Exploration for possible commercial diamond deposits has been carried out along a portion of the G2 gravity lineament located immediately south of William Creek and the southern Peake and Denison Ranges, looking for inferred diamondiferous kimberlite...

As part of continuing diamond exploration on the subject five licences, more of the first pass sampling program was completed by Flinders Diamonds in August 2006 via aircore drilling of 47 vertical holes for an aggregate 1852 m aimed at penetrating to...

Hillgrove Resources Ltd (Hillgrove) is exploring for base metals and associated gold mineralisation in the Cambro-Ordovician basement rocks of south-east South Australia. EL 6176 is one of 8 licences held by Hillgrove in this region. The licence is...

Three small adjacent licence sub-blocks, that together cover ~1.5 square km of inferred prospective brownfields ground immediately surrounding Mining Lease ML 5776 held over the former Kanmantoo open pit copper mine (which peripheral ground is herein...

After two intensive regional reconnaisance programmes of heavy mineral sampling, backed up by air photointerpretation and drill hole record checks, the licensee has concluded that the tenement areas relinquished have a low prospectivity for diamonds....

Possible Cainozoic garnet-rich heavy mineral sand placer deposits that might have been derived from erosion of Cambrian Kanmantoo Group metasediments were investigated by very shallow auger drilling (11 holes, total 19 m) and beach sand sampling...

Exploration for possible kimberlite pipes in the Mount Arthur - Mount Toodla area, 30 km east-southeast of Oodnadatta, has included preliminary gravity and ground magnetic surveys, stream sediment sampling, and the drilling of a single diamond cored...

Results of reconnaissance geochemical sampling of outcrop and lag gravels of ?Birksgate Complex ferruginous quartzites within the eastern Musgrave Block did not justify further exploration for potential Broken Hill-style exhalative Pb-Zn-Ag deposits.

A single dodecahedral 0.375 mm x 0.3 mm microdiamond and several different kimberlitic indicator minerals were recovered during regional stream sediment and gravel sampling of an area surrounding and extending south-west of Hawker. Follow-up...

Diamonds and base and precious metal exploration undertaken north-east of Port Kenny on western Eyre Peninsula comprised loam sampling for kimberlite indicator minerals, RC drilling (7 vertical holes, total 470 m), plus bedrock petrological, heavy...

Ground magnetic surveys were carried out over seven interpreted aeromagnetic anomalies located north-west of Port Augusta. Those with interpreted source depths that were shallow enough to be reached by RC drilling (6 holes, total 570 m) were found to...

35 surface samples of various clastic sediments deposited on Kangaroo Island were studied microscopically to see if the respective abundances, composition and mineralogical features of their heavy mineral grain components might shed light on possible...

Extensions to Cu-Pb-Co-Ag - rich lodes that were formerly exploited at the historic Wheal Ellen mine, located 40 km south-east of Adelaide, were the targets of recently renewed exploration for gold and base metals. Following the conduct of extensive...

PACE proposal DPY3-14 aimed to discover a new iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralised magmatic centre, similar to the Olympic Dam setting, within the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton. The Pernatty Lagoon project is located less than...

Two adjoining licence areas located in the country east of Pernatty Lagoon that lies between 80 and 180 km north of Port Augusta are being explored by Monax Mining Limited (Monax) for economic Proterozoic basement-hosted Iron-Oxide associated...

Renewed diamond exploration has been conducted in a part of the western Eyre Peninsula where numerous kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) anomalies occur in surficial sediments, and where the four adjoining licence areas involved lie in close proximity...

This field guide presents an introduction to the geology and tectonics of the south-eastern Gawler Craton, particularly as observed at the Corny Point locality. Topics covered include the detrital zircon age distributions within the Corny Point...
