Exploration was undertaken for lode and alluvial tin mineralisation which might exist within ground adjacent to the abandoned Mount Mitchell tin mine, and also for reef gold in altered granite and dolerites outcropping adjacent to the numerous small...

A reassessment of Marathon Petroleum's 1979 regional stream sediment sampling programme led to the decision to resample a number of areas within EL 871. The Mt Neill and Mt Fitton areas were chosen, as a result of possible similarities with the...

Two inclined percussion holes were drilled at the Mount Mitchell tin prospect for a total penetration of 504 feet. The aim was to test a discrepancy between subsurface sample negative tin assay results obtained by the Department of Mines, and good...

The target in the Kanmantoo mine area was Cambrian stratabound lead-zinc mineralisation known to be associated with pyritic units of the Brukunga Formation, and copper associated with andalusite-staurolite-garnet-chlorite-biotite schists in the same...

A comparison of known iron deposits in Western Australia and South Australia suggests that large, high grade iron orebodies occur in flatly dipping favourable horizons which have a leached and oxidised appearance: siliceous, steeply dipping iron...

Carbonaceous sediments from tin leads in north-eastern Tasmania have yielded well-preserved and diverse pollen and spore assemblages from the deepest of three stratigraphic units sampled. On the basis of the microfloral assemblages, two...

In a regional soil sampling survey over Willyama Complex rocks on parts of the Outalpa 1:50 000 Sheet, 2443 samples were collected at 25 metres intervals on 54 lines roughly 1km apart. These samples were analysed for CU, PB, Zn, Au, Mn, Mo, Co, Ni, V,...

Volcanism associated with the Middle Proterozoic Gawler Range acid volcano-plutonic province was initiated in the Kokatha area by the construction on Archaean basement of a large stratovolcano composed mainly of tholeiitic basalt and potassic basaltic...

This is a combined study of the regional geochemical stream sediment, regional aeromagnetic and Bouguer gravity data with special reference to possible Pb-Zn mineralised zones. The original Asarco geochemical data was statistically reprocessed and the...

Continued investigation of a probable porphyry - type complex tin and base metal occurrence in the Prospect Hill area, at the far northern end of the Mount Babbage Inlier, has involved additional drilling and structural/petrogenetic studies of outcrop...

Continued evaluation of possible economic primary tin oxide mineralisation in the Prospect Hill area, 20 km north-west of Moolawatana Homestead, concentrated on infill channel geochemical sampling and mineragraphic/petrogenetic sampling of costeans...

No field work was performed over a small licence area located approximately 40 km east-southeast of Tarcoola, where an E-W elongated intense magnetic anomaly corresponds to a low hill of outcropping banded iron formation with an eastwards extension...

During Year 6 of the project, Trafford Resources designed their drilling program to test the extent of the Pb/Zn/Ag/U mineralisation at the Telephone Dam Prospect, while JV partners Ironclad Mining’s drilling program was designed to define the Direct...

Continued evaluation of possible economic primary tin oxide mineralisation at three known separate occurrences in the Prospect Hill area, lying 20 km north-west of Moolawatana Homestead, has focussed on the untested zone immediately below the known...

TARGET: Tin and base metals in sheared Middle-Proterozoic volcanics and granites.EXPLORATION: Two percussion drillholes (50 metres and 48 metres) and 17 channel chip sampling lines spread over 1 km tested the lode at the Southern Ridge prospect....

Evaluation of previous investigations, and geochemical sampling of an Ordovician granite intrusion in the Valley Bore area, particularly for pegmatitic tin-tantalum mineralization, has located only low order anomalous values. Some restricted...

Magnetic expression and boundaries of granite areas were delineated. 8 anomalies were designated for follow up.
