TARGET: Possible heavy mineral sands emplaced within Tertiary sediments in the Wirulla, Poochera, Inkster and Streaky Bay areas. EXPLORATION: Reconnaissance 10-15 km spaced and infill 100 m spaced reverse circulation drilling to pre-Tertiary basement...

Marketable quality gypsum was the major commodity sought in Recent salt lakes and marginal dunes of a large swamp in the Kyancutta area. Reconnaissance mapping, plus hand or power auger drill sampling of the near-surface sediments, has identified...

AIM: The Colona Drilling Project aimed to test concealed basement in the vicinity of two ground magentic profiles that have been run across the most south-western, teardrop - shaped aeromagnetic anomaly of the Fowler Suture Zone. METHODS: 45 vertical...

TARGET: Possible diamonds in the Mount Wedge region. EXPLORATION: Heavy mineral sampling, an airborne magnetic-radiometric survey, remote sensing Landsat TM plus aeromagnetic and radiometric data interpretation, detailed ground follow-up of more than...

An evaluation of the commercial potential of known gypsum, salt and silica sand occurrences located within coastal dunes and palaeo-lakeshore terraces 15 km north-east of Venus Bay on Eyre Peninsula initially comprised aerial photographic...

After exploring for diamonds and kimberlite on their Flinders Island Project ground for the past 23 years, the present joint venture partners have now decided to relinquish the licence area that they held which covered the central portion of Flinders...

Of the well's total depth of 1495 metres, the top 433 metres are fossiliferous, for which this report outlines the stratigraphy as determined from selected drill cores and cuttings. The biostratigraphy of the sequence studied in Mallabie 1 proves the...

Sleaford 1 stratigraphic well was drilled to a total depth of 436 feet, penetrating a sequence of Quaternary and Tertiary sediments before bottoming in Precambrian gneissic granite. Pleistocene to Recent calcarenites were present down to 110 feet, and...

This document aims to establish an appropriate geological framework and resource potential baseline for DEM's knowledge about lime sand on Kangaroo Island (KI), by showing and discussing what new lime sand resource areas are available, based on the...

This study draws together diverse aspects of South Australia’s heavy minerals (HM) resources geoscience to provide an overall context for evaluating their occurrence, economic significance and origins. Two main objectives are addressed by the subject...

This work aims to thoroughly assist the student and collector in identifying the Quaternary molluscs preserved in SA rocks. Many of the molluscan fossils occurring in Late Pleistocene deposits are representatives of still living species, although...

A request to investigate an area of fresh groundwater in County Robinson was received from the Engineer-in-Chief, Engineering and Water Supply Department, in February 1967. An inspection was made in August 1967, and Progress Report No. 1 was issued....

The Streaky Bay and Nuyts 1:250 000 map areas are located on the western side of Eyre Peninsula. Precambrian greenschist and amphibolite facies metamorphics of the Gawler Platform are intruded by Lower Proterozoic or Carpentarian granites, gneisses...

The purpose of this report is to assess the potential groundwater resources of the area using existing data in the Mines Department records. A previous assessment (HICKS), using a different approach, produced a quantity for groundwater safe yield...

Investigations have been carried out in the first test area of the South East Water Resources Investigation. Drilling by Rotary and Cable Tool methods up to 555 feet deep has shown a near horizontal sequence of bedded limestones. The cable tool method...

This paper sets out the stratigraphy of late Cainozoic deposits in the southern part of South Australia. The study includes the Murray, St Vincent and Spencer Gulf, West Coast and Eucla Basins and the adjoining uplands. Work has been concentrated on...

Lake Macdonnell bore A.A.10W (total depth 150 feet) intersected a Quaternary sequence consisting of a thin salt crust and lime sand (Recent, marine), Yamba Formation (Recent to Pleistocene, gypsiferous, lagoonal), Bridge-water Formation, upper member...
