Exploration for sedimentary uranium in Tertiary palaeochannels was carried out on four partly contiguous licences located immediately south and east of Lake Frome. Research of historic data, including an evaluation of the results from 309 existing...

A review of existing drillhole information from the area between Lake Frome and the NSW border targeted sedimentary uranium in Tertiary palaeochannels. 12 rotary holes totalling 1431 m were drilled in two interpreted palaeochannels, but returned no...

In a search for possible economic sedimentary uranium deposits that may have formed in the vicinity of Curnamona Station, two and possibly three Tertiary palaeochannels were located by 6 east-west lines of reconnaissance resistivity surveying, within...

A planned 48-hole stratigraphic/exploration shallow RC drilling programme on the surface of eastern Lake Torrens was aborted due to heavy rainfall before commencement making lake site access impossible. The intended drill targets were possible trona...

Three large but quite separate licence areas located at the southern end of the Frome Embayment have been explored together for possible economic buried sedimentary uranium mineralisation hosted by Tertiary palaeochannel sands of the Callabonna...

(continued) During the fourth year of project activity, a second, more intensive vertical rotary mud drilling and wireline geophysical well logging campaign was carried out on all three subject licences in order to further test AEM and gravity...

As part of a wider search over SA for possible continental salt lake occurrences of NaCO3-rich brines and of fossil crystalline trona beds, presumed to be equivalent to the Lake Magadi (Kenya) / Green River Basin (Utah - Wyoming) style Tertiary...

An area located approximately 40 km north-west of Olary is being explored for possible economic Tertiary palaeochannel-hosted sedimentary uranium mineralisation. Work undertaken within the now relinquished portion of EL 297 has comprised...

Southern Ventures reviewed data from previous drilling carried out by Chevron Exploration on EL 40 in 1972, before open rotary drilling 11 vertical holes (total penetration 1262 m) to follow up low grade uranium mineralisation and to trace possible...

As part of a regional search for possible economic sodium carbonate (trona) evaporite mineralisation formed within buried Miocene lacustrine sediments in an area located east of Lake Torrens, ground magnetic and gravity surveys were run along four...

As part of a regional search for buried Olympic Dam - type base metal deposits, Western Mining attempted to test an isolated but sharply defined aeromagnetic anomaly noted just to the east of the southern end of Lake Callabonna. After first acquiring...

Greenfields uranium exploration of Mesozoic and Cainozoic sediments was carried out over an interpreted synclinal feature on Murnpeowie Station, in an area located between the Mount Babbage Block and the Willouran Ranges. The target was possible...

Thirteen open holes were drilled for Tertiary uranium in the Frome Embayment. No significant anomalous radiometric response was intersected.

Further exploration of a radiometrically anomalous basinal area situated about 100 km east of Lake Frome, which is considered to be associated with the western flank of a sizeable Tertiary palaeochannel, has comprised open hole rotary drilling and...

A preliminary field geological examination of an area at Mount Harvey, located about 25 miles south-east of Oodnadatta, where a deposit of siliceous ?Tertiary claystone material occurs which it was hoped might be suitable for use as an absorbent, did...

All 5 holes (totalling 655 metres) penetrated Cretaceous basement at depths between 95 and 141 metres, overlain by Murnpeowie Formation. No significant features or anomalous radioactivity were detected.

Exploration for possible buried roll-front or sandstone type sedimentary uranium deposits was carried out over a broad area lying northeast of Lake Frome by a South African - French joint venture. A large reconnaissance open hole rotary drilling and...

In a search for economic sedimentary uranium deposits in an area located approximately 80 km south-east of Lake Frome, possible extensions to the NW-SE trending Yarramba Palaeochannel system running along the eastern side of the Benagerie Ridge...

Three holes totalling 305 metres were drilled. Two holes penetrated Cretaceous basement at 80-81 metres, overlain by Murnpeowie Formation. No significant features or anomalous radioactivity was detected.
