Wilkinson 1 stratigraphic well was drilled by the SA Department of Mines and Energy in mid-1978, about 250 km south-west of Coober Pedy, in the Tallaringa Trough. Here a thick section of Cambrian claystones, limestones and evaporites, at least 594 m...

A regional groundwater model has been constructed of the Loxton Sands watertable aquifer in the eastern Riverland, over an area extending eastwards from Overland Corner to the State border. It is being used to quantify the salt load impacts on the...

Dryland salinisation is degrading land and water resources of Lower Eyre Peninsula. It decreases land production capabilities, water quality, and the general aesthetics of the environment. Interdepartmental investigations into the occurrence and...

This data package discusses mining and processing operations of the major non metallic and industrial mineral commodities in South Australia and is of interest to those in the industry and to manufacturers and suppliers of a range of machinery and...

The Murray-Darling Basin Commission (MDBC) has a commitment in the national interest to managing the health of the River Murray and floodplain environment by mitigating both decreases in river water quality and associated environmental degradation...

No text - one plan only, depicting the location and engineering surveyor's details for a planned earth fill embankment, to be constructed within SML 449 on the seaward side of the proposed primary evaporation pond for a 360,000 tons per annum saltworks.

Activity on these deposits has consisted of one phase of trial mining of 600 cubic m of the best quality part of the Warnes deposit, stockpiling of the extracted gypsum-rich lakebed sediments, chemical analysis of 39 bulked samples of this stockpile...

Evaluation of the feasibility of re-establishing salt production facilities at the abandoned solar salt works on the tidal flats at Point Paterson, 15 km south-east of Port Augusta, has been undertaken by the current local SA major salt producer...

The applicant proposes during the two year SML period to undertake a work and study programme to determine the economic feasibility of developing a seawater salt recovery complex on the areas applied for, which will be capable upon completion of the...

Kaolin, derived mainly from deep weathering of Hiltaba Suite granites, was the principal target of exploration in the area south and south-west from Poochera, near Streaky Bay on western Eyre Peninsula. Following a review made of historic drillhole...

Possible potash and halite resources in evaporite - rich sediment sequences of the Tallaringa Trough, lying at depths that might be suitable for solution mining, were the initial targets of exploration in the Wilkinson Lakes area. Following a...

The Officer Basin covers about 300,000 square km and is largely concealed beneath sediments of the Gibson and Great Victoria deserts in western and southern Australia. Approximately two-thirds of the Officer Basin lies in Western Australia....

Continuing exploration by Delhi of the industrial salt potential of subsurface brines in the Lake Torrens basin aimed to ascertain the potential reserves of NaCl in the southern part of the lake, and to confirm the availability of suitable brine...

SALT MINING STUDY: Field tests on the feasibility of Lake Torrens salt production to supply raw material for the planned Redcliff Petrochemical Project were continued, with project planning technical data demonstrations given to visiting officials of...
