K Dodd made a feasibility study of salt production at the Lake Torrens - Port Augusta site. Reconnaissance mapping and brine sampling were carried out at various sites including Yorkey Crossing, Playa 8-9 and Lake Torrens. Laboratory tests indicated...

SALT PROJECT. Market research was carried out on utilizing salt from Lake Torrens and Point Paterson for the production of soda ash or caustic soda in SA, or for salt export. The Dow Chemical Co. has confirmed its continuing interest in Lake Torrens...

Reports provide a history of the assistance given by the licensee and State Government officials to Dow Chemical Co. to enable their re-assessment of the viability of the proposed Redcliff Petrochemical Plant and associated raw material sources.

TARGET: Definition of economic brown coal mineralisation in the northern Saint Vincent Basin. EXPLORATION: Open-hole rotary drilling of 127 holes totalling 11,103 m, including a reported minimum of 468 m of HQ rotary coring in 24 of the holes. The...

Marketable quality gypsum was the major commodity sought in Recent salt lakes and marginal dunes of a large swamp in the Kyancutta area. Reconnaissance mapping, plus hand or power auger drill sampling of the near-surface sediments, has identified...

TARGET: Potentially commercial gypsum, salt or silica occurrences in Holocene paralic lakes and marginal dunes, in an area immediately north-east of Coffin Bay. EXPLORATION: Bulk sampling of lacustrine evaporitic sediments and related aeolian deposits...

Yellow and green efflorescent salts were identified by chemical tests as sodium chloride, plus minor potassium chloride and sulphates of sodium and potassium, coloured by traces of copper and iron.

The intersection of massive halite in the ?Lower Palaeozoic sequence in Occidental Petroleum's Mercury 1 wildcat oil exploration well drilled in the offshore Polda Basin generated interest in the Tuckey area onshore for potash associated with similar...

Field tests continued as part of the salt project, to confirm salt crystallization and purification data. Results indicate that brine production rates and quality and quantity of salt output are comparable with the results from previous tests....

A synopsis of the possible pre-tectonic structural setting and sequence of geological events which has resulted in the observed development of faulted domes and diapirs within Neoproterozoic sediments of the central Flinders Ranges, and the related...

Regional geological mapping of the area was initiated in 1959 and was completed in 1964. All tracks in the area were traversed and detailed mapping confined to critical localities and to areas where this was considered desirable. Geological boundaries...

32 rock samples, of unknown age, taken from the carbonate sequence intersected above the salt diapir section in SADME Wilkinson 1 stratigraphic drillhole, were examined petrographically to determine their possible depositional environment. Another 21...

In an earlier report Wilmshurst (1963) proposed a novel method for extracting bromine from the residual liquor (bittern) resulting from the production of sodium chloride by solar evaporation of sea water. The bromine was to be released by chlorine,...
