Location indicators for South Australian rock sample, petrology, biostratigraphy, geochronology and calcrete

Exploration for unconformity-related uranium deposits has been performed within the subject ELs by Pancontinental Mining on behalf of joint venture partners since 1979. The initial exploration concept was to look for economic deposits occurring at or...

This report provides a summary of high-precision chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (CA-IDTIMS) U-Pb geochronology performed on zircon grains from five samples of Hiltaba Suite granites collected at locations...

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...

A sequence of Cambrian rocks buried beneath thin Phanerozoic cover on the western edge of the Murray Basin was explored for possible skarn-related base metal mineralisation associated with concealed Ordovician granitic intrusions, for stratiform...

An application for financial assistance to resume mining at the Avondale mine, by sinking a vertical shaft to a depth of 220 feet on the East lode, was made on 28/6/1948 by Mr. A.R. Dodson on behalf of Dodson & Co. After making a geological...

The Earth surface satellite multispectral images presented herein have been scanned along multiple, overlapping, 185 km wide swathes crossing the State, which are subdivided into sixty-two 170 km long 'scenes' that contain ~10% (on average)...

The Mount Woods Domain (sometimes termed Mount Woods Inlier) is located ~850 km north of Adelaide along the Stuart Highway. The nearest major population centre is Coober Pedy, which lies ~70 km north-west of the northern domain boundary. Geologically,...

Investigations aimed at revising the stratigraphy of the Mount Woods Domain in the north-eastern Gawler Craton have identified numerous metasedimentary and intrusive units. The dominant metasedimentary package has been classified and named the Skylark...

Rock Sample locations in South Australia that indicate geochemistry sample analyses. The information is extracted from an Oracle database known as SA_GEODATA. Data on geochemistry, geological logs and administrative information for drillholes has...

A small area covering the Tooligie Range of east-central Eyre Peninsula, located approximately 100 km north of Port Lincoln, was taken under licence to allow the exploration of a residual gravity anomaly which borders Centrex Metals' adjoining EL 3317...

The Corunna Conglomerate is a sequence of unmetamorphosed fluvial to shallow marine sediments, comprising conglomerates, sandstones and siltstones, which were deposited in active fault grabens in the eastern Gawler Craton. It is found on the...

The Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) was a $3.5M cash and $4.11M in-kind collaborative drill program involving government, researchers, service providers and the minerals industry. The objective of the MSDP was to further the understanding of...

This geochronological study was undertaken within the scope of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP), a program that was aimed at improving the understanding of the geology and prospectivity of the southern Gawler Ranges margin area on northern...

The Coompana area is characterised by several thick basin cover sequences dominantly composed of limestone, and forms the topographically flat Nullarbor Plain. Consequently, this region was previously considered too challenging for mineral...

A 50-hole rotary drilling program (total 3898 m) conducted near Lake Tinko and Billeroo Creek, south-east of Lake Frome, has partly delineated a north-south trending basement trough which, as a controlling influence on subsurface drainage, represents...

The Depth to Crystalline Basement Data Package is a collection of GIS datasets (in ArcGIS and Mapinfo formats) that portray actual or inferred depth to crystalline basement in South Australia, which have been assembled on a province-by-province basis....

During two separate sorties conducted over the period 2 October to 22 March 2018, most of the LAKE EYRE 1:250k map sheet area was flown under contract to the SA Government and Geoscience Australia as part of the PACE Copper Gawler Craton Airborne...

The SHRIMP zircon dating study described herein was undertaken as part of the National Geoscience Agreement (NGA), as a collaborative research project between the Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) and Geoscience Australia (GA). Eight samples...
