Deposits occur in dunes along margins of gypseous playa lakes, with indicated reserves of 115 000 tonnes, averaging 58% gypsum and inferred reserves of 116 000 tonnes of 50 to 75% gypsum. Grade is suitable for agricultural gypsum usage.

Survey for alternative sources to the traditional pit in the Morgan Conservation Park, located potential deposit in the Murray River valley, 7 km east of Morgan and 2 other sources nearby. However, this deposit is inferior to the Morgan pit and...

Synthesis of previous data to provide a stratigraphy of the sites and an attempt to place constraints on the age of units which contain Aboriginal remains. The archaeological remains occur in aeolian sand which forms dunes on the East Bank of the...

A total of 6 test pits and 4 hand auger holes were constructed to extend and delineate the known reserves of seed gypsum at Parcoola, located approximately 40 km north-northeast of Waikerie, and to explore for possible further reserves of higher grade...

TARGET: Possible economic heavy mineral sands accumulations that may have formed within the Early to Middle Pleistocene marginal marine sediments deposited around and behind basement shoals of the Padthaway Ridge. EXPLORATION: Reconnaissance reverse...

This report deals with the stratigraphy and sedimentary history of the Chowilla area in the Murray Basin. Local geology is set against a background of geological information derived from other areas in southern Australia. Local stratigraphy is based...

Reconnaissance auger drilling for construction sand to supply the proposed new city of Monarto was carried out in the Tepko-Mannum and Hartley-Monarto South areas in 1974 The programme consisted of 79 holes 0.6m to15m deep for a total of 451m. Grain...

Two Holocene lunette dunes lying near the Barrier Highway, 14 km east of Peterborough, were sampled by hand digging pits to depths of 0.5 and 0.6 m. The respective two sediment samples were composed predominantly of sand (79% and 63% SiO2), with their...
