The Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) is constantly striving for new and innovative ways to collect and present pre-competitive geoscience data to our stakeholders. One of the traditional, and vital, roles of the GSSA is to conduct field...

The Six Mile Hill 1:75 000 Map Sheet was produced as part of a mapping program integrated into the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) along the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges. The objective of the mapping program was to provide a regional...

This report details newly acquired Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb isotopic data for three samples from two drill holes in the Fowler Domain of the western Gawler Craton. During the late 1980s,stratigraphic drilling done by the...

The Geological Survey of South Australia, in partnership with Geoscience Australia, is undertaking a regional pre-competitive geoscience research drilling program in the far west of South Australia called the Coompana Drilling Project. The Coompana...

Because about 70% of Australia’s land surface is covered by transported regolith material, a major challenge facing the minerals industry is to find ways of exploring effectively and efficiently through regolith cover of various types and thickness....

As part of Esso's continued exploration programme for buried Late Proterozoic stratiform uranium deposits in the Uno - Corunna area, detailed geochemical, petrological, thermoluminescence and lead isotope studies were performed on samples obtained by...

The Peltabinna 1:75 000 Map Sheet was produced as part of a mapping program integrated into the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) along the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges. The objective of the mapping program was to provide a regional...

This report summarises the mapping compilation process of the 1:2 000 000 regolith map of South Australia, and provides an overview of major regolith features. Map compilation was undertaken in ArcGIS and was based on the integration of a variety of...

Along the southern margin of the Mesoproterozoic (~1590 Ma) Gawler Range Volcanics lava flows, on northern Eyre Peninsula, numerous occurrences of silver, lead, zinc and copper mineralisation have been recorded at or near the base of the volcanic...

Continuing exploration for possible buried Mount Gunson and Olympic Dam type copper deposits, or other stratabound base metal occurrences within shelfal facies of Adelaidean sediments or in the pre-Adelaidean Wandearah Formation Carpentarian age...

An area located south-west of Lake Frome, which it was thought might be tectonically analogous to the Torrens Hinge Zone, but developed on the opposite side of the Adelaide Geosyncline, has been explored for possible economic Mount Gunson or Olympic...

In late 1999, the South Australian Government approved the purchase of 1000 square km of land in, and adjacent to, the Gawler Ranges, for the creation of the Gawler Ranges National Park. This land has significant mineral potential, and has been...

In follow-up evaluation of a sedimentary uranium discovery made on the preceding EL 203 in two previously drilled exploratory open rotary holes, 203-1 and 203-2, which encountered downhole radiometric log indications of uranium mineralisation...

In a search for possible economic heavy mineral - bearing buried Tertiary beach sand deposits, similar to the recent Golden Grove discovery made in Eocene fluviatile sediments of an adjacent sub-basin, 20 vertical percussion stratigraphic drillholes...

Exploration for syngenetic/epigenetic Cu-Au targets in Proterozoic basement, and for stratabound Mississippi Valley-type Pb-Zn within Cambrian cover sequences, conducted across an agricultural area located north and west of Port Wakefield that lacks...

Reconnaissance, helicopter supported mapping and sampling within the Yellabinna Regional Reserve, 70 km north-northwest of Ceduna, revealed more extensive basement outcrop than previously recorded, but returned no anomalous metal values. Infill...

Exploration for gold and base metals in the Willouran Ranges, conducted over an area located approximately 26 km south-west of Marree, was aimed at evaluating known quartz-limonite vein stockwork - type gold mineralisation on four prospects, plus...

Possible metallic mineral products of porphyry / skarn and iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralising systems related to fractionated high level Cambrian to Ordovician igneous intrusions were the targets of exploration in the Coonalpyn -...
