RB 60/00099 Testing of bores from the Eucla and Officer Basins for sedimentary phosphate.

Published: 18 May 1965 Created: 05 Nov 2024 Revised: 05 Nov 2024

Author: Russ, P.J.

Phosphate testing of bores from the Eucla and Officer basins showed that phosphate is distributed throughout the sediments in only small amounts, usually less than 1% P205. The highest values of P205 recorded were 1.65% obtained from Nullarbor no. 8 Bore and 1.60% from Eyre no. 1 stratigraphic well. No significant concentrations of phosphate were detected in any particular bed.
