Dataset contains Amdel - derived mineralogical and petrological data on the ore and host rocks, plus the mine operator's reports on its plans to resume and optimize production of the unique ore types known to exist in four current mine pits and their...

9 rock chip, mine dump, tailings, and hand auger alluvium samples were collected from abandoned gold workings. No significant assays were returned, and the area has limited potential for either bedrock or alluvial gold.

TARGET: Buried epithermal/hydrothermal gold and copper mineralisation in the Bendigo Station area, possibly associated with diapric intrusions. EXPLORATION: Reconnaissance geological traversing and rock chip (74) and stream sediment (23) geochemical...

An area centred ~50 km south-east of Manna Hill township on the Barrier Highway was taken up to explore for possible economic buried epithermal, VHMS style copper-gold or other base and precious metal mineralisation which could have formed within...

Diamond exploration undertaken in the Peake and Denison Ranges included the acquisition and processing of aerial magnetic, radiometric and heliborne magnetic and VLF-EM surveys, with follow-up ground magnetic and Sirotem surveys, plus extensive...

A regional lithostructural map was produced, covering an area of 8,500 square kms.

TARGET: Economic fine-grained, Telfer style gold mineralisation occurring as syngenetic stratabound deposits formed in sedimentary basins during or soon after periods of basin subsidence and instability. The eastern limb of the large, overturned...

Rotary percussion drilling (61 vertical holes totalling 2895 m), which was designed to try to delineate possible remnant oxidised copper ore reserves at the Paratoo copper mine, 20 km south-west of Yunta, has defined an Inferred mineral resource of...

Regional lithostructural geological map of all outcropping Middle Proterozoic rocks presented as 6 maps, scale 1:100000.

TARGET: Gold . as Telfer-style stratabound mineralisation at the contact between Tapley Hill Formation and Tarcowie Siltstone; . as mineralisation of large scale, placer type in the Appila Tillite and Wilyerpa Formation; and . as hydrothermally...

Copper and gold mineralisation associated with felsic, intermediate and mafic igneous intrusive rocks which have intruded Adelaidean and Cambrian metasediments in the Nackara Arc region has been the target of exploratory drilling conducted with the...

In the central Flinders Ranges, Neoproterozoic and early Palaeozoic rocks are found outcropping within a series of broad, open, dome and basin-shaped folds. This region contains most of the diapiric structures in the Adelaide Geosyncline, many, but...

A synopsis of the possible pre-tectonic structural setting and sequence of geological events which has resulted in the observed development of faulted domes and diapirs within Neoproterozoic sediments of the central Flinders Ranges, and the related...

A Frontier Exploration internal memorandum in which Professor Rudd expounds his interpretation of, and seeks discussion on, the apparently unique geological conditions which exist in the Central Flinders Zone and are related to the testing of the...

Report reviews the exploration potential of the three as yet still untested buried diapiric structures that have been worked up to prospect status by Frontier Petroleum, and are mooted for possible drilling by US-based recent PEL 41 farminee...

Since 1990 Frontier Exploration Ltd has explored in the Central Flinders Zone of the Adelaide Geosyncline in order to assess its hydrocarbon and mineral potential, and the relationship of diapirs to these resources. The basic concepts used have not...

During the remapping of the Willippa Anticline by Frontier Exploration Ltd a number of copper bearing gossans were located within the outcrop of Burra Group strata on the crest of the structure. The main gossan, which outcrops just to the north-west...

PEL 41 was granted to a deliberately SA-based new venture exploration company consisting of Chairman and well-known Emeritus Professor of Geology Eric Rudd, four other founding honorary and unsalaried directors, and 100 or so individual speculative...

In a search for possible concealed kimberlitic, carbonatitic or Cu-U-bearing igneous breccia intrusions within the Adelaidean fold belt succession, across a narrow north-south trending area west of Peterborough, 6 structurally disrupted localities...

To guide a search for diamonds in the vicinity of Jamestown, structural loci for possible kimberlite targets were defined by lineament analysis. Ground magnetics and radiometrics, done as follow-up to stream sediment and soil sampling undertaken over...
