Exploration of an area situated between Whyalla, Iron Knob and The Bluff overlooking Myall Creek, 20 km south-west of Port Augusta, aimed to test for Olympic Dam - type Cu-U-Au mineralisation associated with products of igneous activity located in and...

In the course of the programme of sampling of rocks for age determination on Northern Eyre Peninsula, an opportunity was taken to check certain stratigraphic relationships, with particular reference to the age of the Tent Hill Formation and Corunna...

At the request of Mr. C. England, Assistant Engineer for Design, E. and W.S. Department, the sites for 5 alternative water storage facilities near Whyalla were examined on 17th and 18th February, 1965. On 18th February, the inspections were in company...

Based on regional mapping, preliminary maps are presented. The area contains some of the best exposures of Archaean to Early Proterozoic and critical information on missing link (Middle Proterozoic) between Early and Late Proterozoic evolution of the...

5 thin sections consist of conglomeratic sandstones and silty mudstones. The sandstones are typical Moonabie Formation and include a framework component of reworked acid pyroclastics and a sericitic matrix. The mudstones are weakly foliated and may...

In December, 1979 a display of selected drillcore from the Gawler Craton, South Australia, was exhibited at the core Library complex of the South Australian Department of Mines and Energy. It was organised by the Geological Society of Australia (SA...

In South Australia the Gawler Province displays a history of early Proterozoic orogenic evolution and transitional tectonism leading to deposition of the Gawler Range Volcanics (ca 1500 Ma) on a relatively stable platform. A fragmentary record of...

Beda Volcanics and Backy Point Formation crop out in only a few localities on northeastern Eyre Peninsula, north of Whyalla, but drilling has shown them to extend for approximately 170 km to the north below younger cover. The Beda Volcanics comprise...

Exploration for Mount Isa style, Fe-oxide associated Cu-Au mineralisation has targeted Whyalla Group metasediments and associated Hiltaba Suite granitic intrusions within a 110 km long x 15 km wide, north - south aligned corridor situated west of...

EL 5898 is an area of 155 km2 located in the Roopena area of South Australia approximately 10 km northwest of Whyalla on 1:250,000 Map Sheet: Port Augusta (SH5304) and Whyalla (SH5308). Works within EL 5898 have targeted predominantly IOCG-style...

A small area located on the eastern side of the Roopena Fault Zone, proximal to the south-eastern margin of the Gawler Ranges, is being explored for possible buried epigenetic gold and silver mineralisation, or IOCG type base metal sulphide...

Ongoing exploration for a possible Cattlegrid type stratabound copper deposit over an area south-west of Lake Torrens included aerial magnetic and EM surveys, drill testing of EM anomalies by 47 percussion holes totalling 2086 m, a regional magnetic...

All previously collected rock specimens were reclassified and discussed.
