The Parachilna 1:250 000 map area is about 250 road miles north of Adelaide, South Australia, and includes the eastern shore of Lake Torrens, the central Flinders Ranges and part of the Lake Frome Plains. The ranges are composed of folded Adelaidean...

Seven holes drilled to a maximum depth of 195 ft. (59 m) tested part of the Mt. John Paralana Fault zone for mercury. No anomalous concentrations of mercury were detected. Three holes tested the Parachilna Formation west of the Moro Mine. Anomalous...

Exploration for possible Mississippi Valley style stratabound lead-zinc deposits hosted by Lower Cambrian carbonates in the Angepena area, 70 km north-east of Blinman, comprised regional and detailed geological mapping, reconnaissance stream sediment...

A review of previous exploration data for the subject licence area, located 40 km north-west of Hawker, has focussed on zinc. Previous stream sediment sample assay results were digitised, and a structural review of the region (including other Copper...

Copper Range is exploring a number of the Springfield Project mineral tenements for base and precious metals under the terms of a joint venture agreement that it made with licensee Flinders Diamonds on 19/3/2007, whereby the latter retains all rights...

An area located approximately 40 km north-west of Hawker in the southern Flinders Ranges has been explored by Copper Range as part of a regional programme being conducted in the central Adelaide Geosyncline, which is targeting large alteration zones...

A portion of the central Flinders Ranges covering the Beltana Diapir and its surrounds has been taken up mainly to explore for possible economic buried hydrothermal replacement type or epigenetic stratabound base metal mineralisation, with magnesite...

The subject two relinquished portions of EL 4538 form part of a much larger tenement package currently being explored by Perilya, primarily looking for zinc silicate mineralisation similar to the Beltana deposit, although the northern Flinders Ranges...

No work was completed on the subject three tenements during the 2010 reporting period, because the JV's focus then was to explore areas closer to the Beltana mine. However, it was believed that several other high priority base metal - prospective...

Much of the eastern side of the very large, 5,745 square km saline playa Lake Torrens, which occupies one of the most arid parts of Australia, was taken under licence by a Northern Territory - based company with the intent of systematically sampling...

Early Cambrian marine sediments in the Arrowie Basin, South Australia, were deposited on a continental margin platform, and have been divided into five unconformity bounded depositional sequences and subsequences, ranging in age from basal Cambrian to...

Cambrian sediments in the Arrowie Basin were deposited on a rifted continental margin. Four distinct depositional regimes, ranging from a western, tectonically stable shelf, through platform-ramp to eastern slope and trough-synclines, can be...

The great majority of lower Palaeozoic rocks in the Stansbury, Arrowie and Warburton Basins are of Cambrian age, although a few Early Ordovician fossils have been reported from drillholes in the sub-surface Warburton Basin. The Cambrian is the only...

Exploration of an area located 55-70 km east-southeast of Leigh Creek, where it was hoped that undiscovered Mississippi Valley - type lead-zinc mineralisation might exist within slightly folded Lower Cambrian strata, has consisted of 1:25,000 scale...

The availability of rainwater, and possible harvesting techniques and storage media are investigated. Reasonable amounts of rainfall occur, but falls are interspersed by long droughts. There are problems with silting up of dams, and with protecting...

Examination of an historically worked occurrence of stratiform base metal mineralisation near Balcanoona in the central Flinders Ranges, 50 miles east of Copley, has involved intensive geochemical sampling of abandoned mine adits, old dumps,...

As part of a major programme in the Flinders Ranges aimed at locating economic base metal deposits, some semi-regional soil, stream sediment and rock chip sampling was undertaken in the Chace Range / Druid Range area. Stream sediment sampling gave a...

Evaluation of the base metal potential of minor historical copper workings within folded lower Cambrian strata, in an area located 25 km north of Quorn, failed to identify significant geochemical or geophysical evidence for shallowly buried...
