Lake Cadi Potash Project. Progress and final reports for the period January 1982 to 10/2/83.
To evaluate potash potential, brine samples were collected from below the dry bed of Lake Cadibarrawirracanna, and analysed for Ca, Mg, Na, K, B, HCO3, C1, total phosphate and sulphate. Potassium contents were too low to be of interest.-

RB 93/00016 Soil Air CO2/O2 Project: Progress report 5. Curnamona area.
The rationale of soil air carbon dioxide and oxygen measurements, as a guide to oxidising sulphide, is that sulphide oxidation in the presence of water and oxygen will produce sulphuric acid which in turn, will attack any carbonates present to produce...-
