Sedimentary uranium in Tertiary palaeochannels was the target of exploration in an area 90 km east of Lake Frome, adjacent to the NSW border. Work included research and compilation of open file drilling data, compilation of structural contour maps,...

The investigation embraced by this report was initiated as a special project under the direction of the Chief Geologist, with the object of assessing the oil prospects of the Cambrian rocks of Yorke Peninsula. Following a preliminary reconnaissance in...

Mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Proterozoic Giles Complex, which have intruded highly metamorphosed basement units of the Musgrave Block in an area 380 km WNW of Marla, were considered to have potential to host massive Ni sulphide mineralisation,...

Groundwater sampling, aeromagnetic interpretation, shallow auger sampling and isotope studies were carried out over an area 30 km northeast of Elliston. Heavy mineral concentrates from composite auger samples contained zircon, galena and sphalerite,...

No new work - licence farmout attempted without success. Some brief background technical documentation was tendered.

Exploration for sedimentary uranium in Tertiary palaeochannels was carried out on four partly contiguous licences located immediately south and east of Lake Frome. Research of historic data, including an evaluation of the results from 309 existing...

Point Paterson, located on the Spencer Gulf coastline 15 km south-east from Port Augusta, was the site of limited commercial sea salt production from 1951 to 1963. A site inspection, recently carried out to appraise the abandoned facilities of this...

TARGET: Lower Permian coal of steaming or coking grade, suitable for open cut development. EXPLORATION: Rotary drilling of 42 open and partly cored holes totalling 5122 m, including 105 m of coring, with follow-up geophysical logging. RESULTS: 7...

In a search for possible economic sedimentary uranium deposits that may have formed in the vicinity of Curnamona Station, two and possibly three Tertiary palaeochannels were located by 6 east-west lines of reconnaissance resistivity surveying, within...

An archaeological survey has been made of the remains of the Burra melting works, and in-depth research into the works' history and operation between 1848 and the present day has been carried out, to enable an assessment of the site's significance on...

Exploration for possible ancient beach strandline heavy mineral sand placer deposits formed within the Pleistocene Bridgewater Formation has been undertaken in the State's South-East region. This pioneering on-ground work came about after several...

A resistivity survey consisting of four E-W profiles and a follow-up rotary drilling programme (16 holes, total 1456 m) were conducted in EL 121, adjacent to the SA-NSW border, to try to locate possible sedimentary uranium deposits within inferred...

The Six Mile Hill area was one of three areas targeted in the Minerals Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) during 2015-2016. Four holes were drilled in the Six Mile Hill area to test for potential for iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation and to...

Although gold is widespread throughout South Australia, the state has traditionally been, and continues to be, recognised as a minor producer. The 2001-2002 gold production figure of 3.64 t still only represents approximately 1.4% of the total...
