Ongoing exploration by the SA Department of Mines of the copper and molybdenum - mineralised Anabama Granite batholith, which is located 20 km south-east of Manna Hill, has involved detailed geological mapping, soil and rock chip sampling, and the...

Soil geochemical sampling (940 samples) carried out on a 1000 foot by 1500 foot grid pattern over the Arkaba Diapir, aiming to check for possible economic zinc mineralisation that may have formed within the diapiric breccias and related fracture zones...

Exploration of the known copper-bearing Lower Adelaidean metasediments outcropping in the Willouran Ranges to the south-west of Marree addressed the many historical mine prospects and also the region as a whole. Initial work comprised a regional...

Possibly prospective copper mineral occurrences in the vicinity of Beltana were investigated by conducting part of a multi-licence aerial survey over them, and by researching all of the existing information on the local geology. An extensive desktop...

The only geochemically anomalous area found from surface sampling for copper which was conducted over the Mount Coffin Diapir (332 samples taken over 18 square miles), was along its boundary with the younger sediments of the Yudnamutana Subgroup....

Exploration for stratabound copper deposits within potentially prospective Late Proterozoic host sedimentary rocks over an area of the southern Flinders Ranges comprised regional geochemical sampling and detailed (1:10,000 scale) geological mapping,...

An investigation of seven interesting IP anomalies on the Oraparinna Dome, which had been delineated in 1966 by Metals Exploration but not then tested by that company, has lately comprised anomaly gridding, 1:1200 scale geological mapping, and...

In a search for possible economic stratiform copper occurrences in Upper Proterozoic sediments of the Willouran Ranges, the licensee undertook photogeological and field mapping studies plus a regional geochemical survey of outcropping rocks and...

As part of a regional search for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VHMS) base metal deposits, a geological reconnaissance plus rock chip sampling was carried out in the vicinity of old copper workings in the Black Hills / Mutooroo Ridge region, 40 km...

A structurally deformed area in the southwestern corner of SML 704, having many copper carbonate showings and small historic workings known as the Yudnamutana Mining Field, has been mapped at a semi-detailed scale. The area is transected by the...

The subject licence area was taken up to explore for buried economic copper mineralisation in fractured/faulted, hydrothermally-altered Neoproterozoic country rocks associated with blind, near-surface diapiric structures that may have intruded into...

The object of the current investigation was to identify ore controls, to outline an area for geophysical investigation, and to locate targets for diamond drilling. The work carried out to date includes an examination of the known mineral occurrences...

A new generation, second edition MARREE 1:250 000 scale geological map and its explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's latest geological mapping program (1993 to...
