Summary report on the mineralogy of the Mount Gunson copper mineral deposits, SA.
Two distinct types of sulphide deposits have been recognized. One is syngenetic with the host quartzite, and may thus also have formed elsewhere at various positions within it. The other type of occurrence was deposited below the water table from...-

Report on the induced polarisation and resistivity test survey in the Mount Gunson area and the Pernatty Lagoon area of South Australia.
Known mineralization in the 2 areas was indicated by the IP results, so undiscovered similar mineralization should be detectable by reconnaissance surveys. Low apparent resistivities seen over Pernatty Lagoon due to salt water saturation of bedrock...-
