XRF analyses of 25 selected samples of halite interbedded with Early Cambrian strata, which had been taken from stored Wilkinson 1 drill core and cuttings, returned a maximum value for contained bromine of 470 ppm Br. This result was not of enough...

In January, 1951, a special mining lease of approximately 5,000 acres in the hundred of Davenport was granted to J. Saeck. This lease was later converted into ten miscellaneous salt leases, having a total area of 5,826 acres. Adjoining these leases to...

Ocean Salt (Extended) Proprietary Limited who produce salt by solar evaporation of sea water at Price, are investigating the possibility of increasing their annual production by utilising additional land at Price and near Port Wakefield.

Four boreholes completed in Lake Eyre North and one in Lake Eyre South have provided further information on lake sediments and the stratigraphy of the Lake Eyre Basin. Modern lake sediments constitute a thickness of less than 15 feet in the deflated...

Attempts made in the past 12 months to produce salt on Miscellaneous (Salt) Leases No. 682 and 683, have failed. Banks have been breached by high tides, and no sea water has remained on clay pans to evaporate. It has been recommended to the holder of...

Since the days of early settlement in South Australia mineral production from Yorke Peninsula has made an important contribution to the wealth of the state. Firstly, with the discovery and mining of copper in the Moonta Wallaroo district early in...

The recovery of a saleable potassium product from potassium enriched salts obtained by evaporation of salt bitterns was investigated. Four methods of treatment, namely, flotation, leaching, ion exchange and hydrolysis of the magnesium salts were...

In response to a request from the Corporation of the town of Wallaroo an inspection was made of swamp areas adjacent to the town boundaries for the purpose of accessing the salt producing potential of these areas. The request for this inspection arose...

Imported potassium salts are obtained from materials which require only simple and cheap methods of treatment. Because of the complex nature of salt bitterns, more costly methods of extraction are required. It is unlikely that any of the methods of...

The use of ion retardation as a separation procedure for the recovery of potassium from salt bitterns was investigated. The separation of potassium salts was not sufficiently great to be of practical use. It is unlikely that any variation of the...

The distribution of potassium between Dowex 50 resin and aqueous solutions containing salts of potassium and either sodium or magnesium was determined. Equilibrium curves, which were drawn from the data, showed that potassium could possibly be...

Eight thin sections of drill core, four cut parallel to and four perpendicular to the core, were received from the Engineering Division of the Electricity Trust of South Australia, for petrographic examination. The core is from an existing well,...

Stratigraphic sections were measured through the Callanna Beds and lower Burra Group, by tape and air photo enlargement, at the following localities: (1) north-east of Kingston Dam, (2) south-east of Dome Hill and (3) west of Callanna Homestead. At...

Various petrophysical property measurements (total count radiometric, mag susceptibility and specific gravity) were made at 1-metre intervals on samples of stored drill core recovered from the hole depth range 210 m to 710 m (TD) in SADME Wilkinson 1...
