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...

Mapping and sampling of 39 adits at Mongolata Goldfield has ensured that a permanent record of the 1930s mines is available for historical and exploration purposes. Many of the workings are no longer accessible. Details of the production history of...

Mintabie Opalfield, one of the most important production centres in Australia, was discovered in the early 1920s but mining only began in earnest in 1976. Precious opal is confined to Mintabie beds, a kaolinitic sandstone of presumed Ordovician Age,...

The Geological Survey of South Australia has partnered with MinEx CRC to undertake a National Drilling Initiative project in the northern Gawler Craton. This project includes a geoscientific drilling program and allied research to understand the...

Historically, geochemical data collected from drillholes by explorers in South Australia comprised only drill core assays of the targeted commodity or commodities, thus the potential for other critical minerals in existing deposits remains unknown....

This publication has been compiled from a display prepared for the launch of SADME Bulletin 53, held at the Australian Mineral Foundation on 7 December 1987. The importance and diversity of commodities found in the Geosyncline are highlighted in the...
