11 samples of Late Proterozoic diamond drill core from Blinman 2 stratigraphic/exploration well, showing macroscopic sulphide mineralization, were studied to determine the sulphide mineralogy and its sulphur isotopic composition.

In early 1991, Blinman 2 wildcat drilled through 2031 metres of sediments of the late Adelaidean Umberatana Group on the flank of the Blinman Diapir. Three small methane shows occurred in fracture zones in the Tapley Hill Formation.Two potential...

A Frontier Exploration internal memorandum in which Professor Rudd expounds his interpretation of, and seeks discussion on, the apparently unique geological conditions which exist in the Central Flinders Zone and are related to the testing of the...

Three advanced methods of depth-to-magnetic basement analysis were applied to BMR/SADME aeromagnetic data for the PARACHILNA 1:250,000 sheet: spectral analysis of grids, automated Naudy depth estimation, and forward modelling on profiles of flight...

Possible intrusive Proterozoic salt bodies beneath the Blinman, Upalinna, Martins Well, Mt Hemming, Willippa and Bibliando Domes were investigated by field mapping, including the construction of measured outcrop stratigraphic sections, seismic...

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...

This review article briefly addresses the structural patterns and tectonic history of the Central Flinders Zone of the Adelaide Geosyncline, as largely determined by the nature of the Delamerian Orogeny across this region. Comparisons with the...

Since 1990 Frontier Exploration Ltd has explored in the Central Flinders Zone of the Adelaide Geosyncline in order to assess its hydrocarbon and mineral potential, and the relationship of diapirs to these resources. The basic concepts used have not...

This paper synthesizes the findings of Frontier's exploratory efforts over the past three years, and makes recommendations for an ongoing exploration programme following and consequent to the economically unsuccessful outcome of drilling Blinman nos 1...

PEL 41 was granted to a deliberately SA-based new venture exploration company consisting of Chairman and well-known Emeritus Professor of Geology Eric Rudd, four other founding honorary and unsalaried directors, and 100 or so individual speculative...
