At the request of the Senior Geologist (Hydrology) rotary drill core from Bore No. 1 and sludges from Bores 2 and 3 were examined for microfaunas with a view to establishing the age of the sediments, to determining the sedimentary environment, and to...

Relocation by the Commonwealth Railways of part of the north south railway line has involved the by-passing of the township of Quorn, and the present hydrological survey has been undertaken in an endeavour to determine the possibility of developing...

Though a considerable amount of geological and hydrological investigation and some test boring has been done in the past, it has not proved possible to obtain a satisfactory water supply for the township of Melrose to date. Three bores were drilled by...

A regional gravity low occurring south of Round Hill on the ORROROO 1:250,000 sheet was mapped in detail by closely spaced gravity stations, to investigate its possible connection with diapiric breccia located nearby. The suggested model for the...

Thermally altered argillites and mobilised rocks of anomalous compositions have been attributed to the burning of coal seams in the Triassic succession deposited in the small synclinal 'Springfield' Basin. Some aspects of this explanation appear...

Survey of 1000 water wells.

A survey made of the Willochra groundwater basin has located 16 uncontrolled artesian wells, flowing at a total estimated rate of 150 Ml per year. This discharge is approximately 15% of the estimated total annual use of local groundwater. Scant...

From a biostratigraphic study of the distribution of dispersed fossil spores and pollen in the Lower Tertiary sediments of southern Australia, six zonules have been recognised. These have been correlated with the succession of foraminiferal zones in...

The availability of adequate water supplies is crucial to future development, particularly in the arid areas of the State. Primary Industries and Resources South Australia (PIRSA), as part of the Spencer Regions Strategic Water Management Study, has...

The results of a data review by MESA in 1992 to assess the prospectivity of the northern Flinders Ranges for concealed Triassic coal highlighted four main areas as having the best potential for a discovery. Following exploration for coal by MESA/ETSA...

A new well was drilled to replace a 21 year old well (No. 3) in which the casing had corroded and which was producing sand. The well-field taps aquifers in weathered Adelaidean sandstones beneath low permeability sediments of the Willochra Basin. The...

Diamond exploration over two relinquished part EL areas located between Quorn and Hawker in the southern Flinders Ranges has comprised kimberlite indicator mineral and geochemical sampling of drainage channels situated on the eastern margins of the...

Exploration for diamonds and also for possible ultramafic igneous intrusion - related base metal mineralisation is being conducted in the area surrounding the small Permo-Triassic fluvioglacial sedimentary basin at Springfield in the southern Flinders...

PEL00145 covering 5738km2 and located in the southern Finders Ranges area was granted to Greenpower Energy on 21st Feb. 2011 for a period of 5 years. The licence area covered the entire Willochra Basin and also included the Tertiary Boolcunda and...

Grid-based ground magnetic surveys, 10 stream sediment samples for heavy mineral analysis, and 1 rotary drillhole to 40 m total depth were acquired in the relinquished area of the licence, in a search for possible diamondiferous kimberlites. Two...
