An area centred approximately 70 km west of Broken Hill is being explored for possible economic buried Broken Hill type Pb-Ag-Zn mineralisation that may be hosted by metasediments of the Palaeoproterozoic Wilyama Supergroup, as well as for possible...

Ongoing exploration carried out by project operator Havilah Resources under its newly ratified, twelve exploration licence Curnamona Project Amalgamated Expenditure Agreement, for the period 15/10/2003 to 31/12/2004, consisted mainly of drilling done...

In a continuation of mineral exploration on a small licence centred ~100 km north of Olary, no new work was performed by licensee Alphadale over the three-year period July 2001 to July 2004. A new joint venture partner was sought to carry forward the...

This field guidebook provides brief geological summaries to sites in South Australia that were visited during the 2006 Broken Hill Exploration Initiative pre-conference excursion. Figures show the location of the field area and approximate location of...

Four areas on the south-western margin of the Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic Willyama Inliers were mapped in detail to elucidate the nature of their lithostratigraphy, structure and mineralisation. These basement inliers are composed of...

The excursion to the Old Boolcoomata region of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province, in South Australia presents most of the stratigraphy of the late Palaeoproterozoic Willyama Supergroup and evidence for its complex deformation during the ~1600 Ma...

Includes abstracts with the following titles: 1) How magnetotellurics (MT) works, and an overview of new central Australian MT results (Kate Selway) 2) Latest MT traverse results: western Gawler Craton (Stephan Thiel) 3) A constrained 3D...

In May 2004 the Minister for the Department of Environment and Heritage purchased Bimbowrie Station pastoral lease. The station was purchased because it encompasses part of the Olary Ranges, which is part of the environmentally important Broken Hill...

The aim of this report is to provide a summary of the present status of the geology of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province. It gives a comprehensive, referenced description of all known interpretations of Willyama Supergroup basement stratigraphy,...

Approximately 30 square km of outcrop of Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks in the vicinity of Ameroo Hill were geologically mapped by the author at 1:10,000 scale, with the aim of identifying meso- and macroscopic rock structures and lithologically...

The Curnamona Province is the southern remnant of the Palaeoproterozoic Pb-Zn belt, and represents but a small fragment of the original superbasin. Geological data supports the idea of the basin being a rift, with sediments in the Broken Hill Domain...

Uranium has been the mainstay of mineral exploration and mining in the Curnamona Province of South Australia since the early prospecting activity at Radium Hill in 1906 and Mount Painter in 1910. Larger scale mining and exploration began after the...

Migmatites are complex, high-grade crystalline rocks that have formed by partial melting. They have been recognised within the crustal rock record across most of geological time, are seen to be developed in various tectonic settings, and can affect a...

During 2013, the tenth year of the Curnamona Project, field activities were conducted by MMG on ELs 4225, 4259, 4313, 4441, 4691, 4782 and 4940. Four ground gravity surveys were acquired on parts of six licences. In total 7519 new stations were read...

PepinNini is exploring the subject EL 3278 for all potential mineralisation styles known to occur in Palaeoproterozoic basement metasediments, but the company considers that the most prospective opportunities include stratabound Cu-Au akin to the...

Possible Ernest Henry - style IOCG mineral deposits formed in Palaeoproterozoic basement metasediments and intrusive rocks buried under thick cover were the targets of exploration carried out on three irregular tenement areas spread across the region...

EL 2937 licensee Southern Cross Resources has utilised PACE Initiative Year 2 funding assistance to carry out a collaborative drilling project to test 2 primary base metal/uranium targets within Willyama Group basement at a location 5 km south-east of...

The Kalkaroo Cu-Au-Mo deposit is located 65 km north of Olary and 100 km west of Broken Hill, and occupies a portion of very prospective Palaeoproterozoic Bimba Formation subcrop, which potentially could have a 40 km strike length around two buried...
