Diamond and gold exploration undertaken on the two relinquished ground portions located north-west and east of Venus Bay on Eyre Peninsula, which total 530 square km in area, have comprised heavy mineral sampling, heavy mineral grain microprobing,...

Exploration over the licence area was severely restricted due to its being located entirely within the Yellabinna Regional Reserve, and because of unresolved Native Title claims. Initially, acquisition of a detailed aeromagnetic survey, comprising...

No work - licence held only as buffer acreage to adjoining EL 2478 Point Lowly.

Four styles of mineralisation formed the basis for exploration in the Paney-Buckleboo area, namely, stratiform sedex (Broken Hill style), shear-hosted epigenetic gold and base metals (Tunkillia style), skarn-related gold and base metals (Menninnie Dam...

Ernest Henry / Olympic Dam style Cu-Au mineralisation hosted by Mesoproterozoic Gawler Range Volcanics and Hiltaba Suite granites was the target of exploration in an area situated immediately south of Lake Everard. Regional calcrete, soil, rock chip...

Exploration within the Cultana Army Training Area, which is located to the west of Spencer Gulf just south of Port Augusta, targeted possible Proterozoic metasediment - hosted Cu-Au-U-REE mineralisation associated with the Hiltaba age Cultana Granite....

Ground magnetic surveys were carried out 100 km west - northwest of Ceduna, over an area of masking Tertiary and Cainozoic cover underlain by a basement of Mulgathing Complex and syntectonic Lincoln Complex and Hiltaba Suite granitoids, to recover...

Exploration for Olympic Dam type Cu-Au in the Myall Creek area, located 15-50 km north of Whyalla, comprised surface geological mapping and orientation calcrete geochemical sampling, together with the re-logging, petrographic examination and...

Calcrete sampling done approximately 30 km north of Streaky Bay returned a number of weakly anomalous Au values, one of which (16 ppb) coincided with an 82 ppb value obtained previously by Carpentaria Exploration Co. from analyses of RC cuttings...

A review of existing geophysical data was carried out over an area west of and extending for 90 km south of Woomera. Further aerial magnetic surveys are seen as necessary to define areas of thin Pandurra Formation and younger cover, and to locate...

Groundwater sampling, aeromagnetic interpretation, shallow auger sampling and isotope studies were carried out over an area 30 km northeast of Elliston. Heavy mineral concentrates from composite auger samples contained zircon, galena and sphalerite,...

Exploration targets were gold and base metals in Adelaidean and basement rocks, 20 km southwest of Mount Gunson. Regional and infill calcrete sampling did not reveal any areas worthy of follow up, and geophysical interpretation indicated depths to...

The area lying immediately south of lakes Gairdner and Harris was considered prospective for concealed Olympic Dam style Cu-Au mineralisation hosted in Archaean to Mesoproterozoic basement rocks of the Gawler Craton. Acquisition of a regional 1 km x...

Calcrete geochemical sampling conducted on the eastern and western sides of Lake Harris, 30 km south-west of Kingoonya, returned a number of low order anomalies peaking at 9 ppb Au. Two of three RAB holes (total 100 m) that were drilled south of...

Exploration for possible Proterozoic intrusive-hosted Cu-Au deposits in an area 60 km north-west of Tarcoola included regolith landform mapping and regional calcrete sampling. No significant anomalies were identified within the relinquished area.

No new work - performed field reconnaissance only.

Evaluation of SAEI aeromagnetic data for an area south-east of Ceduna, and surface calcrete sampling on a 1 km regional grid for anomalous Au-Cu-Ni, in a search for buried Ernest Henry / Olympic Dam style Cu-Au mineralisation, identified an area of...

An aeromagnetic survey was followed by soil and calcrete sampling in the Poochera - Wirulla area, over possible southerly extensions to the Yarlbrinda Shear Zone. Only slightly elevated Au and Cu values were returned, and follow-up sampling in one...

Reconnaissance for commercially viable granite dimension stone, over an area located north-east of Minnipa, indicated that the outcrops had a marked variability in deleterious properties, particularly fracturing. Direct core sampling of the granite...

Gold and base metal mineralisation hosted by Archaean gneisses of the Mulgathing Complex and Proterozoic Hiltaba Suite granites was the target of exploration in an area 100 km west of Tarcoola. Regional calcrete sampling on a nominal 1 km grid...
