The purpose of the work described was to compare and contrast the petrography, accessory minerals, and absolute ages of 25 granitic and allied rock samples collected from widely scattered localities in South Australia. The processes that are...

In June of this year Mr. Norton submitted specimens of thorian brannerite and davidite from Section 5331, Hundred Kanmantoo, and Section 328, Hundred Jutland, respectively. The localities from which these minerals came were inspected by Mr. M.N. Hiern...

37 000 tonnes of gold-copper ore have been produced from the Kitticoola Mine in five phases of mining during its 150 year history. 30 000 tonnes were mined as gold ore, yielding 162 560 grams of gold at an average grade of 5.4 grams/tonne. 7 000...

Excursions focussing on the Precambrian, Cambrian and Permian geology were designed to cover the range of time when it is believed that South Australia and Antarctica were in juxtaposition.

Possible economic gold and stratiform / stratabound base metal sulphide deposits, that had been surmised to have formed within certain reactive metasedimentary units in folded and faulted Cambrian strata lying between Mount Pleasant and Strathalbyn in...

TARGET: Within a small area centred on Cambrai township, all metallic minerals, but primarily gold which might occur in the Black Hill Norite complex. EXPLORATION: Limited surface rock chip grab geochemical sampling (5) at the Black Hill council...

TARGET: Possible base and precious metals mineralisation in Cambrian metasediments and younger Delamerian igneous intrusive rocks of the Palmer area of the Kanmantoo Trough. EXPLORATION: BCL (bulk cyanide leach) and stream sediment geochemical...

Past exploratory work done at the Kitticoola mine is discussed. Six diamond drillholes put down by SADME between 1935 and 1938 located sub-economic Cu-Au mineralisation in several projections of known lodes. Geophysical surveys by McPhar Geophysics...

Kitticoola mine is situated within the outcrop of the Palmer Granite near the Palmer Fault. Copper bearing, sparingly auriferous sulphides occur in lodes following a conjugate fracture pattern. Early workings, dating from 1844, exploited enriched...

Available open file stream sediment geochemical, airborne magnetic survey and prospect drilling data were compiled for the Palmer - Keyneton area, 60 km north-east of Adelaide. After reviewing the compiled data, Aberfoyle concluded that the...

The Kitticoola - North Rhine area, which borders the Ordovician Palmer Granite intrusion, has been explored for possible economic buried gold and base metals mineralisation by carrying out limited BLEG stream sediment sampling and by taking rock chip...

Detailed underground geological mapping and mine surveying of accessible openings, plus limited surface mapping and ground EM traverses, were lately carried out at the Kitticoola mine. From the results of this work it was concluded that to attempt a...

Stream sediment, rock chip and soil sampling of potentially prospective lithologies and stratigraphic settings in the area surrounding the historic Kanappa mining leases proved disappointing, with no encouraging base or precious metal anomalism...
