An extensive search for economic iron ore deposits has been made on Eyre Peninsula by the South Australian Government. Originally the search was made in the Middleback Range area, which was until recently the source of all of the iron ore used in...

To continue the assessment of the dimension stone and ornamental stone potential of granitic basement outcrops present on EL 2851, a 5-year Retention Lease, RL 116, was taken out on 7/2/2006 to cover 5.9 ha of the Middle Camp granite pluton. Several...

Cu-Au and iron ore exploration, undertaken over ground situated 10-15 km south and east of Kyancutta, comprised the acquisition of an airborne magnetic/radiometric survey and ground gravity, ground magnetic and IP surveys, followed by RC drilling of 5...

A tenement comprising five separate areas in the central Gawler Craton, situated on either side of the Bulgunnia Shear Zone at locations ranging between 20 and 55 km north of Tarcoola, was taken up to explore for possible iron oxide - associated...

Results of reconnaissance geochemical sampling of outcrop and lag gravels of ?Birksgate Complex ferruginous quartzites within the eastern Musgrave Block did not justify further exploration for potential Broken Hill-style exhalative Pb-Zn-Ag deposits.

Previous drilling by WMC at the Kartanya prospect, 30 km west of Rudall in the central-southern Eyre Peninsula, yielded several high grade Fe intersections with up to 1% P and 140 ppm Zn. Reassaying of drillhole samples returned reduced levels of...

Gold and base metal exploration undertaken in an area extending to the north and south-east of Meningie comprised image interpretation of SAEI aeromagnetic data, plus the conduct of ground magnetic surveys over and then test RC / diamond drilling of 6...

Exploration for base and precious metals within an area 40-60 km north-west of Penong, now relinquished from the EL, comprised 5 km of ground magnetic surveys and aircore drilling of 4 resulting magnetic features (13 holes, total 626 m). The drilling...

Exploration for Olympic Dam and Acropolis - style base and precious metals mineralization, north of Lake Acraman, comprised initial interpretation of SAEI aeromagnetic data plus the conduct of gravity, surface geochemical, ground magnetic, IP and...

Interpretation of available SADME/BMR airborne magnetic survey data, and subsequent ground magnetic and gravity surveys to define five targets, were conducted in the area between Watson Siding and Ooldea, prior to drilling two rotary percussion holes...

While searching for Menninnie Dam type Pb-Zn deposits a ground magnetic survey was carried out over a linear magnetic feature in the Red Dam area, south-east of Lake Gilles. RC drilling (four holes, total 349 m) intersected weakly elevated Pb/Zn, and...

Continuation by Aquitaine of its regional appraisal of the mineral potential in the Cambrian carbonate sequence on northern Yorke Peninsula, has recently involved them in acquiring and interpreting ground gravity and magnetic surveys, completing a...

A detailed rock chip sampling programme conducted over outcropping deeply laterite-weathered Palaeoproterozoic iron formations in the Pillaworta Hill area (107 samples), plus limited similar geochemical sampling of outcrop (7 samples) and of a stored...

Contains a summary log of diamond drillhole WP1, put down to a total depth of 654 feet over the "Wheat Paddock" aeromagnetic anomaly situated 5 km east of Brukunga and 8 km north of the Kanmantoo mine, plus data plots from prior surface geophysical...

Following an evaluation of existing subsurface data, 9 vertical percussion holes totalling 670 m were drilled to test discrete gravity anomalies in the Mount Woods area, in a search for Olympic Dam type mineralisation. The holes encountered...

TARGET: Metamorphic and hypogene iron ore, and latterly, epigenetic base metals, associated with pronounced local magnetic anomalies in the Mount Woods area. EXPLORATION: Reconnaissance geological mapping and sampling of the Mount Woods ?Archaean...

An investigation of several well-defined and relatively high intensity aeromagnetic anomalies (up to 20,000 gammas), disclosed by an Aero Services Corp. 1962 regional survey conducted partly in the vicinity of Mount Woods, was undertaken in a search...

SML 376 covers an old copper mining district located 10-15 miles east of Hawker in the central Flinders Ranges, which contains many small workings of low grade copper mineralisation developed in the core of a diapir-like structure known as the Worumba...

In a search for possible concealed stratiform base metal deposits associated with haematitic jaspilites and quartzites in the Cleve Uplands area, extensive rock chip, float and residual soil sampling traverses were followed by geochemical sampling of...

A substantial part of the central and southern Adelaide Hills, in the vicinity of the margins of Archaean basement inliers, was taken up by a Tennant Creek (NT) - based gold mining company to explore for possible buried economic gold and base metal...
