The mining of barite in South Australia began in 1910, when 60 tons were produced at Williamstown. With the development of the petroleum industry in Australia in the 1960'sand consequent expansion of drilling activity offshore the production of barite, although small compared to other mining operations, has risen rapidly in South Australia to supply the bulk of Australian needs and for export overseas. This collated series of Mineral Information Series brochures are for the years 1958, 1960, 1969 and 1976
