A small area located 15 km north-east of Beltana was explored for possible economic stratabound or epigenetic/hydrothermal base metal deposits associated with Adelaidean and Cambrian calcareous/dolomitic strata and Willouran diapiric structures. Work...

Several mineral claims were pegged over base metal deposits in class A and B. Environmental areas, northeast of Blinman. Copper, lead and barite deposits were inspected and mapped. Includes petrography and mineragraphy of 11 samples. Mineralization is...

Maps show areas covered by 7 company and SADME stream sediment surveys for Cu, Pb and Zn. 9 areas were resampled (297 samples) as a check which showed differences in the results. Caution is needed in use of earlier data. Copper anomalies are...

Oraparinna or Bunkers Hill mine is the largest operating underground mine in SA and has produced more than 50% of all barite and nearly 90% of industrial grade barite mined in SA. It has been the largest supplier of industrial grade barite in...

Barite with abundant botryoidal goethite and quartz formed during Ordovician Delamerian Orogeny as infillings of fissure near regional northwesterly fault. Largely mined for oil drilling grade barite. Uneconomic tonnages remain.

Shallow seismic refraction traverses were carried out over six proposed sites for stream gauging near Hawker in South Australia. The results have determined bedrock topography and the depth to the water table at each site. The subsurface was clearly...

266 summary sheets on significant lead-zinc occurrences and anomalous concentrations have been prepared by the Department's Lead-Zinc Taskforce as a data package, in the form of 5 reports, to assist in the search for lead-zinc deposits to provide...

Ages between 1000 and 1200 Ma have been recorded from diverse rock types at 10 scattered localities outside the Musgrave Block and Ammaroodinna Inlier. All are K-Ar and Rb-Sr mineral concentrates or whole rock ages, except 1 U-Pb age on detrital...

A small area located 45 km north-east of Leigh Creek, which covers the sites of numerous small historic diggings made by prospectors searching for copper and lead-zinc-silver mineralisation, is now being explored afresh for possible economic...

Three areas in the Parachilna - Beltana - Leigh Creek area were excluded from prospectivity for Cambrian base metal mineralisation following reconnaissance soil and rock chip sampling and a review of previous exploration.

A group of jointly reported tenements in the northern Flinders Ranges region is being explored for economic base metal mineralisation that might have formed within Late Proterozoic to Middle Cambrian continental rift margin sediments, probably with...

Cross Keys Mining Pty Ltd were granted EL 5847 on 9th September 2016. EL 5847 is in the Northern Flinders Ranges and covers approximately 67 square km. Both copper and gold have been worked historically within the tenement area. Within the tenement...

During the first year of its evaluation of the Beltana and Aroona mining properties on which it has taken out an option, Perilya undertook the following intensive work programme aimed at locating buried extensions and repetitions of the willemite...

TARGET: Shallowly buried Mesozoic coal of a rank at least equal to that of Leigh Creek coal. EXPLORATION: A gravity survey and 2 scout rotary drillholes (total 167.5 m). RESULTS: No coal was intersected.

Epithermal, fault-related gold and base metals in calcareous Adelaidean metasediments (cf. the Beltana and Aroona zinc-lead deposits), and sedex style base metals of Mount Isa - McArthur River type, or stratiform base metals in black shale units, were...

Renewed exploration by E-Z of the area surrounding the Beltana zinc mine has investigated the possibility for finding deep, unweathered Cambrian or Proterozoic carbonate-hosted zinc-lead sulphide mineralisation. It was considered that this target had...

TARGET: Diamonds, gold and copper in the Mount Roebuck area. EXPLORATION: Drainage, loam and rock chip sampling, ground magnetic, radiometric and IP surveys, and diamond drilling (4 holes totalling 739 m). RESULTS: A single, 0.5 mm x 0.4 mm diameter...

TARGET: Possible diapirism-related gold, base metals and diamonds in the Warraweena area, located 10 km south-east of Copley. EXPLORATION: Reconnaissance gravel and stream sediment BLEG sampling, plus geochemical tests for signatures of possible...

Continuing exploration for economic stratiform base metal deposits in an area approximately 30 km north-east of Copley has outlined the presence of persistent traces of disseminated chalcopyrite, galena and pyrite within green shales and dolomitic...
