In a search for East Alligator River - type metamorphic uranium deposits, a review of previous geophysical data plus the conduct of ground and airborne radiometric surveys disclosed a number of anomalies in an area on central Eyre Peninsula extending...

1 of the worlds principal nephrite jade deposits was formed during a late phase tectonic event, involving cross-warping and fracturing of high grade metamorphic complex.

The talk Cowell jade : a Middle Proterozoic, marble-hosted, nephrite jade deposit gives a brief overview of previous compilations (quality, production, reserves, history, geology, structure, metamorphism, metasomatism and mechanism of nephrite...

Brief review of the deposit is presented, including regional geology, ore deposit features, production, history, quality, value, reserves and mining methods. It is the largest known high quality nephrite jade deposit in the world.

Base metal mineralisation, indicated by newly discovered shafts at the historic Atkinson Pb-Ag-Cu-Zn mine, was the impetus for exploration in the upland area 20 km north-west from Cowell. Grab samples collected from shafts, stockpiles and dumps varied...

A collection of Amdel petrographic reports providing raw data for a petrogenetic study of Cowell area jade specimens and related host rocks carried out by SADME, aimed at determining geological controls on the distribution of high quality nephrite...

TARGET: Possible stratiform Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation of the Broken Hill or Aggeneys-Gamsberg type associated with banded iron formations in Early Proterozoic metasediments. EXPLORATION: Regional ground magnetic surveys, geological mapping, 29 RAB...

A small licence area composed of three separate sub-blocks, which is centred approximately 80 km south-west of Whyalla, has been explored for possible economic buried base metal and/or gold and/or uranium mineralisation that may have formed in...

A licence area consisting of two separate sub-blocks located on the plains extending to the west of the Middleback Range on north-eastern Eyre Peninsula was taken up to explore for possible economic buried deposits of stratabound magnetite iron ore...

An area centred approximately 30 km south-east of Kimba has been explored for possible economic buried base metal and/or gold and/or uranium mineralisation that may have formed in Archaean to Palaeoprotrozoic basement rocks in this part of the...

A licence consisting of three separate sub-blocks that are centred approximately 60 km WSW of Whyalla is being explored for possible economic primary uranium mineralisation plus precious and base metals, in a structurally complex epithermal and...

Eighty-five sites of crystalline basement rocks on the Gawler Craton were inspected to determine which lithological or stratigraphical units have potential for use as dimension stone. The Gawler Craton contains a variety of rock types including...

This report contains the excursion guide for the field trip which was held as part of the Chief Government Geologists' Meeting convened in South Australia on 23rd and 24th March 2015. The focus of the field trip was to see rocks of the Gawler Range...

As part of the current mapping programme aiming to produce a second edition of the PORT AUGUSTA 1:250k geological map sheet, 8 rock samples from outcrops located on this map sheet area and on the adjoining WHYALLA 1:250k map sheet area were...

An airborne magnetic/radiometric survey and surficial calcrete, soil and MMI sampling targeted Challenger/Tunkillia-type gold and Olympic Dam style copper-gold, associated respectively with a number of shear zones and with the Charleston Granite,...

This report presents geochemical constraints on the evolution of the Minbrie Gneiss and Carpa Granite, two magmatic units occurring in the southern Gawler Craton. These two units were previously assigned to the Palaeoproterozoic Lincoln Complex,...

To continue the assessment of the dimension stone and ornamental stone potential of granitic basement outcrops present on EL 2851, a 5-year Retention Lease, RL 116, was taken out on 7/2/2006 to cover 5.9 ha of the Middle Camp granite pluton. Several...
