Samples examined for stratigraphic identification.

Ongoing appraisal work conducted by CSR at the company's newly discovered Cattlegrid copper deposit that lies at the top of the Pandurra Formation has included infill rotary percussion and diamond drilling (13 holes for 554 m, including 166 m cored),...

Exploration for possible Precambrian sediment-hosted base metal deposits within an area lying just west and south of Lake Hart has comprised a photogeological study, geological mapping at 1:87,000 scale, a gravity survey along a single 30 km traverse,...

An area centred approximately 90 km north-west of Woomera has been explored for possible economic copper mineralisation associated with geophysical anomalies thought to originate within Adelaidean metasedimentary bedrock. After considerable delays and...

Stratiform copper sulphides, hosted within the basal Tapley Hill Formation, and extensions of known kimberlite bodies were targeted in this program. Reconnaissance and closer (down to 1 km x 1 km) spaced diamond and percussion drilling (28 and 83...

The Cultana map area lies about 150 miles north-northeast of Adelaide and straddles the narrow northern arm of Spencer Golf, South Australia. Along the western side of the area, which includes the industrial town of Whyalla, are exposures of steeply...

Titan prospect is located within Exploration Licence 3209, and lies 30 km north of the Olympic Dam mine. The prospect was first drilled by Western Mining Corp. in 1976 with diamond drillhole BD 1, and in 1981 with a second hole, BD 2. Both holes hit...

Ongoing exploration by WMC of an area located in the Andamooka district, which surrounds the township and opalfield region at some little distance, and which, some 25 km to the west of the town includes the Roxby Downs prospect on which the giant...

The PORT AUGUSTA 1:250,000 mapsheet area covers the north-eastern part of the Eyre Peninsula, the northern Spencer Gulf and the south-western Flinders Ranges, and extends from latitude 32°00'S to 33°00'S and longitude 136°30'S to 138°00'S. The main...

Sandstone as a building material was used extensively in Adelaide and regional South Australia from the founding of the colony until the end of World War II. However, since 1945 the industry has declined steadily, with closure of many quarries, until...

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...

The revised digital geology map of the Cultana 1:100 000 map sheet and accompanying geological descriptions in this report are the first components of the 2nd edition PORT AUGUSTA 1:250 000 map sheet to be completed. The subject map sheet occupies the...

The Carrapateena mineral discovery was the outcome of a PACE Initiative drilling project co-funded by RMG Services Pty Ltd and the Government of South Australia. Two holes were drilled, the second of which (CAR002) encountered a major body of...

Exploration targets were gold and base metals in Adelaidean and basement rocks, 20 km southwest of Mount Gunson. Regional and infill calcrete sampling did not reveal any areas worthy of follow up, and geophysical interpretation indicated depths to...

Surface geological mapping and open hole rotary drilling of 21 stratigraphic holes totalling 8717 m were carried out within the relinquished ground portion, which from reviewing the results is regarded as having low potential for copper and other base...

Cultana is located on parts of the north-eastern Eyre Peninsula, northern Spencer Gulf and south-western Flinders Ranges, and is underlain by rocks of the Mesoarchaean-Mesoproterozoic Gawler Craton, the Neoproterozoic Adelaide Geosyncline, Torrens...

Ongoing exploration for possible buried Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, conducted over an area of the Stuart Shelf located 15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, has comprised RC drilling (20 holes, aggregate penetration 1768 m) and diamond...

Proterozoic iron oxide - associated Cu-Au deposits of Olympic Dam type, and possible Yilgarn Craton style Archaean Cu-Ni mineralisation in ultramafic rocks, Pt-Cr mineralisation in layered mafic-ultramafic complexes and Cu-Pb-Zn in acid volcanic...
