An aquifer storage and recovery scheme is being developed at Clayton township on Lake Alexandrina, South Australia, notably as a solution to provide a town water supply in a location where blue-green algae make River Murray water (extracted via the...

It is estimated that 390 000 ML of storm water/effluent is generated in South Australia annually. Most is discharged, with less than 5% being reused. In recent times attitudes have changed and the resource potential of this water is being...

Hydrochemical data from a total of 165 bores along the 40 kilometre wide strip of the South Australian - Victorian Border Designated Area were used to provide a spatial, and temporal, hydrochemical framework of the groundwaters from the three main...

Established producers have taken advantage of export opportunities for gypsum, salt and dolomite. New developments include a graphite processing plant at the former Uley Graphite Mine and trial mining of micaceous iron oxide for pigments. Proposals...

Three new observation wells monitoring the Tertiary confined limestone aquifer underlying the Angas-Bremer Irrigation Area have been completed.

This data package discusses mining and processing operations of the major non metallic and industrial mineral commodities in South Australia and is of interest to those in the industry and to manufacturers and suppliers of a range of machinery and...

A trachyandesite from the Gawler Range Volcanics at Buckleboo and an alkali basalt from the main quarry at Mount Schank are suitable for Departmental geochemical standards. A sample from an outcrop of Heatherdale Shale at Carrickalinga Head is a...

A Highways Department quarry on the southern bank of the Onkaparinga Gorge was operated intermittently between 1962 and 1973, producing mainly 32 mm screened crushed rock. The quarry is situated on the crest of a southerly plunging anticline in...

Kapunda DC is underlain by folded Adelaidean and Cambrian metasediments which host important mineral deposits in the area. An estimated 15 million tonnes of ore averaging 1.2% copper remains near the Kapunda mine, with potential for further...

A TEM Survey was carried out west of the quarry to determine whether the method was helpful in differentiating between hard and soft limestone for blasting / rippability purposes. Apparent resistivity variations in early channels probably mapped...

The Koonunga limestone prospect occurs within the Cambrian Kapunda Marble, which forms part of the Kanmantoo Trough metasedimentary sequence deposited on the eastern side of the Adelaide Geosyncline. The limestone outcrop of interest is located...

Shallow pattern drilling on a two-mile grid (49 percussion holes for a total penetration of 2694 feet) has been carried out by BHP in the area between Port Linclon and Coffin Bay to assess the possible reserves and quality of aeolianite limestone rock...

TARGET: Downdip extensions of known Cambrian stratabound mineralisation occurring at the Eric lead-zinc prospect, principally along a mineralised, disconformable interpreted syn-depositional palaeosurface developed within the Wilkawillina Limestone....

TARGET: Phosphate occurrences in the Mid Sturtian from Port Pirie to Marree. EXPLORATION: Regional investigation of the occurrence, distribution and origin of phosphate by mapping of known phosphate occurrences and geological traversing across...

AIM:The 1974 Everard Seismic Survey consisted of a detailed grid of 103 km over the Munyarai prospect, and a regional tie line of 54 km with outcrops at the rim of the Officer Basin, to investigate the possibility of a prospective Ordovician sequence...

Two adjoining licence areas located ~ 40 km north-east of Leigh Creek township, in the ranges lying immediately east of the Telford coal basin, are being explored for possible economic occurrences of marble rock which are believed to hold enormous...

In a search for possible economic sedimentary uranium deposits, a resistivity survey and a 19 hole, 2818 m reconnaissance open hole rotary drilling and downhole geophysical logging programme were carried out in parts of the Tertiary Curnamona...
