The Cairn Hill magnetite-copper-gold project, located 55 km south-east of South Australia’s far northern regional centre of Coober Pedy, has been developed by IMX Resources Ltd (IMX) and is the first large iron ore mine to be opened in South Australia...

Large potential field anomalies can be observed in the Marla region of northern South Australia, and have been used to define the northern limit of the Gawler Craton. The subject project’s aim was to model the plausible source(s) for each of those...

The laser ablation - inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) U-Pb zircon geochronology data reported herein derive from three rock samples sourced from the central - northern Gawler Craton, South Australia. These samples have been...

The PACE Geochronology program fosters collaboration on projects of geological and metallogenic significance with focus on dating rocks and minerals from samples suggested by companies through a competitive proposal-based selection process. Successful...

This report book contains SHRIMP zircon U-Pb geochronological data obtained between July 2007 and June 2009, for 10 metasedimentary and meta-igneous rocks from the Mulgathing Complex of the north-estern Gawler Craton. The geochronological study was...

During 2013-2014, Geoscience Australia, in collaboration with the Geological Survey of South Australia (PACE Frontiers), the Geological Survey of Western Australia (Royalties for Regions Exploration Incentive Scheme), and AuScope, funded acquisition...

Upper crustal strata forming the northern to central Flinders Ranges area comprise uplifted and eroded remnants of openly folded sedimentary rocks that were deposited in an intra-continental arm of the Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian Adelaide...

The northern to central Flinders Ranges area comprise uplifted and eroded remnants of openly folded sedimentary rocks that were deposited in an intra-continental arm of the Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian Adelaide Geosyncline. Deposition was...

This geotechnical workshop of seminars and core displays, which was held over two days on 5-6 December 2002, aimed to highlight recent collaborative research between PIRSA [MER], Geoscience Australia and the South Australian mineral industry that has...

Similarities between the Athabasca and Cariewerloo Basins were first proposed by PIRSA geologists in the 1990s. Subsequently, the uranium potential of the Cariewerloo Basin has been heavily promoted by PIRSA. Both are intracratonic basins containing...

South Australia’s Olympic Cu-Au Province hosts some of the world’s great iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits, such as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena. The same causative thermal event resulted in variants of this deposit class being...

The Burra (Burra) Mine, situated 150 km north of Adelaide within the Adelaide Geosyncline, produced 2.7 million tonnes of copper ore in two major mining phases - 1845-1877 and 1970-1981. The first phase was initially progressed by underground...

The Burra mine 3D model was constructed using a georeferenced version of the original hand-drafted base map, which included elevation data points surveyed during the final phase of mining. These elevation locations and associated height data were...

The SADME 1980-1981 Burra mine field mapping project was undertaken at short notice, in order to collect unique geological data and location survey information from the lower benches of the then actively worked open pit mine, before the newly exposed...

The eastern Gawler Craton hosts the giant Olympic Dam iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposit, as well as several other world class IOCG deposits (i.e. Prominent Hill and Carrapateena). The region is covered by a thick sequence of...

The Eastern Gawler Craton / Woomera Prohibited Area 3D map presented herein forms part of a collaborative project being undertaken between the Department of State Development (DSD), the University of Adelaide and the Deep Exploration Technologies...
