Exploratory drilling to search for heavy mineral sands, performed over an area extending to 160 km north and north-west of Renmark, has targeted marginal marine placer deposits of detrital rutile, ilmenite and zircon in potential Loxton - Parilla Sand...

21 shallow auger holes totalling 128 m were drilled along 4 traverses which cross the Naracoorte Range between Penola and Naracoorte. Traces of heavy minerals were detected below 8 m depth within the area of a large radiometric anomaly, but further...

Within the now relinquished licence portions, parts of six traverses of reverse circulation aircore drilling (involving 68 vertical open holes, total 1918.5 m) tested 60 km strike length of interpreted heavy mineral sand - bearing marine beach facies...

Initial exploration efforts in the Ungalootanna Hill area, 80 km north of Marla, focussed on nickel-copper mineralisation hosted by Proterozoic ultramafic rocks. Following the acquisition of the licence by Mithril Resources, an assessment of the...

Appraisal of the Beltana zinc deposit continued during the current licence period, principally by diamond drilling (6 holes, total 2570 feet) aimed at delineating blind extensions to the main orebody on its southern side. The drilling was very...

A research project to determine the leaching behaviour of oxidised copper ores at laboratory scale was undertaken by Amdel at the request of the South Australian Department of Mines. The trials took place using sulphuric acid lixiviant acting on the...

Kaolin, derived mainly from deep weathering of Hiltaba Suite granites, was the principal target of exploration in the area south and south-west from Poochera, near Streaky Bay on western Eyre Peninsula. Following a review made of historic drillhole...

An initial investigation programme aimed at obtaining hydraulic data from part of the Lake Phillipson Permian coal field been successfully completed. The initial area under consideration for mining is of approximately 130 hectares within the Western...

Exploration for graphite primarily, and secondarily for BIF-associated massive base metal sulphides, in the area surrounding the historic Uley graphite mine situated 15 km west south-west of Port Lincoln, initially comprised an airborne reconnaissance...

Exploration on SML 564 has consisted of a continuation of deep rotary mud open hole, plug and core drilling plus washing-out of existing, older Petromin "P...w" series drillholes to allow new generation downhole geophysical logging, aimed at further...

The major aim of this project is to develop a method of leaching a range of ore types in the Honeymoon deposit using the push-pull technique. For alkaline leaching, reagent conditions were based on laboratory bottle roll studies and data from the...

Lake Phillipson coal appears to be suitable for liquefaction, giving an 80% solvent-based conversion of dry, ash-free material to 61% coal extract and 19% gas, with the former product yielding 41% mineral oil upon distillation.

This report addresses processes and systems by which Lake Phillipson coal may be converted to fuel gases and liquids, sometimes with the simultaneous production of char. Published literature has been the source of all of the information. Aspects of...

Analyst's reports presenting the results of small scale test work conducted on selected drill core samples of coal taken from the 'S' and 'T' seams in the West Basin deposit of the Lake Phillipson coal measures.

The majority of mineral exploration undertaken in the South Eagle area, centred 40 km north-east of Olary, has targeted stratabound Pb-Zn-Ag, stratabound massive sulphide Cu-Zn-Co-Mn, and Cu-Au mineralisation that may have formed in Proterozoic rocks...

The Kapunda region is principally one in which prolonged denudation, or lowering of the landsurface, has been operative over the past 100 Ma, while the present topographic amplitude of the region is also at its greatest since the onset of the...
