TARGET: In an untested area immediately west of Leigh Creek, extending as far as the eastern side of Lake Torrens, ETSA was aiming to find buried deposits of Late Palaeozoic or Mesozoic coal of a rank at least equal to that of Leigh Creek coal (and...

Reports on the investigation of potential northern Spencer Gulf coastal sites for the solar evaporative production of seawater salt, principally as a feedstock for the proposed petrochemical plant which was being considered by Dow Chemical Corp. for...

Field tests continued as part of the salt project, to confirm salt crystallization and purification data. Results indicate that brine production rates and quality and quantity of salt output are comparable with the results from previous tests....
