An integrated scientific research program addressing structural, sedimentological and metallogenic aspects of basin evolution has been conducted in the Kanmantoo Trough for the past three years. Joint collaboration in this program involved MESA, the...

Mount Barker Creek 1 was drilled by MESA Mineral Provinces Branch at a location 30 km southeast of Adelaide during May 1994 to test a model of stratiform lead-zinc mineralisation within the Kanmantoo Trough, and to confirm the composition and...

Following earlier identification by PIRSA of mineralised gossans located at the stratigraphic contact between the Cambrian Karinya Shale and Backstairs Passage Formation, exploration comprising rock chip, soil and stream sediment geochemical sampling,...

This study has identified a model for syn-diagenetic base metal mineralisation in the Talisker Calc-siltstone. The sandstone - hosted stratiform mineralisation is dominantly lead-zinc in nature, and occurs within incised valley fills. The geological...
