An area of outcropping magnesite-bearing metasediments extending from 10 km west of to 55 km north-west of Leigh Creek township is being explored to re-assess its commercial potential for magnesia and magnesium metal production, following other...

The Bibliando Dome area was explored for Olympic Dam style Cu-Au mineralisation in the basement and porphyry copper style mineralisation in the Adelaidean cover sequence. Initial work included rock chip sampling and extensive stream sediment...

An area centred about 30 km south-east of Burra has been explored for possible buried economic Burra style copper mineralisation and for Mongolata Goldfield type alluvial and reef gold. The host metasedimentary unit to the Monster mine, the...

Exploration for possible economic stratabound copper mineralisation, carried out by Shell Minerals Exploration (Australia) over part of SML 575/703 near Arkaroola in the northern Flinders Ranges under an informal joint venture agreement with the...

Exploration for magnesite in the Myrtle Springs - Copley region was confined to sampling (167 samples, both of outcrop and crushed ore) and analysing 30 known magnesite occurrences held under mining lease, to determine the distribution of silica...

Base metal and gold exploration undertaken over a lengthy period since 1980 in the Yudnamutana Hill area, 20 km north-west of Arkaroola, has comprised detailed geological mapping of major basement and cover stratigraphic units and known mineral...

A sequence of exploration programs in the Mount Painter Province, undertaken on Special Mining Leases since 1965, have been previously released. Exploration for base metals since 1974, in an area extending 20 km southwest from Arkaroola, comprised a...

Base metal exploration carried out 70 km west and south-west of Marree, to investigate the potential for Olympic Dam - type mineralisation in concealed pre-Adelaidean rocks, has included geochemical rock chip and water sampling, an aerial radiometric...

Possible intrusive Proterozoic salt bodies beneath the Blinman, Upalinna, Martins Well, Mt Hemming, Willippa and Bibliando Domes were investigated by field mapping, including the construction of measured outcrop stratigraphic sections, seismic...

Exploration carried out near Mount Anna Dam, 100 kilometres south-east of Oodnadatta, comprised a ground magnetic survey and soil geochemical sampling over a stratiform aeromagnetic feature seen within the Skillogalee Dolomite. No significant base or...

Exploration conducted over an area of the western Adelaide Fold Belt centred about 15 km east of Port Germein was designed to appraise the subsurface gold and copper potential of a possibly economically mineralised diapir or diatreme present in the...

A north-south trending, high angle fault structure associated with mineralisation at the historic Burra Mine was considered by Redfire Resources to be prospective along strike as a host for further economic copper mineralisation of similar...

EL 5520 is being explored as part of a regional search for possible economic Beltana-style zinc silicate hydrothermal replacement mineralisation hosted by brecciated Cambrian or Neoproterozoic bedrock carbonates. No field work was completed by licence...

Copper Range is exploring for copper and other economic stratabound / epigenetic base metals within the Kapunda - Burra copper mineralised structural corridor. The company holds a significant portfolio of exploration licences in the region, which are...

The Burra mine 3D model was constructed using a georeferenced version of the original hand-drafted base map, which included elevation data points surveyed during the final phase of mining. These elevation locations and associated height data were...

Exploration for possible economic manganese mineralisation of the stratabound type previously found at Ketchowla Hill near Burra, undertaken within a small area located 12 km north-east of Yadlamalka Homestead, has consisted only of a limited field...

Rock chip sampling carried out over magnetic targets located approximately 35 km east of Hawker identified anomalous Cu, and minor Zn and Ni. No significant base metal anomalism was detected from stream sediment sampling, and only one anomalous gold...

A 47.4 square km area, representing about 37% of EL 4358, has been relinquished due to the inferred significant cover there of Quaternary alluvial and aeolian overburden. No field work was conducted on this area as part of a regional search for...

An small area located immediately north-east of Paratoo township has been explored for possible buried Burra mine type epithermal/hydrothermal copper mineralisation, as well as for gold and rare earth metals which may have accumulated in proximity to...

During 2007-2008, the first year of the diamond exploration joint venture with the Filsell brothers in the Paratoo area, Flinders Mines' activities comprised: • acquiring part of a detailed helicopter-borne infill aerial magnetic ('helimag') survey,...
