A 900 line km detailed aeromagnetic survey was carried out over the northern extremity of Spencer Gulf, in a search for possible Olympic Dam style mineralisation associated with a significant and complex magnetic high anomaly that is located almost...

Exploration of an area situated between Whyalla, Iron Knob and The Bluff overlooking Myall Creek, 20 km south-west of Port Augusta, aimed to test for Olympic Dam - type Cu-U-Au mineralisation associated with products of igneous activity located in and...

Following a review of existing regional geophysical and geological data for the north-western Stuart Shelf, grid-based gravity and ground magnetic surveys were run to further outline two broad gravity highs associated with discrete magnetic anomalies,...

In December, 1979 a display of selected drillcore from the Gawler Craton, South Australia, was exhibited at the core Library complex of the South Australian Department of Mines and Energy. It was organised by the Geological Society of Australia (SA...

Beda Volcanics and Backy Point Formation crop out in only a few localities on northeastern Eyre Peninsula, north of Whyalla, but drilling has shown them to extend for approximately 170 km to the north below younger cover. The Beda Volcanics comprise...

Three previously untested, significant gravity anomalies were the targets for 4 exploratory vertical RC drillholes totalling 750 m, put down in areas west and north-west of Whyalla by Minotaur Exploration with funding assistance from PIRSA through its...

A small area located on the eastern side of the Roopena Fault Zone, proximal to the south-eastern margin of the Gawler Ranges, is being explored for possible buried epigenetic gold and silver mineralisation, or IOCG type base metal sulphide...

An area centred ~30 km west of Port Augusta and comprising two separate sub-blocks has been explored for possible buried economic gold and base metal mineralisation which could have formed within IOCG or shear zone settings. Primary targets were two...

Ongoing exploration for a possible Cattlegrid type stratabound copper deposit over an area south-west of Lake Torrens included aerial magnetic and EM surveys, drill testing of EM anomalies by 47 percussion holes totalling 2086 m, a regional magnetic...

In a search for possible economic repetitions of Cattlegrid and MG14 - style copper sulphide mineralisation, or for any buried analogues to Western Mining Corp.'s recently discovered copper deposits on Roxby Downs Station, ongoing exploratory work...

All previously collected rock specimens were reclassified and discussed.

Exploration for possible Olympic Dam type base metal sulphide deposits within the pre-Adelaidean basement underlying an area 100 km north-east of Kingoonya initially included making over 100 rock unit density and magnetic susceptibility measurements...

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...

Two drill cuttings samples from 2842 and 2860 feet depth KB in Apollo 1 (economic basement) were examined for their heavy mineral composition as an aid to stratigraphic correlation with Precambrian sediments found in the adjacent onshore. The well...

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...

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,...

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...
