An area originally consisting of three separate small sub-blocks which are generally centred ~15 km north-northeast of Ceduna has been explored for possible buried economic Tertiary heavy mineral sands (HM) marine placer deposits. The main intent was...

An area centred ~270 km west of Tarcoola and 25 km south of Maralinga, and lying on Maralinga Tjarutja Aboriginal Land immediately north of the Trans Australia Railway line, was taken up to explore for any large heavy mineral sand placer deposits that...

Six of the 31 heavy mineral sands (HM) exploration licences that were originally granted to Iluka Resources (Iluka) in September 2009 (which then were designated as Iluka's tenement Group 4) have recently been fully surrendered, because they are now...

Exploration of an onshore area located in the vicinity of Watraba aimed to discover beach or shallow marine placer concentrations of zircon-rich heavy mineral sands, possibly formed within significant thicknesses of prospective Upper Tertiary Ooldea...

Three entire exploration licence areas centred approximately 150 km north of Maralinga have been surrendered by Iluka Resources because they are now deemed unprospective for heavy mineral marine placer deposits. These areas lie on the interpreted...

Ground in the Eucla Basin which borders the south-western margin of the Gawler Ranges basement uplift has been explored for possible economic marine placer heavy mineral sands deposits. Work was focussed on evaluating any Tertiary shoreline sediment...

An area centred ~185 km west of Tarcoola, and lying immediately south of the Trans Australia Railway line, was taken up to explore for possible economic buried IOCG type mineralisation hosted by buried basement rocks of the western Gawler Craton, as...

Through the financial assistance of PIRSA's PACE Initiative, Iluka Resources was able to undertake exploratory drilling activities looking for heavy mineral (HM) sands marine placer deposits in the eastern Eucla Basin, as part of the Year 4 subsidy...

The trigger event causing this data release to be made is that three portions of licence ground that together cover ~289 square km or 19.5% of the former area of EL 4217 Barton East have now been relinquished, as of 11/1/2011. No corresponding partial...

Through the financial assistance of PIRSA's PACE Initiative, Iluka Resources has undertaken exploratory drilling activities on its Maralinga area ELs 4330, 4333, 4334, 4337 and 4338 in the eastern Eucla Basin, as approved Year 6 programme DPY6-61....

The heavy mineral sand potential of an area located immediately south-east of Ceduna has been assessed by planning traverses of shallow (20-50 m deep) aircore drillholes across fossil Tertiary marine marginal strandlines likely to contain reworked...

On the NE margin of the Nullarbor Plain in western SA are preserved coastal dunes, dune ridges and possible beach ridges. The longest is the Ooldea Range, a 650 km long coastal dune that lies 25-300 km from the present coast. These coastal aeolian...

Shallow Precambrian crystalline basement underlies the greater part of the BARTON 1:250 000 map area. Thicker Neoproterozoic, Cambrian and Carboniferous Permian sediments occur in the northwest, with the southern margin bounded by the Karari Fault...

The OOLDEA 1:250 000 map area, in the far west of SA, includes portions of the Maralinga Tjarutja Aboriginal Lands, Maralinga Prohibited Area, and Nullarbor Regional Reserve. It is traversed by the Trans-Australian Railway. There is no significant...

A 25% north-western portion of EL 5045, which is centred appproximately 200 km north of Cook, has been relinquished due to perceived diminished prospectivity for Tertiary marginal marine heavy mineral sands. A review of available technical literature...

An area that was centred ~180 km north-northwest of Cook Siding on the Trans Australia Railway has been explored for economic buried Tertiary heavy mineral sands (HM) marine strandline or sandbar placer deposits by Iluka Resources. It covered cover...

27 contiguous licence areas within the eastern Eucla Basin, that span a combined 21,772 square km of ground between points as far as 90 km north of the Trans Australian Railway, 50 km east of Nullarbor and extending right down to the coastline, and...

Exploration of two adjacent very remote desert areas located 200 to 220 km north of Cook has targeted possible buried heavy mineral sands marine placer accumulations that may have formed along an arcuate DEM feature interpreted as a Tertiary shoreline...

Four exploration licences distributed along the northern and north-eastern edges of Iluka's Group 4 of jointly reported tenements have been fully surrendered, after work performed there recently suggested that their perceived prospectivity for...

A group of exploration licences located on the northern margin of the Eucla Basin, and situated north of the Trans Australian Railway, which cover ground extending into the Eocene to Miocene marginal marine depositional hinterland behind the Barton...
