Exploration undertaken in the vicinity of Reaphook Hill addressed the potential of previously reported anomalous stream sediment zinc and manganese values found in the Wilkawillina Limestone at locations a few miles north of the hill, and also...

Exploration for possible stratabound or hydrothermal copper deposits in an area between Johnburg and Orroroo consisted of detailed 1:12,000 scale geological mapping and a stream sediment geochemical survey. This work failed to locate any copper of...

The Geological Survey of South Australia has recognised there is great potential to explore for critical metals in mine waste materials across the state forming part of a new supply chain. This report has sampled waste rock, tailings and processing...

Exploration for possible economic vein-style and structurally controlled gold with Adelaidean bedrock sediments in an area located south of Manna Hill township was conducted using low cost remote sensing, geochemical and geophysical methods. The...

Two small areas have been taken up in the Cleve Uplands district to explore structurally interesting portions of the Lower and Upper Middleback Jaspilite stratigraphic units for possible economic buried copper, gold, manganese and iron ore...

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...

As part of a regional search for diamondiferous kimberlite, stream sediment sampling of ?54 sites in the Wharton Hill area failed to reveal any kimberlite indicator minerals. However, heavy mineral concentrates from samples taken at four sites in the...

A manganese-rich Adelaidean stratigraphic unit outcropping along the western flank of the Mount Remarkable Range, which returned 1.8% Co, 1.5% Cu and 1.0% Zn in a grab sample from the Willowie Cobalt prospect, warrants further work because it is...

To continue the assessment of the dimension stone and ornamental stone potential of granitic basement outcrops present on EL 2851, a 5-year Retention Lease, RL 116, was taken out on 7/2/2006 to cover 5.9 ha of the Middle Camp granite pluton. Several...

An area centred ~20 km south-southwest of Kimba is being explored for possible buried Tanami style orogenic lode gold and also for Mount Isa / Broken Hill style base metals mineralisation, which could occur within reactive chemical and pelitic...

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...

An area of the central far northern Flinders Ranges consisting of two separate sub-blocks has been explored for possible economic iron ore / manganese mineralisation which could be present within the unconformable contact between Mesozoic and...

Aquila Resources took up ownership of the much previously-explored ground comprising the Wilcherry Hill Project with the intent of exploring for the first time the iron oxide - associated copper-gold & uranium (IOCG-U) mineralisation potential of...

According to its Critical Minerals Strategy of 2022, Australia aims to turn into the “global critical minerals powerhouse” by 2030 by becoming an integral part of the international critical minerals supply chain (DISER, 2022). The Geological Survey of...

This report presents a market analysis for critical minerals in order to identify and inform the economic opportunities for South Australia in the mining, processing and manufacturing of critical minerals.

Critical minerals are a collection of metal and non-metal commodities considered essential for economic and industrial development, and for which there are significant concerns around future supply due to resource scarcity or geopolitical factors. The...

To date exploration in the Burra region of the Adelaide Geosyncline has focussed on historic copper-gold oxide workings, with the aim of delineating further mineralisation along strike, or sulphide mineralisation at depth. Lately however, rather than...

An area situated a short distance to the east and south-east of CSR's historic Mount Gunson open cut copper workings, covering ground adjacent to the south-western and southern margins of Pernatty Lagoon, has been explored for possible buried economic...

The continuation during 2010 of exploration of the Palaeoproterozoic bedrock in a small area located 60 km west-northwest of Cowell has mainly consisted of the conduct of three shallow drilling campaigns and the examination and analysis of downhole...

An area centred ~90 km south-east of Leigh Creek has been explored for buried sediment-hosted stratabound base metal mineralisation. During the first licence year, after a field reconnaissance had revealed the paucity of alluvial sediments within the...
