An area of high country in the far northern Mount Lofty Ranges was taken under licence to try to find the primary source(s) of widely dispersed detrital gold known from Recent and Tertiary cover sediments in the region, while focussing mainly on...

Within a small licence area centred about 15 km south-south-east of Burra township in the northern Mount Lofty Ranges, Copper Range initially targeted near-surface copper oxide mineralisation associated with an altered and brecciated contact zone...

Phoenix Copper has been exploring several tenement blocks located on western Yorke Peninsula, the prime objective being to discover an economic iron oxide - associated copper-gold-uranium (IOCGU) deposit that may have formed in buried Proterozoic...

The subject licence, located approximately 60 km south-east of Leigh Creek, forms part of a much larger tenement package currently being explored by Perilya, primarily looking for zinc silicate mineralisation similar to the Beltana deposit, although...

A licence area centred about 100 km north-east of Streaky Bay township, on the south-western perimeter of the Gawler Ranges, was taken up to explore for possible economic buried IOCG mineralisation or Tunkillia stye fracture controlled lode gold...

A small area centred ~18 km west-northwest of Burra has been explored for possible buried primary porphyry type copper-gold mineralisation, and also for small scale secondary copper carbonate deposits of Burra style. Reprocessing of existing...

As part of a renewed search for possible buried economic volcanogenic or epigenetic stratiform copper oxide or copper carbonate deposits, thought to be associated with poorly exposed fault structures and related hydrothermal alteration of Adelaidean...

A soil-sampling program conducted on the public reserve adjacent to Dawesley Creek in the township of Brukunga was designed to determine the likely hazard of heavy metal contamination in the reserve. The reserve is on a site containing a small amount...

Percussion drilling (17 inclined or vertical holes totalling 1287 m) and resistivity surveys were undertaken by Seltrust Mining over an area lying immediately to the north-northwest of Burra, in a search for possible structurally controlled copper...

Exploration for possible mesothermal Cu-Au mineralisation was undertaken over the Padthaway Ridge between Coonalpyn and Tintinara, in an area of promising northwest-trending aeromagnetic fabric. Reconnaissance calcrete and soil geochemical sampling...

Aircore drilling of gold and base metal targets (23 holes, total 1136 m) was undertaken following lag, rock chip and leach sampling and a review of previous aeromagnetic and drillhole data from three separate areas, 40 km west and 50 km north-west and...

The proposed treatment of willemite ore at Port Pirie by E-Z would entail a slag fuming type operation to produce raw zinc oxide fume containing an appreciable percentage of lead. This lead rich fume would be deleaded in a rotary kiln and the...

Initial investigations undertaken in the Garford area, 170 km north-west of Tarcoola, comprised lag and soil geochemical sampling, ground magnetic surveying, and petrographic descriptions of outcrop samples. Follow-up aircore and RAB drilling (78...

Lag/laterite geochemical sampling carried out 20 km west of Port Lincoln identified certain areas that are anomalous in As. However, no anomalous drillcore assay results were returned from follow-up aircore drilling (5 holes, total 281 m) of a...

An area spanning the western margin of Lake Gilles, 50 km north-east of Kimba, was investigated for possible stratiform, shear-hosted, skarn-related and Olympic Dam - style mineralisation. Initial regional calcrete geochemical sampling returned...

Ongoing exploration of abandoned historic mine workings and the surrounding area at the Mountain of Light prospect, located approximately 2 miles east of Copley, was aimed at delineating an economic copper oxide/carbonate - mineralised orebody and any...

Exploration for possible concealed, mesothermal, structurally-controlled Cu-Au deposits within an area located between Calca and Wirrulla on Eyre Peninsula comprised calcrete geochemical sampling, ground magnetic surveying and RC/aircore drilling of...

Investigation of the Telfer type stratabound, vein-style gold and base metal potential of shallow alluvial sediment-covered areas near known historic mines in the Manna Hill region included work on several prospects contained within ground now being...

During the late 1990s, company exploratory drilling of the Harris Greenstone Belt in the central Gawler Craton, south of Tarcoola, revealed a package of previously unknown, shallowly buried komatiite lava beds with a strike length in excess of 350 km...
