Three diamond drillholes recently completed at the Blue Hole crocidolite deposits, located 3 miles north-west of Robertstown, indicate the limited nature of the mineralisation. Boring proved that the asbestos-bearing biotite-albite-hornblende veins...

A sample of low grade asbestos-bearing material from the Robertstown district was treated by flotation, and hydraulic classification. The results were not encouraging and no further work is warranted on this sample.

Prospecting for asbestos and phosphate rock on the Kapunda sheet has been completed, and work begun on the Florieton sheet. Although 42 possible phosphate occurrences have been sampled, no economic deposit has been found. Small deposits of tremolite...

Two licence areas together covering the hinterland to Arno Bay and Port Gibbon on eastern Eyre Peninsula, and extending as far north-westwards as Rudall, are being explored for economic buried graphite deposits that may have formed in deformed high...

A regional geological survey covered 15 standard 1-mile map sheets. Detailed mapping established a 50 000 ft sequence of Archaean sedimentation of gneissose, schistose and granitoid rocks, migmatite, quartzite, dolomite and haematitic quartzite. These...

The target was possible diamonds, with base metals and coal as secondary interests. Initially, a 1:25,000 scale colour aerial photographic survey was flown across part of the now relinquished licence area, to assist BHP in mapping geomorphic and...
