Summary Seismic reflection data were acquired and used successfully in hard rock terrain in a gold exploration campaign. An indirect approach was assumed which aimed to detect and delineate favourable…
Summary This study began with a survey of techniques current in the Australian mining industry for re-colonising rehabilitated mined land with appropriate fauna. It then went on to review potential…
Summary Airborne and satellite spectral data for the Kalgoorlie-Boulder 1:100 000 sheet were processed in this year-long collaborative project, to demonstrate the potential to produce useful new-generation maps of alteration…
Summary This project provides new information on particle surfaces in industrial liquors through zeta potential and acoustic measurements. A focus was the effect additives, and process conditions such as pH,…
Summary As economic depths of open pit mines are increasing, with some planned to reach 900m or more, increasing safety and economic risks may follow from the greater uncertainties due…
Summary The project objective, to evaluate the ecology of rehabilitated minesites, was met by comparing the sites’ plant species compositions, spatial arrangement, functional attributes and response to experimental fire with…
Summary The report presents a 53-element dataset for over 3000 laterite samples from the western Yilgarn Craton. It provides a regional geochemical framework dense enough to recognize regional geochemical trends…
Summary The report summarises research to introduce, expand and develop new automated drill-core and chip logging technologies for routine application in Western Australian mines, to technically and economically benefit the…
Summary The project goal was to produce a scientific basis for the effective long-term storage of Australian floral species of proven value in conservation and restoration activities. It also focused…
Summary The study was planned to answer questions including: What is the maximum slope angle that can be safely mined and rehabilitated using standard practice? And which of many erosion…
Summary Treating gravel with metham sodium to kill Phytophthora cinnamomi was investigated in this study, with the intent to develop more gravel sources that would be free of dieback fungus.…
Summary Following on Project M0358 (Report No. 256) this study focused on understanding the interaction of fluids with the deposit architecture, to enhance exploration. A preliminary fluid flow model for…
