Reconnaissance and detailed bulk loam sampling undertaken to look for diamonds or kimberlite indicator minerals in the vicinity of the Pualco Anticline, plus spectrographic analyses of the derived heavy mineral concentrates for gold and base metals...

Exploration for Broken Hill or Aggeneys type Proterozoic stratiform base metal massive sulphides within the Hutchison Group in the Mount Shannan area, north of Cleve, has included the acquisition, processing and interpretation of airborne magnetic,...

The ore consists of clay, limonite pyrolusite and psilomelane, thoroughly mixed and carried quartz, barytes and gypsum crystallised in cavities. The average grade is 24 per cent manganese. 2. Beneficiation by gravity methods, by flotation or magnetic...

The Copper King orebody, located approximately 10 miles north-northeast of Beltana township, is a massive deposit of iron carbonate, the upper portion of which has been altered by oxidation and hydration to oxides of iron. The deposit was worked...

A request was received from J.H. Perkinson of Adelaide on behalf of a prospector, A.D. Morrison of Burra for an inspection of this prospect, as samples taken by the prospectors had been assayed by possible buyers, with favourable results. A...

The accompanying resume of current knowledge of ironstone deposits in the Central Province has been prepared for general distribution. It is based on recent field work, and supersedes that previously recorded by the writer in Summary Report, RB...

A survey of the literature covering methods of beneficiation for low grade manganese minerals has been made to determine world trends. As well as being a review of beneficiation methods this report contains a summary of world production arid...

This mine, situated 10 miles east of Blinman, was previously the subject of a detailed report by S.B Dickinson (Mining Review 76, Pages 72-79), a copy of which is included in this report. This reader is referred to this earlier report for information...

Small rich lenses of manganiferous minerals occur in Cambrian sediments near the northern boundary of Mineral Claim 1621. Reserves in the lenses are limited to a few tons. Because of lack of reserves, the isolated position of the claim, the rugged...

The claim situated approximately 9 miles east of Blinman adjoins claim 1856, the Erungunda Manganese Mine, and lies to the east of the latter. A theodolite survey of this area was carried out on August 11th, the survey being restricted to the main...

This report refers to a manganese claim which is one of two referred to in a letter from V. Lyford dated 25th July (D.M 1278/61) requesting a geological survey. An earlier report (53/66) deals with a survey of the other claim. The claim was examined...

Small deposits of manganite and pyrolusite occur within oolitic Etina limestone (Marinoan) on opposite limbs of a syncline south of Artipena Hill. The ore was probably found under oxidising conditions by secondary concentration of colloidal solution...

A comparison of known iron deposits in Western Australia and South Australia suggests that large, high grade iron orebodies occur in flatly dipping favourable horizons which have a leached and oxidised appearance: siliceous, steeply dipping iron...

Irregular oxidised orebodies up to about 3 feet thick, containing copper carbonates, quartz, sphaerocobaltite (cobalt carbonate) and wad (hydrated manganese oxide), occupy both shear zones aligned parallel with bedding, and crush zones developed...

A zone of limonite and heamatite outcrops 4 miles long has been located on the lower southwestern slopes of the Northern Middleback Ranges. Detailed mapping, drilling and Costeaning have been commenced by the Department to evaluate the area. The area...

Small amounts of copper carbonate, which were mined on a small scale in 1890, occur in Adelaide System slates, 25 miles north south east of Radium Hill and 4 miles south south west of Mutooroo Homestead. No payable concentrations of copper were found...
