Interest in an area near Mount Christie Siding was stimulated by the 1993 MESA Barton Bedrock Drilling Programme, which detected anomalous gold, chromium, base metals and platinoid metals in subsurface layered ultramafics. A number of targets...

EL 2674 followed on from EL 2015, for which all data have been released to Open File in Envelope 8686. The subject EL area, which is peripheral to the Muckanippie Anorthosite Complex and was being explored under terms of a joint venture agreement now...

An area located 35 km south-east of Tarcoola was targeted for gold because of interpreted aeromagnetic data, which suggested the presence of discrete Archaean iron formations and mafic rocks within the more widely distributed Kenella Gneiss, a rock...

Exploration for Archaean lode-style gold and Hiltaba Suite granite-related hydrothermal Cu-Au in two licence sub-areas near Tarcoola targeted Archaean greenstone lithologies interpreted from aeromagnetic data, Mesoproterozoic intrusive-associated...

Buried Archaean Mulgathing Complex rocks, comprising metamafics, ultramafics, granites, mafic gneisses and possible greenstones, were the target host for gold, copper and nickel mineralisation in the Mount Finke - Malbooma area, south-west from...

An area centred 60 km north-west of Tarcoola was selected for its association of Archaean Mulgathing Gneiss Complex rocks, Proterozoic Kimban age and Hiltaba Suite intrusives, Gawler Range Volcanics, and structural and geochemical signatures....

Previous drilling in 2005, undertaken as part of another PACE project, DPY2-52, discovered significant occurrences of heavy mineral sands within an area of 15 km x 5 km in the southern part of EL 3092 (the Notrab prospect). These sands were...

21 gold exploration targets with anomalous regolith Au > 10 ppb were generated by extensive regional and infill calcrete sampling of an area 80 km south-west of Coober Pedy. Aircore, RAB and RC drilling at four of these prospects (269 holes, total...

Archaean to Proterozoic ultramafic igneous intrusions and granite masses associated with the Yarlbrinda Shear Zone, which are interpreted as being potential hosts for gold, nickel, chromium and platinum group elements, were the targets of exploration...

Exploration of the Tarcoola Gold Field by Aberfoyle Resources began in mid-1984, following a partial relinquishment of other ground at licence renewal, when some promising gold assay values were detected from rock and mine dump sampling. Geological...

In 1978 exploratory rotary drilling (11 holes, total 629 m) for inferred sediment-hosted roll-front uranium orebodies buried beneath salt lake topographic depressions east of Tarcoola intersected low levels of uranium (max 14 ppm) at fresh water /...

A joint MIM - MESA gravity survey run approximately 10 km north of Coober Pedy revealed a number of anomalies, one of which was coincident with a magnetic high. A proposed drilling program to explore for a Voiseys Bay (Canada) style nickeliferous...

A small area of prospective Gawler Craton Proterozoic basement located in the vicinity of Hawks Nest Bore, which lies 160 km north-west of the Prominent Hill copper-gold discovery, was investigated to find the cause of one of a pair of intense...

No field work was performed on the three subject licences during the period 2008-2010 inclusive. During 2010, Dominion Gold Operations undertook a desktop evaluation of the possible iron ore potential of the licences. During 2011, the licensee...

Five separate areas located in the northern Gawler Craton adjacent to the Mount Woods Domain, which to date have received only minor attention from mineral explorers and so have had limited drilling done, have been explored for possible buried...

An area centred ~150 km west of Coober Pedy, that is located mostly north-west of and that also has a small part lying immediately south-east of the Karari Fault, a major crustal structure which has controlled deposition at the southern limit of the...

An area surrounding the township of Kingoonya and straddling the Trans Australia Railway line, that comprises six tenement sub-blocks,has been explored for possible economic occurrences of buried Tertiary roll-front style secondary uranium...

An area centred about 80 km south-west of Coober Pedy is being explored for possible economic buried coal seams in Permian strata and for economic iron ore deposits or massive sulphide base metal mineralisation (copper, nickel) that may have formed...

Four separate licence portions together covering an area of 221 square km or ~42% of the former extent of EL 4565 have been voluntarily relinquished. The perceived prospective Karari Fault Zone and other places which possibly contain buried...

A group of contiguous exploration licences centred ~100 km south-west of Coober Pedy are being explored principally for epithermal and Challenger-style gold mineralisation hosted by covered Archaean basement rocks, as well as for any economic base...
