Two adjacent licences together covering a large area located to the south of the Barrier Highway between Olary and Manna Hill are being explored for possible large tonnage, mainly buried low grade magnetite deposits that could have formed within the...

Drilling near Leigh Creek had delineated sufficient reserves of oxidized copper ore, for 5 years chemical operations at Burra and Port Adelaide, in 7 separate deposits in 3 areas, namely : 1) Mountain of Light : Paltridge North (formerly Mountain of...

Evaluation of the potential of the Nillinghoo Goldfield district to hold Telfer - type low grade, shallowly dipping stratabound gold deposits suitable for open pit extraction has included aerial photograph, Landsat and regional magnetic data...

During Year 12 of the Olary JV Project (2008-2009), field work was undertaken only on EL 3849 Outalpa to make up for the earlier underspending on that licence relative to commitments. In early 2009, a ground radioactivity survey was acquired using a...

Exploration for possible economic Olympic Dam - type epithermal/hydrothermal or Zambian Copperbelt - type stratabound/replacement base metal deposits, in an area located approximately 40 km south-east of Yunta, focussed on magnetic anomalies and...

An area of 1.2 square km surrounding the Big Lode mine historic copper workings was reserved for 18 months under tenure of seven Mining Claims, to allow for the detailed geological mapping of rock structures possibly controlling observed secondary...

The PARACHILNA map area (31 to 32°S, 138 to 139.5°E) occupies the central Flinders Ranges which are made up of folded, mostly marine sedimentary Neoproterozoic and Cambrian rocks of the Adelaide Geosyncline, and adjoining plains underlain by Cainozoic...

The extremely thick succession provides one of the most complete sedimentary records for the Late Proterozoic. The term geosyncline is used in a non-genetic sense for the basin in which deposition occurred during the Adelaidean and Cambrian. Only the...

The geological history of the present-day observable rocks that outcrop in the Clare Valley district of South Australia is described in easily understandable language by a SA Government geological mapping expert. His interpretative map depicting the...

Ten glacial megaclasts, unique perhaps from a global perspective, have been identified in the half-graben rift of the MacDonald Corridor. The MacDonald Corridor is the most easterly of four half-grabens containing Neoproterozoic low-grade...

Five hundred drainage geochemical samples were collected in an area of 16½ square miles over the Mount Grainger Diapir and surrounding country rock, during February and March 1963. Results of this survey outlined an extensive copper, lead, zinc...

Diapiric marbles and dolomitic siltstone breccia of presumed Willouran age intrude younger Umberatana Group rocks which have been folded into an elongate domal structure and, in part, rest unconformably on the diapiric core. Within the diapir several...

Most of the geochemical copper anomalies outlined by soil sampling in the Mount Coffin Diapir area are attributed to secondary dispersion of copper by weathering from epigenetic sources of low economic importance. One anomaly, caused by mineralised...

Geochemical follow-up soil sampling performed near Nichols Nob, over stream sediment base metal anomalies previously recognised along the western margin of the Mount Burr Diapir, has delineated several copper anomalies. The largest of these have...

The COPLEY 1:250 000 map area includes the northern Flinders Ranges and the southern part of the Willouran Ranges. It is bounded to the west by the Lake Torrens Sunkland and, to the east, by the Lake Frome Plains. A thick sequence of older Precambrian...
