Calcrete sampling over aeromagnetic targets within the Fowler Shear Zone was undertaken, to locate evidence of possible Cu-Au mineralisation developed during emplacement of Hiltaba Suite granites south and south-west of Wynbring. Weakly anomalous Au...

A significant combined thickness of Late Proterozoic Pandurra Formation, Jurassic Algebuckina Sandstone and Cainozoic sediments overlies prospective Middle Proterozoic basement 70 km north of Tarcoola. Several gold anomalies were returned from...

Work undertaken to delineate metasedimentary iron ore resources within an area roughly 40 km north-west of Cowell was reported in an earlier release of data made on partial surrender of the licence (see open file Env 9794). No further work has been...

Exploration for Olympic Dam style copper-gold mineralisation in the Toondulya Bluff area, 100 km north-east of Streaky Bay, comprised compilation and interpretation of existing calcrete data, assaying of samples from earlier aircore drilling, and...

An area located 30 km west of Pimba, and situated on the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton, was considered to have potential for Olympic Dam style Cu-Au mineralisation, and possibly for stratabound Cu sulphide mineralisation as occurs at Mount...

Calcrete and stream sediment sampling plus a TEISA programme infill aeromagnetic survey were carried out over an area extending for 10-40 km to the north-west and north of Cowell. Anomalous Cu in calcrete was recorded in the vicinity of the Charleston...

Aeromagnetic infill surveying was carried out over part of the Yalata Intrusive Complex, which is characterised by exhibiting an intense gravity high, contains evidence of cumulate layering, and lies in proximity to interpreted ultramafic intrusives...

No significant gold or base metal anomalies emerged from regolith mapping and regional calcrete sampling 40 km north-west of Tarcoola.

Calcrete sampling on 1 km and 200 m grid spacings was carried out during 1996 (266 samples) and 1997 (2050 samples) over areas underlain by rocks of the Mulgathing Complex, Hiltaba Suite, Gairdner Dyke Swarm and Gawler Range Volcanics, that surround...

An area centred 60 km north-west of Cowell was considered prospective for iron mineralisation within banded iron formations of the Middleback Subgroup, and for skarn - type gold and base metals associated with Hutchison Group metasediments. Following...

The understanding of the tectonic evolution of the western Gawler Craton has been greatly enhanced by recent drilling in an area of poor basement exposure. Fifty-eight air-core holes (totalling 2140.5 m) were completed near Ceduna on the CHILDARA...

The main focus of a recently begun gold exploration programme on the Tarcoola Goldfield has been the Tarcoola Blocks mine, where gold occurs in subvertical quartz reefs, up to 2 m wide, which cross-cut folded Mid-Proterozoic sandstone and carbonaceous...

As part of ongoing gold exploration being conducted in an area located approximately 60 km south-west of Kingoonya, Helix Resources and its joint venture partner Minotaur Exploration sought and were granted PACE Initiative Year 2 funding to test the...

A small licence area located approximately 75 km north-west of Tarcoola was explored for possible economic Pt-Ni-Cu-Ti-Cr mineralisation formed in magnetic, layered mafic/ultramafic intrusive rocks, and for shear-related vein-type gold deposits in...

Mineral exploration recently undertaken within the now surrendered subject licence in the Streaky Bay district has successively addressed the potential for finding Prominent Hill - style Proterozoic IOCG deposits and Tertiary palaeochannel - hosted...

Exploration for possible buried Ernest Henry - Olympic Dam style Cu-Au mineralisation in the Nuckulla Hill area, 120 km north-east of Ceduna, involved undertaking the following listed activities having relevance to the now relinquished portion of the...

Half of EL 3100, comprising the north-eastern and southern parts of its original extent across the northern Gawler Ranges bordering the adjacent shores of Lakes Harris, Gairdner and Everard, has been relinquished by the licensee after an...

Petrophysical properties of rocks are an underutilised data set that is rarely routinely collected. With the recent advances in geophysical modelling there is now an increasing need to collect petrophysical data as a vital link between geophysical...

An area located 30 km south of Port Augusta and covering more than 792 square km east of the main highway between Port Augusta and Whyalla, which falls entirely within part of the Cultana Army Training Area held by the Australian Commonwealth...

Exploration for possible concealed, mesothermal, structurally-controlled Cu-Au deposits within an area located between Calca and Wirrulla on Eyre Peninsula comprised calcrete geochemical sampling, ground magnetic surveying and RC/aircore drilling of...
