Author: Grasso, R.;Duncan, N.

TARGET: To define lignite in the Wilkinson Lakes lignite deposit which is of a composition that would be suitable to undergo carbon beneficiation and/or coal liquefaction processes; also, any economic oil shale occurrences and/or sedimentary uranium mineralisation that may exist in the Pidinga Formation. EXPLORATION: Drilling of 1 rotary/diamond HQ corehole (TD 50.48 m) at a site located approximately 160 km west-southwest of Coober Pedy, and sampling of sealed drill core intervals cut from it. RESULTS: The results of coal sample material tests were considered to be encouraging, and so a systematic drilling/logging/sampling programme was proposed, but was not carried out due to inability to procure the use of a suitable drilling rig.
