As part of continuing brownfields exploration for extensions to known stratiform base metal mineralisation in the area lying to the west of Pernatty Lagoon, much stratigraphic drilling (210 rotary percussion holes totalling 12,441 m, including 1167 m...

Aerial electromagnetic surveys using the Barringer Mark V 'INPUT' System were flown by CSR Ltd in the vicinity of Mount Gunson in three sorties during 1973 (260 line km), 1975 (3686 line km) and 1977 (1150 line km), in an attempt to remotely locate...

Formation responses in 12 drill holes were studied. SP and PR logs were run for only 6 holes because of highly saline groundwater conditions. No meaningful electrical logs were obtained.

The principal target of ongoing exploration in the southern Lake Torrens region was a possible buried, large, high-grade base and precious metal deposit lying within the pre- Pandurra Formation basement. After completing the drilling of DDH YAD1 at...

Discusses the influence of sedimentary structures, weathering and mild tectonism on the development of breccia types, the relationship of mineralization to faulting and fracture systems, possible sources of base metals and sulphur and consequent...

A study of formation responses in 22 drill holes.

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),...

In a search for possible economic stratiform base metals within Adelaidean sediments on the western edge of the Stuart Shelf, one vertical diamond cored hole was drilled to 154.44 m near a pair of basement outliers of Gawler Range Volcanics, to test...

Airborne and ground geophysical surveys were undertaken in the Billa Kalina area, prior to commencing to drill in a search for Olympic Dam type Cu-U-Au mineralised haematitic breccias, in order to delineate and detail several broad magnetic anomalies...

In a search for possible Olympic Dam or Mount Gunson type buried base metal deposits in an area 90 km north-west of Woomera, BHP undertook 93 line km of ground magnetic and gravity surveys plus exploratory/stratigraphic diamond drilling (1 hole to 675...

TARGET: Possible buried base and precious metal deposits associated with aeromagnetic anomalies, and also with either coincident or unrelated gravity anomalies, lying within a relinquished sector of the large contiguous multi-licence area that Western...

An area of the southern Stuart Shelf, with untested potential for hosting possible stratiform base metal deposits within a probable concealed Early Proterozoic sedimentary basin embayment, was explored by BP as part of their regional mineral...

Testing of the stratabound base metal potential of the basal Pandurra Formation section, in an area located 40 km north-east of Kingoonya, involved drilling down into the pre-Pandurra basement with 4 vertical percussion holes totalling 878 m. This...

During renewed tenure, under two sequential licences, of an area located 60 km east of Woomera, exploration has continued to seek possible buried economic copper mineralisation of Mount Gunson or, preferably, Olympic Dam type. New work has included...

Basal Neoproterozoic Tapley Hill Formation - hosted stratiform copper was targeted primarily in this exploration programme, which consisted of reconnaissance deep percussion drilling (17 holes for a total advance of 4167 m) on the centres of...

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,...

Stratiform copper deposits, hosted within the Neoproterozoic Tapley Hill Formation, and possible diamondiferous kimberlite bodies were targeted in this exploration programme. Low value base metal intersections made from drilling (2 diamond holes,...

In a search for possible buried stratiform base metal deposits of Mount Gunson type in an area surrounding Mount Eba Homestead, Carpentaria undertook a field reconnaissance of surface geological structures, followed by a study of aerial photographs...

Exploration for possible stratiform or hydrothermal/epithermal base and precious metals within Adelaidean metasedimentary cover and Middle Proterozoic crystalline basement in the Cultana area, 35 km south-southwest of Port Augusta, has consisted of...
