The north-south trending Benagerie Ridge, lying within the South Australian portion of the Curnamona Province 120-160 km to the west-northwest of Broken Hill, contains a number of magnetic complexes, some of which can be interpreted as domal...

The former premier of South Australia, Sir Thomas Playford, made it his habit to inspect operations of ongoing mineral exploration once a year, during Parliament recession. In 1960 he indicated that he wished to inspect the Department of Mines?...

This paper introduces a formal lithostratigraphic scheme for major subdivisions of the Olary Domain, and compares these subdivisions to those of the Broken Hill Domain, these two domains being the main components of the Curnamona Province. The scheme...

Under a joint venture agreement made between North Flinders Mines and Dampier Mining Co. (a BHP Exploration subsidiary), operative over the 7 square mile SML 705 between 14/9/1973 and 14/3/1974, at least 3500 feet of additional appraisal diamond...

New work undertaken on an area located near Manunda Homestead during the current licence period has been restricted by the need to try to attract a joint venture partner, efforts towards which have proved unsuccessful. A geological inspection of the...

Detailed mapping at 1:3600 scale of a small study area near the centre of the licence, and located about 10 miles north-west of Radium Hill, indicates that most mineralisation is concentrated in the post-Proterozoic sequence, and appears largely to be...

Aquitaine Australia Minerals Pty Ltd (Aquitaine) entered into a joint venture with North Flinders Mines on 21 August 1975, over an area defined by Exploration Licence 272 (ex EL 153). The area included two main prospective zones for copper deposits:...

As part of continuing exploration for possible economic buried stratiform / hydrothermal copper mineralisation in the Yudnamutana Mining Field, the target lower Callanna Group strata were geologically mapped, petrologically studied and geochemically...

A reassessment of Marathon Petroleum's 1979 regional stream sediment sampling programme led to the decision to resample a number of areas within EL 871. The Mt Neill and Mt Fitton areas were chosen, as a result of possible similarities with the...

A computerised lineament analysis of Landsat digital image data covering the northern portion of the Flinders Ranges has shown a strong correlation between the known mineralisation and fracture structuring peripheral to granites, suggesting that...

Uranium mineralisation was first discovered at the old Shamrock Copper Mine during a systematic search of old mine dumps by the South Australian Department of Mines in 1955. Follow-up investigations located a small high-grade uranium lode (Valley...

Ongoing base metal exploration in the Arkaroola Station region of the north-eastern Flinders Ranges by licensee North Flinders Mines (NFM) has involved reviews of certain existing prospects, which has led to the entry of farminee Shell Minerals...

This report summarises the relevant results of previous copper exploration in the Yudnamutana Hill area by Utah Exploration Co. and Australian Aquitaine Petroleum Pty Ltd, and suggests an ongoing exploration programme for stratiform copper. It also...

The southern portion of the Mount Painter Province held under ELs 871 and 1049 contains Adelaidean sediments of the Upper Callanna Beds and Burra Group overlying the Carpentarian Mount Painter Complex. Reconnaissance work by Marathon Petroleum during...

Exploration of an area located approximately 10 miles north of Manna Hill, seeking possible economic Zambian Copperbelt style stratabound copper deposits, has consisted only of an orientation geochemical survey followed by field inspection of...

As part of a regional search for economic small-scale deposits of rare earth metals in the Mount Painter district, geochemical prospecting revealed several atypically high background niobium values, in stream sediments derived from watercourses known...

Diamond drill-hole NFK1 was drilled to a total depth of 289.56 metres at the Old Noll prospect in November - December 1972, with the aim of intersecting the buried source of mineralization that has given rise to the boxwork structures outcropping...

Surface copper carbonate mineralization occurring along a presumed shear zone was initially discovered some 4 miles southwest of the Parabarana Cu prospect by North Flinders Mines in late 1971, during a programme of detailed geochemical stream...
