Widespread copper carbonate and weathered, disseminated sulphide mineralisation occurring within large diapiric breccias at Oraparinna and Wirrealpa, that are located respectively ~ 35 km north-northeast of Hawker and 20 km east of Blinman, was found...

In a search for base metals within an area located east of Peterborough, detailed stream sediment sampling (2722 samples) and statistical analysis of the results defined several discrete anomalies of interest that warrant geological inspection and...

The MAITLAND Special 1:250,000 scale geological map covers the greater part of South Australia's Yorke Peninsula. The rocks in the map area comprise deformed Palaeoproterozoic and early Mesoproterozoic basement of the south-eastern Gawler Craton, and...

A new generation, second edition MARREE 1:250 000 scale geological map and its explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's latest geological mapping program (1993 to...

It has lately been shown that the gold grades previously determined from a standard laboratory analysis of grab, rock chip and channel samples collected from Mount Grainger Goldfield may be unreliable, due both to the ore mineralogy and to the patchy...

The northern to central Flinders Ranges area comprise uplifted and eroded remnants of openly folded sedimentary rocks that were deposited in an intra-continental arm of the Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian Adelaide Geosyncline. Deposition was...

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...

Sedimentary-hosted copper deposits are the second most important source of copper in the world, as well as being the most important source of cobalt, and fourth among all classes of ore deposits in production of silver. The Neoproterozoic sedimentary...

The northern to central Flinders Ranges area comprise uplifted and eroded remnants of openly folded sedimentary rocks that were deposited in an intra-continental arm of the Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian Adelaide Geosyncline. Deposition was...

Historically, geochemical data collected from drillholes by explorers in South Australia comprised only drill core assays of the targeted commodity or commodities, thus the potential for other critical minerals in existing deposits remains unknown....

Mapping and sampling of 39 adits at Mongolata Goldfield has ensured that a permanent record of the 1930s mines is available for historical and exploration purposes. Many of the workings are no longer accessible. Details of the production history of...

As part of ongoing base metal exploration of the area surrounding Bute, initial work done after the expiry of EL 248 comprised the completion of one diamond drillhole to TD 411.2 m within Carpentarian basement, targeting a magnetic anomaly thought to...

In situ analysis of pyrite in sedimentary rocks can provide an effective exploration method for sedimentary copper mineralisation. This report presents results of regional analysis in the Stuart Shelf which builds on previous pyrite sampling in the...

The journey from Arkaroola Village to the Paralana Hot Springs presents the opportunity to view some amazing landscapes and associated geological aspects that the Arkaroola Pastoral Station has to offer, and the opportunity is open to the general...
