As part of conducting a regional search for possible occurrences of Tertiary sediment-hosted, Wyoming roll-front type uranium mineralisation, the Paralana Plains joint venture partners were required to drop at least 25% of the area of their EL 402...

A programme of rotary drilling of 56 holes on EL 396 (ENV 3300) & EL 408 tested for bauxite and kaolin in the weathered profile, and for base metals in Cambrian bedrock at the end of two holes. Economic amounts of the commodities were not found.

In order to appraise a potentially economic discovery of very pure, high reflectivity kaolin clay located near Kapinnie on southern Eyre Peninsula, a drilling programme is planned by Endeavour Oil which aims to outline around 33 million tons of kaolin...

Samples of friable white sandstone from two auger drill holes have been analysed and shown to be suitable for glass manufacture after removal of approximately 20% kaolin. White clay underlying the sandstone is worth further exploration.

Investigations carried out since 1964 have shown that although there are large reserves of Permian, Tertiary and Quaternary clays present near Klein Point, their chemical composition or physical characteristics render them unsuitable for use in the...

Ceramic white ware bodies have been developed successfully on a laboratory scale using samples of local clays, talc and silica. Proposals are being examined to manufacture wall tiles and other ceramic products at Port Pirie. Aspects of the occurrence,...

In response to a verbal request by Mr R Good, Designing Engineer, Engineering and Water Supply Department, geological investigations were carried out to locate and determine the strike and dip of a possibly permeable metasandstone layer, which was...

White, kaolinitic clay suitable as paper filler occurs in bleached shale. Drilling programme of 97 holes (7 000 feet) aims to define the body and prove reserves. Washing is necessary.

White weathered shale in the Birdwood area appears to be associated with north-south trending quartzite ridges. Scout drilling is recommended between quartzite ridges south of the pit in Section 6397, Hundred of Talunga.

Based on earlier published work on barium sulphate-alumina-silica systems, Amdel submitted a proposal to the South Australian Department of Mines to examine the application of these reported methods to South Australian barytes and kaolin. The proposal...

Stream sediment sampling, induced polarization surveys and a 44 drill hole rotary drilling program were undertaken over the Anabama Granite. The granite was found to be unmineralized except for greisened portions containing anomalous copper and...

Geological and topographical mapping of a white kaolin clay claim on section 166, Hundred Para Wirra, and laboratory ceramic investigation of representative borehole samples has been conducted. White clay, formed by intense leaching of Kanmantoo...

The possible areal extent and potential in-ground resources of secondary kaolin developed from deep lateritic weathering of Early Proterozoic basement rocks on central-eastern Eyre Peninsula were investigated by the licensee, with a view to obtaining...
