Progress reports on prospectivity investigations carried out in 1962 to assess phosphorite deposits formed within Adelaidean sediments of the Flinders Ranges [prior to the grant of a SML over an area in the southern Flinders Ranges].
TARGET: Phosphate occurrences in the Mid Sturtian from Port Pirie to Marree. EXPLORATION: Regional investigation of the occurrence, distribution and origin of phosphate by mapping of known phosphate occurrences and geological traversing across...-
