Report gives a detailed justification for the author's recently made proposal to erect three members of a new "supergroup" classification level within the published stratigraphy for the Adelaide Geosyncline, an idea which is based purely on observed...

Geological interpretation of image-processed aeromagnetic data, and evidence gained from recent stratigraphic traverse drilling to investigate the lithostratigraphic and tectonic nature of magnetic domains, plus the results of previous investigations,...

Eight new groundwater wells were drilled near Angaston as part of an investigation into the recharge mechanisms of the Barossa Valleys aquifer systems. It is currently believed that rainfall permeates the hard rock complexes of the hills around...

Mineralization is widespread both geographically and stratigraphically, but many areas are under-explored. Past exploration was generally focussed on copper. Further investigation is recommended in the following units and areas: . Cambrian - Hawker...

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...

The Adelaide Geosyncline contains an extremely thick folded Late Proterozoic to Middle Cambrian sequence deposited initially in rifted troughs and later in broad zones of regional subsidence. Age constraints on deposition are based on dating of rare...

To investigate the possible Cu-Ni-PGE mineral sulphide mineralisation potential of a known buried mafic / ultramafic layered igneous intrusive complex situated within the Cambrian Kanmantoo Trough near Ki Ki in the upper South-East, the licensee and...

During initial exploration of the Mount Mary area, located approximately 120 km north-east of Adelaide, the compilation and reprocessing of available gravity and magnetic data were used to interpret the bedrock geology hidden under a widespread...

The Heatherdale Shale and the stratigraphically younger Karinya Shale are transgressive units within the Lower Cambrian of the Karinya Syncline. Black muds of the Heatherdale Shale were deposited in an outer ramp setting of the Stansbury Basin under...

AIM:To provide critical structural information on the relationships between major structural provinces (viz. Stansbury Basin / Adelaide Geosyncline / Kanmantoo Trough / Murray Basin) and, in particular, test an hypothesis that folded rocks from the...

A detailed study of the stratigraphy, sedimentology and thermal history of the Heatherdale Shale, the youngest unit of the Early-Mid Cambrian Normanville Group (Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia), was undertaken to elucidate its petroleum source...

This Cambrian marble deposit, which has been quarried by BHP since August 1942 to supply metallurgical fluxes to its Whyalla Steelworks, has recently been surveyed, mapped at 1:1200 scale and sampled through its entire extent to determine stone grades...

The magmatic province of the eastern Delamerian Orogen concealed beneath the Murray Basin in eastern South Australia, including under EL 2487, has potential for several styles of mineralisation, including: - Magmatic-associated Cu-Au (+/_Fe)...

Gold, base metal and diamond exploration carried out over a small area located immediately south-east of Truro has comprised detailed BLEG stream sediment sampling across the licence, limited rock chip geochemical sampling of quartz veins, alluvium...

Since June 1945, an extensive programme of diamond drilling has been carried out on the recently acquired property of I.C.I. Alkali (Australia) Pty Ltd at Penrice, with the object of investigating the reserves of high grade marble available for open...

Possible economic Mississippi Valley or Irish Midlands type, stratabound hydrothermal Pb-Zn mineralisation was the target of a regional appraisal of Lower Cambrian carbonate rocks on the western Fleurieu Peninsula. Initially, the licensee performed a...
