To guide a search for diamonds in the vicinity of Jamestown, structural loci for possible kimberlite targets were defined by lineament analysis. Ground magnetics and radiometrics, done as follow-up to stream sediment and soil sampling undertaken over...

TARGET: Uranium and base metal deposits associated with Early to Middle Proterozoic basement geological structures and rock units in Spencer Gulf coastal areas east and south of Port Broughton. EXPLORATION: Aerial magnetic and radiometric surveys,...

Known, previously worked anomalous surface copper, lead, zinc and gold occurrences within gossanous basal Burra Group metasediments located on the flanks of the overturned Ulooloo Anticline, have been investigated with 1:2500 scale geological mapping,...

Base metal exploration carried out over an area extending from 8 to 20 km north-northeast of Olary has consisted of a in-depth technical review of past exploration results, plus limited 1:10,000 scale geological mapping, bulk sampling of...

Continuing investigation of the stratabound copper and manganese potential of the Granville district consisted of stream sediment sampling, ground magnetic traverses over an atypically aligned aeromagnetic anomaly, and shallow percussion drilling of...

Renewed base metal exploration over part of the historic Yudnamutana Mining Field has targeted base metal anomalies previously found by Australian Selection in the Blue mine area. An area of about 80 square miles was assessed by reconnaissance stream...

16 previously identified aeromagnetic anomalies in the vicinity of Gladstone and Booleroo Centre were investigated for their diamond and base metal source potential. Rock chip, loam and stream sediment sampling failed to reveal geochemical anomalies...

Exploration for possible Olympic Dam type mineralisation in an area located 20 km south-west of William Creek has consisted of grid-based ground gravity and magnetic surveys followed by the drilling of a deep diamond exploratory / stratigraphic hole...

Exploration for possible economic Olympic Dam - type epithermal/hydrothermal or Zambian Copperbelt - type stratabound/replacement base metal deposits, in an area located approximately 40 km south-east of Yunta, focussed on magnetic anomalies and...

An area of 1.2 square km surrounding the Big Lode mine historic copper workings was reserved for 18 months under tenure of seven Mining Claims, to allow for the detailed geological mapping of rock structures possibly controlling observed secondary...

In an area of strongly folded, sericitised and silicified lower Adelaidean sedimentary rocks located km north-east of Terowie, an initial four areas of base metal geochemical anomalism were identified on prior EL 158 by surface sampling and geological...

An area surrounding the Emeroo Range, and extending from the vicinity of Port Augusta to 30 km west of Hawker, was explored by Utah for possible economic stratabound base metal deposits which it was thought could be associated with certain favourable...

Continuing exploration of the basal Neoproterozoic sedimentary sequence in the north-eastern Flinders Ranges for possible economic stratiform/stratabound Kapunda or Blinman - type copper mineralisation has concentrated on detailed 1:1200 and 1:4800...

At the Paratoo mine, copper is present in a zone at least 1000 feet wide, possibly over a strike length of about 1350 feet. It is not yet known over what proportion of this area copper occurs in workable amounts. Opencuts have exposed two main lines...

Burra, discovered in 1845, was Australia's first great mine, and at the time was one of the largest and richest in the world, producing nearly 5% of the total world output of copper. Today the mine is still famous for the beautiful specimens of...

The extremely thick succession provides one of the most complete sedimentary records for the Late Proterozoic. The term geosyncline is used in a non-genetic sense for the basin in which deposition occurred during the Adelaidean and Cambrian. Only the...
