  • BULLOO OVERFLOW PROSPECTIVITY REVIEW V1DP004 C149 $22.00
  • DIMENSION STONE IN NSW. A natural stone that is cut to specific dimensions largely for use in the building, construction and monumental industries. In NSW, the main groups of dimension stone are sandstone, granite, marble and slate. Basic data on all known dimension stone resources in NSW are documented, and selected resources are examined in detail. Quarrying and processing, quality and specifications, and the history and present structure of the industry are also discussed. B639 $33.00
  • EFFECTS OF LAND USE ON COAL RESOURCES. Although NSW has very large resources of coal, about half of the coal is already affected by other land uses, particularly National Parks and prime agricultural land. Furthermore, much of the remaining coal resource is of less than economic quality. B610 $33.00

  • NATURAL ZEOLITES IN NSW - AN INFORMATION PACKAGE FOR EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT IN NSW. There are over 45 distinct natural zeolite species and chemists have synthesised more than 150 others. Natural zeolite minerals have been used in various agricultural and industrial applications. Major uses of zeolites are as an additive to animal feeds and certain soils, for adsorption and odour control, in water treatment and pollution control, and for desiccant and anticaking uses. High purity zeolite materials have been used in solar energy in solar heat storage and in gas separation and catalysis. B612 $15.40
