Possible potash and halite resources in evaporite - rich sediment sequences of the Tallaringa Trough, lying at depths that might be suitable for solution mining, were the initial targets of exploration in the Wilkinson Lakes area. Following a...

The Officer Basin covers about 300,000 square km and is largely concealed beneath sediments of the Gibson and Great Victoria deserts in western and southern Australia. Approximately two-thirds of the Officer Basin lies in Western Australia....

In South Australia, the intracratonic eastern Officer Basin, which may contain up to 10 km of Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic sediments, is bounded by the Precambrian Gawler Craton to the southeast, the Musgrave Block to the north, and passes into...

Following the allocation in 1992 of Aust $2 million to MESA for petroleum exploration as part of the SA Exploration Initiative, the Department undertook to conduct reconnaisance seismic surveys over selected, poorly known sedimentary basins. As part...

Preliminary analysis of 6 core samples from 1237-1266 metres depth in Giles 1 has revealed poor to fair organic richness, low concentrations of extractable organic matter and low hydrocarbon yields. Rock-Eval pyrolysis has confirmed the presence of...

The OOLDEA 1:250 000 map area, in the far west of SA, includes portions of the Maralinga Tjarutja Aboriginal Lands, Maralinga Prohibited Area, and Nullarbor Regional Reserve. It is traversed by the Trans-Australian Railway. There is no significant...
