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...

Bimbowrie EL 3278 is located within the Palaeoproterozoic Olary Domain of the Curnamona Province, South Australia. The property is prospective for a variety of mineralisation styles including granite batholith primary (hard-rock) uranium, Broken Hill...

CURNAMONA PROVINCE SUMMARY Age: Sedimentation - late Palaeoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic. Felsic and mafic volcanism - late Palaeoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic. Granitic intrusion - late Palaeoproterozoic to early...

The majority of mineral exploration undertaken in the South Eagle area, centred 40 km north-east of Olary, has targeted stratabound Pb-Zn-Ag, stratabound massive sulphide Cu-Zn-Co-Mn, and Cu-Au mineralisation that may have formed in Proterozoic rocks...

The area of interest for base metal exploration lies within a complex of Archaean metamorphic rocks intruded by undifferentiated granitic rocks of Archaean-Proterozoic age. The main exploration target is copper, but moderately rich silver, cobalt and...

Since 1918, the Dome Rock copper occurrences have been worked intermittently from three separate workings by various mining groups and syndicates. Rich oxidised ores have been extracted from the Day shaft and Meehan shaft workings, and primary...

Wollastonite (CaSi0 3) is a mineral with a wide and increasing range of uses. USA is the worlds major producer and consumer. At Ethiudna in the Olary Province wollastonite is associated with diopside, calcite, quartz and feldspar in the Ethiudna Calc...

A tenement area located 25 km south-west of Olary was taken up for exploration because in the licensees' opinion it is favourably located on the southern margin of the Curnamona Craton, and covers Willyama Supergroup metasediments and metavolcanics...

This field guidebook provides brief geological summaries to sites in South Australia that were visited during the 2006 Broken Hill Exploration Initiative pre-conference excursion. Figures show the location of the field area and approximate location of...

Four areas on the south-western margin of the Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic Willyama Inliers were mapped in detail to elucidate the nature of their lithostratigraphy, structure and mineralisation. These basement inliers are composed of...

The excursion to the Old Boolcoomata region of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province, in South Australia presents most of the stratigraphy of the late Palaeoproterozoic Willyama Supergroup and evidence for its complex deformation during the ~1600 Ma...

The aim of this report is to provide a summary of the present status of the geology of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province. It gives a comprehensive, referenced description of all known interpretations of Willyama Supergroup basement stratigraphy,...

Approximately 30 square km of outcrop of Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks in the vicinity of Ameroo Hill were geologically mapped by the author at 1:10,000 scale, with the aim of identifying meso- and macroscopic rock structures and lithologically...

Former sheep station ‘Bimbowrie’, situated in the Olary Ranges, South Australia, was purchased by the South Australian Government as a conservation park in 2004. It has had a long history of mining, mineral exploration and geoscientific investigation....

The petrology of a uranium-bearing adamellite body at Crocker Well in the Olary Province is described. The study of the adamellite has been carried out to investigate whether significant mineralogical or chemical trends are associated with the...

The Kalkaroo Cu-Au-Mo deposit is located 65 km north of Olary and 100 km west of Broken Hill, and occupies a portion of very prospective Palaeoproterozoic Bimba Formation subcrop, which potentially could have a 40 km strike length around two buried...

Exploration carried out mainly to look for possible large primary deposits of uranium ore in localities surrounding Ethiudna Hill initially addressed the potential of several hard rock showings of uranium mineralisation which had been found by...
