Follow up to stream sediment sampling near Oodnadatta in the Mount Dutton area suggests that anomalous nickel, chromium and cobalt values are associated with ironstone, and anomalous niobium with geodes. No kimberlites were discovered.

Stream sediment sampling southeast of Oodnadatta in the Mount Kingston area revealed no significant anomalies. Rare pyrope was identified in some samples, but no kimberlite were discovered.

The Nairne Pyrite Deposit occurs at Drukunga, three and a half miles east of Nairne, and 29 miles from Adelaide on the eastern flank of the Mount Lofty Ranges. The deposit is being worked for iron sulphides. Operations commenced in 1955 as a joint...

The Cambro-Ordovician Black Hill Norite inlier protrudes through Tertiary marine sediments of the Murray Basin about 85 km east of Adelaide. Available evidence suggests that the complex may be a layered mafic-ultramafic intrusive suite with potential...

Mineral exploration on CHILDARA 1:250 000 geological map sheet was reviewed from SADME open file Envelopes, to complement an overview of regional prospectivity supported via the recent acquisition of high quality aeromagnetic data and a compilation by...

An area centred ~100 km south-east of Tarcoola is being explored for possible economic buried Carrapateena or Prominent Hill style IOCG and polymetallic skarn style mineralisation which may be associated with zones of elevated relief seen in existing...

An area centred ~90 km south-east of Tarcoola and adjacent to the western shore of Lake Gairdner is being explored for possible economic buried Carrapateena or Prominent Hill style IOCG and polymetallic skarn style mineralisation which may be...

Two adjoining areas located north of Koonibba were taken up to explore this part of the south-eastern Eucla Basin for possible buried economic marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands (HM), because they were believed to contain shallow or exposed...

Intensive surface sampling of mineralogical anomalies associated with possible buried intrusive plugs in the Mount Christie region has recovered one only small diamond, now interpreted as a false source indicator and probably due to laboratory...

None of 10 elements tested gave geochemical anomalies over known mineralization in Gunyah Lake, throwing doubt on the usefulness of mud sampling as prospecting tool, especially where bedrock is Tregolana Shale. The method could work over areas of more...

Trialling of precipitation and leaching techniques for the recovery of Y, Sc and heavy lanthanides from process sulphate liquors gave low recoveries. A solvent extraction process using EHPA (di-ethyl hexyl phosphoric acid) was proposed for recovering...

This investigation was a feasibility study, therefore environmental factors are dealt with in much more detail than would be necessary in a routine geochemical report. Apparently these factors has little significant effect on the results. Spot...

A total of 380 stream sediment samples and 40 heavy mineral samples were collected from Giles Complex norites in the Musgrave Ranges and the -80 mesh fraction tested for copper, lead, zinc, cobalt, nickel, chromium, vanadium, manganese, titanium,...

A basic to ultrabasic suite of diorites to peridotites crops out over an area of 0.7 km2, 10 km west of Tumby Bay. Country rocks are dominantly quartz-feldspar gneisses and biotite schists. Highest geochemical values are chromium 2 000 ppm, nickel 1...

A 1600 square km portion of Dominion Mining's Gawler Project acreage, centred on ELs 3044 and 3270, has been explored for possible economic nickel sulphide mineralisation under a joint venture with Mithril Resources, which was in force during the...

Exploration conducted over an area of the western Adelaide Fold Belt centred about 15 km east of Port Germein was designed to appraise the subsurface gold and copper potential of a possibly economically mineralised diapir or diatreme present in the...
