundwater prospecting, use and protection during the period of strong urban,...

Several anomalous radioactive areas were located and uranium mineralisation shown to be in association with five of them. These areas require further investigation by geological mapping to determine whether or not there are possibilities of economic...

Very tight folding and remobilization of the Sturtian Holowilena Ironstone has produced a massive ironstone blow and small lenses of micaceous haematite. The haematitic quartz rock is not suitable for pigments, and lenses of haematite of pigment...

Two deposits comprising gently dipping dolomitic sediments of the Skillogalee Dolomite were located during reconnaissance for construction materials for the Crystal Brook bypass. The southern deposit, 4 km northeast of Crystal Brook, was subsequently...
