Gold and base metal exploration near Anabama Hill comprised an interpretation of open file aeromagnetic survey data, and follow-up ground geological reconnaissance. Although the area was found to be prospective for concealed bedrock mineralisation, it...

In a search for possible concealed Olympic Dam type deposits in an area of the Adelaide Geosyncline which straddles part of the south-western margin of the Curnamona Province, two geophysical (gravity/magnetic) targets identified at Bibliando Dome and...

8 diamond drillholes totalling 1597 feet were drilled to test for buried lode extensions at the Avondale lead-zinc mine and for hydrothermal copper mineralisation possibly associated with diorite dykes at the Belliack prospect, where anomalous rock...

3000 cubic m of potentially gold-bearing alluvial sediments from the bed of Wonna Creek, located 25 km north-east of Hallett, were screened at 6 mm. Two bulk samples of the minus 6 mm sediment size fraction, representing depth intervals from surface...

Base metal exploration carried out 70 km west and south-west of Marree, to investigate the potential for Olympic Dam - type mineralisation in concealed pre-Adelaidean rocks, has included geochemical rock chip and water sampling, an aerial radiometric...

Possible intrusive Proterozoic salt bodies beneath the Blinman, Upalinna, Martins Well, Mt Hemming, Willippa and Bibliando Domes were investigated by field mapping, including the construction of measured outcrop stratigraphic sections, seismic...

No diamond indicator or base metal anomalies were revealed by the geochemistry of stream sediments sampled at 16 sites near Mount Brown.

1:100k scale geological mapping and reconnaissance stream sediment geochemical sampling of Umberatana and Burra Group bedrock exposures (220 samples), performed in a search for Telfer style stratabound gold, revealed only three anomalous gold assay...

Gold/copper exploration being undertaken north-west of Yunta has comprised rock chip geochemical sampling and BLEG stream sediment sampling. No significant gold anomalies were identified from the drainage bulk samples. High assay values of up to 8.8...

Exploration activities have included reconnaissance (1:20,000 scale) and detailed (1:1000 scale) geological mapping, limited surface rock chip sampling (9 samples), and the excavation of 31 costeans to expose for examination more than 580 linear m of...

A small area of rugged terrain located to the north-west of Freeling Heights in the Mount Painter district is being explored for possible economic base metal and uranium occurrences. Exploration has comprised helicopter radiometric coverage of the...

TARGET: Disseminated low grade, large tonnage deposits of copper, lead and zinc mineralisation formed in Adelaidean metasediments overlying Mesoproterozoic igneous rocks. EXPLORATION: 1:12,000 and 1:4,800 scale geological mapping, rock chip, soil and...

An exploration licence area covering 120 square miles in the vicinity of the Eurelia Anticline was taken up by Utah Development to search for possible economic Zambian Copperbelt-style stratiform copper deposits within upper Adelaidean metasedimentary...

In the Terowie - Whyte Yarcowie district, and in other nearby areas to the east and south-east, ongoing reconnaissance/infill stream sediment and bulk sampling of highland areas, plus detailed grid-based loam sampling of alluvium on lower-lying arid...

As a result of the work outlined in this report it is concluded that the possibility of economic tonnages of copper ore within the area of Special Mining Lease no. 165 are restricted to three localities, Breaden Hill, Boorloo and East Rook. All three...

Ongoing exploration by the SA Department of Mines of the copper and molybdenum - mineralised Anabama Granite batholith, which is located 20 km south-east of Manna Hill, has involved detailed geological mapping, soil and rock chip sampling, and the...

Examination of potentially economic stratiform copper mineralisation recorded in the Paratoo area, located approximately 60 km north-east of Peterborough, has found that it occurs within Adelaidean shales and siltstones over the apical hinge zone of a...

Possibly prospective copper mineral occurrences in the vicinity of Beltana were investigated by conducting part of a multi-licence aerial survey over them, and by researching all of the existing information on the local geology. An extensive desktop...
