Eight samples of unwashed cuttings from 1500-3510 metres (Aptian to late Eocene) were measured to determine thermal history. A major jump in the apatite grain age profile between the Tertiary and Cretaceous is attributed to a major shift in sediment...

A 106 square km area, comprising two blocks which cover the main historic copper and gold - producing districts centred around the towns of Moonta and Kadina, is being explored afresh in an attempt to identify ore resources of quantity sufficient to...

16 rock samples from wells and outcrop in the western Eromanga Basin / Eringa Trough region were analysed for their apatite grain fission track properties to derive an interpretation of the geothermal history of the enclosing strata.

17 rock samples from 5 wells in the western Eromanga Basin / Eringa Trough region were analysed for their apatite grain fission track properties to derive an interpretation of the geothermal history of the enclosing strata.

Two drill cuttings samples from 2842 and 2860 feet depth KB in Apollo 1 (economic basement) were examined for their heavy mineral composition as an aid to stratigraphic correlation with Precambrian sediments found in the adjacent onshore. The well...

13 sedimentary rock samples from Proterozoic through to Mesozoic formations intersected in 5 Officer Basin wells yielded apatite fission track analysis data (track length and density) used to interpret, via statistical modelling, the broad geothermal...

Results of a study aimed at providing a better thermal history framework for understanding the post-Palaeozoic thermal evolution of parts of the Cooper-Eromanga Basin, South Australia, based on apatite fission track analysis, zircon fission track...

This report critically reassesses the biomarker geochemistry of the crude oil show encountered in the Wilkatana 1 well, using new analytical data, then compares its molecular composition with that of other Australian Cambrian oils, and discusses the...

AFTA palaeotemperature analyses of 7 selected Early Cambrian outcrop samples taken from potential hydrocarbon source beds occurring within PELs 53 and 59, were conducted by a Melbourne University consultant for Canyon Australia. The data and...

Four wells, drilled within 36 km of the Hughes and Denman Railway Sidings, explored for a possible Palaeozoic section and/or Upper Proterozoic or older basement, that was expected from Outback's regional gravity survey data to occur at or around...

Reconnaissance geochemical sampling of the eastern PARACHILNA mapsheet area for sediment-hosted base metal deposits has succeeded in locating several well-defined areas of interest, although approximately two-thirds of the SML area appears to be...

TARGET: Economic tin mineralisation. EXPLORATION: 1:32,000 scale detailed geological mapping, diamond drilling (9 shallow vertical holes - deepest 57 feet) in the Mount Mitchell area near Glenloth Goldfield, bulk sampling of greisen and vein quartz,...

Two separate prospect areas have been explored with reconnaissance and follow-up IP surveys (total 264 line km), ground magnetic surveys (34 line km), minor TX - Afmag and REM surveys (4 line km), and regional and detailed geological mapping (1:12,000...

A project to compare Gawler Craton iron formations of unknown age with those of known Archaean age (from geochronology) and with the Proterozoic, Lake Superior - type Middleback Range iron deposits has concentrated on characterising each formation by...

TARGET: Beryllium in granitic and metamorphic rocks between Old Boolcoomata Homestead and Putts Tank. EXPLORATION: Evaluation of known outcropping beryl prospects using a beryllium detector device, and reconnaissance stream sediment sampling of...

TARGET: Possible diamondiferous kimberlites subcropping under Cainozoic cover in an area located 110 km north-east of Glendambo. EXPLORATION: Acquisition and interpretation of 6759 line km of airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, regolith heavy...

An area surrounding the Emeroo Range, and extending from the vicinity of Port Augusta to 30 km west of Hawker, was explored by Utah for possible economic stratabound base metal deposits which it was thought could be associated with certain favourable...
