Several clay samples were examined for possible activity in the decolourizing of mineral oils. Of those which responded to acid treatment, two were from local sources, and the others from remote areas beyond Port Augusta. The two local clays could...

Specimens from the Mt Grainger Goldfield include quartzites, sandstones in which kaolinite is believed to represent earlier feldspar, siltstones, shales, diamictites of probable glaciogene origin, granitoids and andesites. Low to moderate temperature...

Gravity surveys in the North-West Province of the state, begun in 1960, were continued in 1965. Detailed gravity surveys were carried out over the Claude Hills jasper zone and adjacent alluvium covered areas, near Mount Davies, and east of Gosse’s...

Stream sediment sampling, induced polarization surveys and a 44 drill hole rotary drilling program were undertaken over the Anabama Granite. The granite was found to be unmineralized except for greisened portions containing anomalous copper and...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by PIRSA during July 2012 to process HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data acquired over the Mount Painter region of SA on 28/3/1998. The nominal pixel size acquired was 4.5 m x 4.5 m, within a surveyed area of...

Relevant older data from a sequence of exploration programs in the Mount Painter Province, undertaken on Special Mining Leases since 1965, have been previously released. Exploration for possible economic buried epithermal/hydrothermal and stratabound...

In a search for possible economic roll-front sedimentary uranium deposits thought to be hosted by Middle Eocene Pidinga Formation fluvial and lacustrine terrestrial sediments deposited in the eastern Eucla Basin, 13 scout RAB/RC open holes were...

As part of a continued search for possible Proterozoic - Cainozoic unconformity - related, concealed sedimentary uranium deposits in an area of the Eucla Basin located 60 km north of Fowlers Bay, Pechiney conducted geological reconnaissance, ground...
