Reconnaissance and detailed bulk loam sampling undertaken to look for diamonds or kimberlite indicator minerals in the vicinity of the Pualco Anticline, plus spectrographic analyses of the derived heavy mineral concentrates for gold and base metals...

As part of a regional search for economic small-scale deposits of rare earth metals in the Mount Painter district, geochemical prospecting revealed several atypically high background niobium values, in stream sediments derived from watercourses known...

Features interpreted from detailed low-level infill airborne coverage to a 1995 SAEI aeromagnetic survey, flown over a large area of disturbed, mainly Adelaidean sedimentary diapiric terrain located between Hawker and the south-eastern shore of Lake...

Exploration for Broken Hill or Aggeneys type Proterozoic stratiform base metal massive sulphides within the Hutchison Group in the Mount Shannan area, north of Cleve, has included the acquisition, processing and interpretation of airborne magnetic,...

Continuing exploration in the Woomera area has included the acquisition of a ground magnetic and gravity survey over the Buller Dam anomaly, which lies on the western flank of the Acropolis aeromagnetic anomaly, and this work confirmed that the former...

Initial exploration carried out near Lilydale Homestead, 80 kilometres south-east of Yunta, targeted possible Starra-style gold in the Braemar Ironstone facies. Flying of an airborne semi-detailed magnetic and radiometric survey identified magnetic...

Exploration for possible heavy mineral sand marine placer deposits within Tertiary sediments on the northern margin of the Murray Basin comprised aircore drilling (28 holes, total 744 m) in the Mutooroo station area, 50 km south-east of Olary. The...

Exploration for Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, undertaken over areas to the south-east of Arcoona Homestead and in the vicinity of Woomera township, has comprised numerous reconnaissance and then detailed gravity, ground magnetic and CSAMT...

Base metal exploration activities undertaken by Thiess Brothers in the Yumali - Coomandook area investigated several coincident regional gravity and aeromagnetic anomalies arising from concealed Palaeozoic basement rocks. These anomalies are part of a...

348 reconnaisance air-core drillholes were completed on the subject ELs between 5 July and 3 October 1990. The best heavy mineral sand intersections were found near Immarna (EL 1602), with some zones approaching ore-grade percentages. Unfortunately,...

Ongoing exploration for Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, over an area centred ~15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, during this period comprised 3D geophysical modelling of possible source geometries for, and RC drilling (10 holes, total...

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...

Exploration was undertaken by BHP along the western margin of the Murray Basin, between Lake Alexandrina and Cambrai township, for possible economic heavy mineral sands and for exhalative sedex-style volcanogenic/stratabound base metal deposits, both...

Ongoing exploration for possible economic sandstone-type uranium deposits formed in Tertiary palaeochannels in the Yarramba area, 50 km north-west of Cockburn, has included further open hole rotary drilling and downhole geophysical logging (176 holes...

A multi-commodity mineral exploration programme carried out over an area between Mannum and Strathalbyn, seeking buried targets concealed in Tertiary sediments and basement rocks, comprised aerial magnetic, radiometric and EM surveys; groundwater,...

Exploration for Broken Hill style stratiform Zn-Pb-Ag and/or Roxby Downs - Cloncurry style discordant Cu-Au and Zn deposits, in the Bimbowrie - MacDonald Hill - Telechie Dam - Boolcoomata area, north-west of Olary, comprised ground magnetic and...

The three licences now being surrendered were originally taken out by Seltrust in the mid-1970s to search for stratabound base metals and Olympic Dam type mineralisation. After Seltrust withdrew from the subsequently formed Stuart Shelf joint venture...

Beneficiation of a bulk sample of monazite ore taken from Monazite Hill, from an orebody containing in excess of 5 million tons of ore with a monazite content of 5-6%, yielded poor results.
