Regional geological mapping of the area was initiated in 1959 and was completed in 1964. All tracks in the area were traversed and detailed mapping confined to critical localities and to areas where this was considered desirable. Geological boundaries...

Refraction and experimental reflection seismic shooting was undertaken in EL 190 on Roxby Downs Station during May 1975, along 3 lines totalling 13.2 line km. The aim was to map Cambrian and Precambrian sedimentary horizons using methods generally...

The area embraced by the Andamooka and Torrens 4-mile geological sheets is defined by long 136° 30- long 138° 00 and lat 30° 00- lat 32° 00 and comprises an extensive partially dissected plateau west of Lake Torrens, the Lake Torrens sunkland and part...

Titan prospect is located within Exploration Licence 3209, and lies 30 km north of the Olympic Dam mine. The prospect was first drilled by Western Mining Corp. in 1976 with diamond drillhole BD 1, and in 1981 with a second hole, BD 2. Both holes hit...

Within a large area lying a short distance to the north and north-west of Andamooka, licensee Tasman Resources is targeting hydrothermal precious metal mineralisation that may have formed within the Neoproterozoic Wilpena Group, because the company's...

Only minimal work has been conducted on the small area comprising all of the now surrendered remaining part of EL 5366, which is centred 20 km north-northeast of Roxby Downs township. That work began with Tasman Resources' generation of a conceptual...

As a B.Sc. Honours project with the Geology Department of the University of Adelaide, which was sponsored by the South Australian Department of Mines and Energy, the author during 1978 carried out geological mapping of a nearly 400 square km area...

Gravity and targeted mobile metal ion (MMI) soil geochemical surveys were carried out north-east of Olympic Dam, adjacent to WMC's tenements, to explore for Olympic Dam style mineralisation in Middle Proterozoic basement rocks at depth below the...

Ground magnetic and regional infill and detailed gravity surveys, plus Maxi-Probe ground EM soundings, were carried out on two grids laid out near Beddome Hill, which lies 35 km west of Roxby Downs Homestead, to investigate a 4-6 mGal regional gravity...

Exploration for possible commercial accumulations of sedimentary shallow marine phosphorite ore in the Ediacara 'Sub-basin', 26 km west of Beltana, has consisted of a search within the Early Cambrian strata for any sites or layers of phosphate...

As part of a regional search for possible buried Olympic Dam type base metal mineralisation, one vertical percussion hole was drilled to 200 m total depth at a site located 9.5 km NNW of Parakylia Homestead, principally to gather stratigraphic...

EL 3428, located 17 km south-west of the Olympic Dam deposit and 5 km south of the Acropolis prospect, was taken up by Uranium Exploration Australia (UXA) primarily to explore for copper-uranium-gold-silver-rare earth element (Cu-Au-U-REE+/-Ag)...

The reports comprising this data release package describe exploration for economic deposits of base and precious metals that have possibly formed within Neoproterozoic metasediments, the underlying Palaeoproterozoic basement, and in Cambrian carbonate...

Exploration for possible economic basement-hosted Roxby Downs style base metal sulphide deposits was undertaken in an area located approximately 90 km north-west of Woomera. Existing regional geophysical airborne survey coverage was too sparse to...

The phosphate potential of the Cambrian Andamooka Limestone, inferred to outcrop on the plain near the lake shoreline just to the north-east of Lake Torrens, was investigated by geological photointerpretation and ground reconnaissance. Due to poor...

Exploration within SML 129 formed part of a larger project aimed at delineating potentially mineralised areas of outcropping or covered Lower Cambrian carbonate rocks. Initial regional geochemical and geological exploration was completed over a much...

Areas around Woomera and extending to the north, to around 30 km west of Olympic Dam, were explored for concealed base metal deposits of Olympic Dam - type. Trace stratabound lead and zinc mineralisation (sphalerite and galena - few thousand ppm) had...
