Summary The following methods were developed: the design and optimisation of slope monitoring networks to determine optimum locations of survey instruments and prisms, through computer simulations; deformation mechanism of slopes,…
Full report title: Primary geochemical and isotopic dispersion haloes in Archaean lode-gold systems: Assessment of alteration indices for use in district and mine-scale exploration Summary The objective was to assess…
Summary A systematic palaeomagnetic/rock magnetic investigation involving detailed palaeomagnetic and petrophysical analysis of 578 oriented samples was done in the late Archaean-Palaeoproterozoic rocks in situ iron deposits of the Hamersley…
Summary This project aimed to improve understanding of the consolidation behaviour of saline and non-saline mine tailings. Particular objectives included: investigating the consolidation of tailings in the Western Australian gold…
Summary This is the first extensive U-Pb geochronological study of volcanics from the greenstone belts of the Archaean Yilgarn Block. Twenty three felsic samples of about 50 kg were processed…
Full report title: Assessment of base-metal prospectivity in sedimentary basins based on the association between hydrocarbon and metalliferous brine migration: A feasibility study based on the Fitzroy Trough/Lennard Shelf, Western…
Summary The objective of this pilot study is to investigate the effects of velocity anisotropy on depth determination from seismic sections. In particular, the influence of the elastic parameter delta…
Summary This project applied recently developed biomarker technology to correlate oils and source rocks from the Carnarvon Basin, and to explore new approaches to the use of biomarkers for characterising…
Summary Mycorrhizal fungi in undisturbed ecosystems in the Eastern Goldfields region were studied in this project to better understand their role and importance to the revegetation of disturbed mine soils.…
Summary A total of 147 personal cascade samples were taken at eleven minesites in WA covering the major ore types of gold, nickel, alumina, iron-ore, mineral sands, diamonds, industrial minerals…
Summary This study was part of a three-year project designed to characterize the adsorption of oxalate seed poisons (OSP) onto sodium oxalate, and the effect of such adsorption on oxalate…
Summary The extension research was aimed at elucidating the mechanisms by which a third component induces NSH/floc formation and finding ways to counteract the flocculation. This project is an extension…
