The abandoned Brukunga pyrite mine is a source of acid drainage which pollutes nearby creeks. 6 holes (6627-WW 7454 to 7459) totalling 123 metres were drilled in the quarry benches to investigate acid drainage which is produced in 2 ways : 1....

A trial revegetation of the mullock heaps was carried out. A significant reduction in the level of pollution in the Dawsley Creek has been achieved by the partial diversion scheme with acidity levels of the order of one-third of those values prior to...

In this period a revegetation trial was undertaken on the tailings dams, the availability of clay in the area suitable for sealing the main benches assessed and a chemical survey of Dawsley Creek in the mine area was made to assess the effects of a...

In 1973 Amdel was requested by the Department of Mines and Energy to investigate the problem of water pollution in Dawesley Creek, apparently arising from the abandoned pyrites mine at Brukunga. Following the investigation of sources of pollution, a...

In August 1966, a request for assistance with conducting pyritic sulphur exploration in the vicinity of Brukunga was received by the SA Department of Mines from Nairne Pyrites Pty Ltd. Brukunga is 29 miles east of Adelaide by road and 3.5 miles north...

This investigation of the Brukunga mine site was prompted by the observed release of acid waters with high iron and other heavy metal concentrations into Dawesley Creek, the consequences of which could include possible pollution of Lake Alexandrina...

The Brukunga mine site is a former open pit iron sulfide mine that continues to contribute to Acid and Metalliferous Drainage (AMD) into downstream waterways. Mine-based sources of AMD include the waste rock dumps and tailings storage facility. In...

The remediation of Days Creek represents the first stage of the progressive remediation of the Brukunga mine site. Objectives for the remediation of Days Creek domain were developed by the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) in association with DSD...

BHP have provided SADME with unpublished data on the inoperative Brukunga pyrite mine. This report is an inventory of these data, providing access to the mine development plans and analytical data on two diamond drill holes.
