Report lists a number of potential broad scale geological sources and related saline repositories of potassium compounds, including potash, that may exist in South Australia. Most of these have yet to be analysed thoroughly for this commodity.

Given the imperative of Australia's wartime strategic needs, the subject report describes a rapid attempt that was made by the SA Department of Mines to assess the remaining copper resource potential of the historic, now abandoned Burra district...

Since June 1945, an extensive programme of diamond drilling has been carried out on the recently acquired property of I.C.I. Alkali (Australia) Pty Ltd at Penrice, with the object of investigating the reserves of high grade marble available for open...

This project is part of the broader "South Australian Regolith Project" of CRC LEME, the principal aim of which is "to develop technically efficient procedures for mineral exploration in the major cratons of South Australia, through a comprehensive...

Ideal location - 26 miles from Adelaide - good climate. 3½ miles from Nairne on Adelaide-Melbourne railway line. Electric supply to Nairne-Power requirements could probably be obtained from supply company. Small flow permanent water beside deposit,...

Late Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks of the Arckaringa Basin in northern South Australia include diamictite and sandstone units of the Boorthanna Formation that were deposited as lodgement till under fluvioglacial conditions. The clast size and matrix...

Regolith mapping over the Mingary 1:100 000 map area in the northeast of the State is in progress. To date, the Cockburn North, Cockburn South, Mutooroo North, Mutooroo South and Radium Hill South 1:25 000 maps have been completed. A well-developed...

During the very early days of settlement, inhabitants of Adelaide and the surrounding plains were forced to depend upon surface water supplies for their needs. These were obtained by collecting water shed from roofs, and by carting or pumping from the...

This hydrogeochemical atlas for South Australia builds on the accompanying notes to the revised hydrogeochemical data from the SA_Geodata groundwater dataset. The dataset is available online (Gray and Bardwell, 2016a;...

Concealed basement on GILES comprises ?Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic rocks belonging to the Nawa Subdomain of the Gawler Craton. These are intruded by Mesoproterozoic Hiltaba Suite granitic bodies and Mesoproterozoic or Neoproterozoic...

The precise geometric definition of palaeochannels on the north-western Gawler Craton, South Australia, is important in the exploration for placers (e.g. gold and heavy minerals), secondary geochemical deposits (e.g. uranium) and even for lignite and...

A version of the Russian-invented CHIM electro-geochemical prospecting technique, which has lately been developed at Guilin University, China, was trialled in field surveys conducted at the Challenger gold mine, and at the Kalkaroo Cu-Au-Mo and Goulds...

Approximately 30 square km of outcrop of Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks in the vicinity of Ameroo Hill were geologically mapped by the author at 1:10,000 scale, with the aim of identifying meso- and macroscopic rock structures and lithologically...

Thick sediment cover in the Proterozoic Curnamona Province impedes effective mineral exploration in some of the most prospective areas located away from bedrock outcrop. The objectives of the CurnaMinEx project are to test the effectiveness of surface...

Ten glacial megaclasts, unique perhaps from a global perspective, have been identified in the half-graben rift of the MacDonald Corridor. The MacDonald Corridor is the most easterly of four half-grabens containing Neoproterozoic low-grade...
