Drilling of 25 cable tool holes to depth up to 20.1m in the designated area for Monarto New Town illustrates the nature, distribution and thickness of Quaternay and Tertiary sediments. The main tertiary units are the marine fossiliferous limestone of...

In October 2000 GTL Energy Pty Ltd began commercial investigations into the feasibility of establishing within Australia newly proven [coal] gas-to-liquids technology for combining power generation and synfuel production, by identifying potentially...

The Murray Basin is an intracratonic basin filled with Cainozoic fluvial to shallow marine sediments. Deposition in the Eocene and early Oligocene was characterised by floodplain and swamp deposits, emplaced with occasional interbeds of shelly clays...

A five-layer finite difference groundwater flow model (MODFLOW) was developed for the Mallee Region to determine the impacts of irrigation on water levels and salinities. The model was calibrated for steady-state conditions over the entire modelled...

The Marne River is a main tributary catchment for the River Murray, which generates ephemeral flows in wet years. Concerns have been expressed at the construction of large dams in the headwaters of the catchment, about their impacts on streamflow,...

Previous investigations of the Late Tertiary Murray Basin shallow marine littoral zone clastic sedimentary sequence (Loxton and Parilla sands) for heavy mineral sand (HM) placer accumulations have discovered numerous occurrences of economic to...

Exploration for possible ancient beach strandline heavy mineral sand placer deposits formed within the Pleistocene Bridgewater Formation has been undertaken in the State's South-East region. This pioneering on-ground work came about after several...

Nine rotary mud open holes with a total penetration of 499.3 m were drilled, chip sampled and geophysically logged in a search for Moorlands - type coal in Eocene Renmark Beds to the south-east of Murray Bridge. Although the target horizon was...

The interpreted stratigraphic succession is as follows: 0-61 feet: terrestrial sands (Pleistocene-Recent); 61-180 feet: yellow-brown sands, clayey sands and grits (Loxton Sands, Upper Miocene); 180-195 feet: light grey-buff sands (? continental ?...

Monash 1 is located 30 km west of Renmark, and was drilled to a total depth of 1050 m. It penetrated a sequence of Tertiary, Cretaceous and Permian rocks, mostly of marine origin. Cuttings recovered from the hole interval below 1012 m depth extending...

A package of fourteen mineral exploration tenements were taken up that straddled the north-eastern and south-western sides of the Padthaway Ridge, to allow the licensee to explore both the Tertiary Murray Basin and Gambier Basin sediments where they...

No new work - data collection and review only. The subject areas flanking known outcropping uraniferous basement rocks of the Padthaway Ridge were taken up to explore for possible economic sandstone-type uranium deposits that may have formed in...

A number of portions of licence areas flanking known outcropping uraniferous basement rocks of the Padthaway Ridge have recently been relinquished, after originally being taken up to explore for possible economic sandstone-type uranium deposits that...
