Coompana Regolith - RED Scheme

Created: 19 Nov 2024 Revised: 15 Jan 2025

The Coompana Regolith mapping captures the dominant surface regolith materials accompanied by associated landforms. Defines fifteen regolith landform units across the Coompana area; dominant regolith landform unit across Coompana is erosional residual plain, other regolith units include distinctive surface drainage features like channels and claypans. Provides detailed mapping of surface linear features associated with neotectonism in the Coompana area.

A major challenge that bedrock mineral exploration faces in many parts of South Australia is exploring efficiently and effectively through extensive and thick cover. The Coompana regolith map aims to provide a broad-scale framework for guiding surface geochemical prospecting for a wide range of minerals and materials, as a basis for guiding mineral exploration, and to provide a useful dataset for addressing other land use issues like groundwater.
