This report book contains SHRIMP zircon U-Pb geochronological data obtained in May 2010 from the Curnamona Province, for three igneous rock samples derived from the Benagerie Ridge region and one metasedimentary rock sample taken from the Mingary...

Former sheep station ‘Bimbowrie’, situated in the Olary Ranges, South Australia, was purchased by the South Australian Government as a conservation park in 2004. It has had a long history of mining, mineral exploration and geoscientific investigation....

The Curnamona Province is the southern remnant of the Palaeoproterozoic Pb-Zn belt, and represents but a small fragment of the original superbasin. Geological data supports the idea of the basin being a rift, with sediments in the Broken Hill Domain...

This short field trip was designed to provide an overview of rocks of different ages in the greater Broken Hill area, as part of the Uncover Curnamona technical sessions held at the Broken Hill Resources Symposium 2015. It was run on Thursday 28 May...

Uranium has been the mainstay of mineral exploration and mining in the Curnamona Province of South Australia since the early prospecting activity at Radium Hill in 1906 and Mount Painter in 1910. Larger scale mining and exploration began after the...

Geological mapping of the Mingary 1:100 000 map area was completed in 2006 as part of the Broken Hill Exploration Initiative (BHEI). The mapping project began in 1995, and concentrated on the mapping of lithologies using a slightly modified version of...

Reconnaissance geological mapping and limited surface geochemical sampling of exposed, thrust faulted quartz-carbonate veins evident in the Adelaidean cover sequence to the western Olary Domain Palaeoproterozoic basement did not generate any gold or...

Interpretation of sets of airborne magnetic / radiometric survey data acquired over Proterozoic metasedimentary and granitoid basement terrain in the Kalabity area identified three discrete radiometric anomalies, one of which was traced by rock chip...

Exploration of an area on the eastern flank of the Benagerie Ridge, 100 km north of Mingary, targeted stratiform Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation associated with metasediments of the Bimba Formation, an interpreted lateral equivalent of the Broken Hill Group....

Exploration for Cloncurry or Olympic Dam type Cu-Au-U and for Broken Hill-style Zn-Pb-Ag deposits in the Telechie Dam area, north-west of Olary, comprised a review of previous company work, the acquisition of open file airborne magnetic survey data,...

Ground magnetic, EM and IP surveys were carried out in an area of interpreted anomalous aeromagnetic features located 20 km north of Mingary, targeting Cloncurry style, granitic basement-related Au-Cu in Willyama Group metasedimentary rocks. A 119 m...

Conventional soil geochemistry, carried out as a trial along traverse lines laid out over two 1-2 mGal gravity anomalies occurring in the area 30 km south-west from Cockburn, returned just a single modest strength, coincident Pb-Zn anomaly which was...

Copper-gold systems of the Curnamona Province show many of the characteristics of major Cu-Au Fe-oxide systems in other Proterozoic terranes. Large and economic Cu-Au deposits, however, have remained elusive in the province, despite discoveries in...

In a search for possible economic base metal, copper-gold or uranium deposits hosted by Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks in an area located immediately north-west of Olary, some initial limited rock chip and soil sampling carried out over selected...

During 2013, the tenth year of the Curnamona Project, field activities were conducted by MMG on ELs 4225, 4259, 4313, 4441, 4691, 4782 and 4940. Four ground gravity surveys were acquired on parts of six licences. In total 7519 new stations were read...

Exploration for possible economic epithermal/hydrothermal vein style uranium and base metal deposits within an area lying 40 km north of Olary primarily aimed to find uranium mineralisation associated with Crocker Well - type granitoid bodies and/or...

PepinNini is exploring the subject EL 3278 for all potential mineralisation styles known to occur in Palaeoproterozoic basement metasediments, but the company considers that the most prospective opportunities include stratabound Cu-Au akin to the...
