The Benagerie Ridge is a basement high which has been actively shedding detritus since Adelaidean times. It includes porphyry, with thin cover of Adelaidean rocks, flanked by Cambrian and possible Adelaidean sediments. The Cainozoic blankets the...

Edeowie 1 (TD 984 metres), which aimed to identify a series of seismic reflectors mapped by SADME beneath the eastern Lake Torrens piedmont plain, has intersected a stratigraphic sequence with features indicating that complex structural changes occur...

Includes surface and subsurface stratigraphic data, and a geological map at 1:500 000 scale. 18 bores were re-logged.

The area mapped includes most of the area south of Lake Frome between the Flinders and Barrier Ranges, and part of the Olary Hills. Basin nomenclature has been revised for the Cainozoic. Drilling by CSR, Minad and Petromin NL has been used in the...

Two major palaeodrainage systems of Tertiary age, with watersheds of up to 35 000 square km and channel lengths of 200-250 km, have been recognised and delineated using LANDSAT imagery, during 1:250 000 scale geological mapping in western South...

The widespread extent of silcretes in SA is demonstrated through stratigraphic relationships with palynologically dated sequences, and erosion of silcretes. The late Tertiary silcrete dominates the duricrusted landscape. Silica type varies according...

Age demonstrated by stratigraphic relationships with palynologically dated sequences, and evidence of erosion of silcretes.

Skeleton 2 penetrated sediments of the eastern Lake Eyre Basin, the Frome Embayment, and granitic basement of the Mount Painter Ridge. The hole records the southernmost known occurrence of Cadna-owie Formation in the Frome Embayment. Unexpectedly,...

Plant macrofossils from silicified Cainozoic fluvial sediments on CURDIMURKA occur in 2 discrete suites. One suite has been found only in outcrops of silicified Eyre Formation in the Poole Creek Palaeochannel. This suite and the macroflora of the...

A sample of carbonaceous mud was assigned a Middle Eocene age. The date also provides maximum age for the silcrete which indurates the upper part of the formation in the creek.

Exploration conduced over three semi-adjacent small licence areas located 50-75 km north-east, north and north-west of Marree targeted possible near-surface sedimentary uranium deposits in sandstone palaeochannels, and also sedimentary phosphate rock...

A PACE Initiative Year 3 subsidised drilling programme has been undertaken by the EL 3482 licensees over part of the Yarramba Palaeochannel north of the Honeymoon U deposit, seeking similar, Tertiary sediment-hosted roll-front uranium deposits in an...

The main aim of Havilah Exploration's PACE Initiative Year 3 approved drilling programme was to test the east-west trending, quartz-veined breccia zone that passes through the central Kalkaroo Dome, specifically in the footwall of the Kalkaroo Cu-Au...

The subject EL 3391 is located in the eastern Lake Frome region, and is prospective for roll-front type uranium mineralisation emplaced within sediments of the Tertiary Lake Eyre Basin. In December 2006, as part of the PACE Initiative Year 3...

A small area centred ~33 km north-west of Cockburn and ~26 km south-southeast of the Honeymoon deposit has been explored for possible buried, calcrete hosted secondary uranium deposits that may have formed in Quaternary valley fill sediments, and also...

A wide basinal area located east of Marree and bordering the northern Willouran Ranges is being explored afresh for sedimentary uranium occurrences in response to market conditions and the demonstrated prospectivity of the local cover rocks, which...

Southern Cross Resources Australia Pty Ltd (Southern Cross) purchased Rio Tinto Exploration Limited’s share of the Northern Olary Joint Venture, including its interest in the subject EL 2310 Yarramba, in November 2000. Southern Cross has held the...

An area centred ~50 km north-west of Olary is continuing to be explored for possible buried economic Prominent Hill or Olympic Dam type iron oxide associated copper-gold (IOCG) breccia style mineralisation. The area is considered highly prospective...
