A multi-commodity mineral exploration programme carried out over an area between Mannum and Strathalbyn, seeking buried targets concealed in Tertiary sediments and basement rocks, comprised aerial magnetic, radiometric and EM surveys; groundwater,...

In early 1991, Blinman 2 wildcat drilled through 2031 metres of sediments of the late Adelaidean Umberatana Group on the flank of the Blinman Diapir. Three small methane shows occurred in fracture zones in the Tapley Hill Formation.Two potential...

This project proposal relates to the potential for mining a vast gypsum deposit located adjacent to Sceale Bay, about 14 km south of Streaky Bay on the west coast of South Australia. Preliminary estimates put the ore reserves of gypsum of 88% purity...

A reconnaissance photogeological investigation of the eastern margins of the Eucla Basin has been carried out using small-scale (RC9 and RC10) aerial photographs, with results being compiled onto 1:100,000 scale base plans. The study has confirmed...

In the stratigraphic sequence penetrated by Canopus Bore No. 1, five formations are present. From the surface to a depth of 185 feet, the boring passed through Recent surface sand and kunkar followed by medium to coarse sands of Plio-Pleistocene age....

A study of the drill cuttings samples obtained down to 641 ft depth from this vertical cable-tool drilled hole indicates an organic origin for a large part of the sediments, and a marine environment of deposition.

At the request of the Senior Geologist (Hydrology) rotary drill core from Bore No. 1 and sludges from Bores 2 and 3 were examined for microfaunas with a view to establishing the age of the sediments, to determining the sedimentary environment, and to...

A strong discolouration of the sea near Ceduna was reported by the Minister of Agriculture who requested an investigation. The discolouration is causing concern to the local professional fishermen and has been inspected or reported on by the Harbours...

Following investigations along this section of the Eyre Highway during June I960, four sites were selected for initial drilling. It was considered that additional sites would possibly be necessary, depending on results obtained. Drilling commenced at...

Test boring of the proposed Upper Port Reach Tidal Basin has been completed, with 33 bores totalling 518 feet. Sediments comprise mottled brown clays, sandy clays, sands, silts and shell beds with occasional travertine limestone. The proportion of...

Particle size analyses of typical clays, silty and sandy clays, sands and silts have been used to make an estimate of the probable size characteristics of the average remoulded material to be expected from dredging, and reclamation of adjoining swamp...

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

Comparative and qualitative palynology of several distinct Upper Eocene lithological units in the vicinity of Adelaide indicates a similar age for the sediments. A complex facies relationship between these units is apparent in marginal areas....
