The Gawler Province 3D Geological Model is the second product of PIRSA's early 3D modelling trials conducted using 3D GeoModeller software. The work began with identifying the statigraphic units that were to be modelled. Due to the regional scale of...

This report presents geochemical constraints on the evolution of the Minbrie Gneiss and Carpa Granite, two magmatic units occurring in the southern Gawler Craton. These two units were previously assigned to the Palaeoproterozoic Lincoln Complex,...

The Cultana basement 3D Geological Model covers a region which includes the Roopena, and western half of the Cultana, 1:100,000 mapsheet areas. The subsurface geology that has been modelled comprises a succession of deformed Palaeoproterozoic...

During the period 11 June 2018 to 6 August 2018, approximately 60% of the PORT AUGUSTA 1:250k map sheet area, that covers the far north-eastern portion of the Eyre Peninsula, was flown under contract to the SA Government and Geoscience Australia as...

This inaugural regolith map of the southern Gawler Ranges margin provides a valuable regional overview of the main regolith types and their associated landforms, plus a general outline of the major areas of bedrock or regolith-dominated terrain, as...

In this article we present new EPMA monazite geochronological data from the deformed and metamorphosed Sleaford Complex units at Fishery Bay in the southern Gawler Craton. The results show that these fabrics formed during the development of the...

Exploration for possible Mesoproterozoic iron oxide - associated gold and base metal deposits in an area located approximately 20 km north of Kimba has consisted of a review of past exploration results, the conduct of a Landsat multiband image...

Following a review of previous company exploration and image interpretation of SAEI and BMR aeromagnetic data, a 3166 line km airborne magnetic/radiometric survey, with follow-up ground magnetics and air core drilling (282 holes, 4559 m), was carried...

Diamonds and base and precious metal exploration undertaken north-east of Port Kenny on western Eyre Peninsula comprised loam sampling for kimberlite indicator minerals, RC drilling (7 vertical holes, total 470 m), plus bedrock petrological, heavy...

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...

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...

Geochemical and isotopic data from mantle-derived mafic rocks provide important constraints on our understanding of the composition and evolution of the lithosphere through time. Since the lithosphere is sensitive to tectonic processes such as...

The LINCOLN 1:250,000 scale regional geological map area covers southern Eyre Peninsula and includes numerous islands lying off its eastern, southern and western coasts. The region encompasses a complex geological history and contains a variety of...

The YARDEA 1:250,000 scale regional geological map area straddles the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges on northern Eyre Peninsula. The only major township within the area is Minnipa, with Kimba and Wudinna both located immediately south of the...

The KIMBA 1:250 000 geological map sheet (hereafter referred to as KIMBA) lies in central Eyre Peninsula, extending between latitudes 33° to 34° S and longitudes 135° to 136°30'E (Fig 1). The principal towns are Kimba and Cleve, with smaller towns at...
