An assessment of the Late Tertiary Murray Basin shallow marine clastic sedimentary sequence (Loxton and Parilla sands) for heavy mineral sand accumulations has discovered numerous occurrences of economic to sub-economic amounts of heavy minerals...

No field work was done during the first year of tenure. A review of previous drillhole data for the subject area has indicated that crystalline basement occurs at an average depth of 10 m. The entire area is dominated by a 40 km former promontory,...

Exploration licence 6794, White Cloud, is located north-west of Kimba approximately 120 km north of Port Neill and covered an area of 411 square kilometres. Kalotech Pty Ltd were exploring the area for kaolin-type deposits within the Tertiary clay...

An area located 55 km east of Marree was explored for possible sedimentary uranium deposits hosted by Tertiary piedmont sediments shed from granitic basement outcrops of the northern Mount Babbage Inlier. A study of available regolith stratigraphic...

Much of the eastern side of the very large, 5,745 square km saline playa Lake Torrens, which occupies one of the most arid parts of Australia, was taken under licence by a Northern Territory - based company with the intent of systematically sampling...

Ground within the northern onshore Saint Vincent Basin was taken up by Iluka Resources to re-appraise the heavy mineral sands (HMS) potential of buried Tertiary sediments there, after some unsuccessful exploration had previously been undertaken in the...

Since the first edition of this map was released in May 2007, the collection by the Department's Geological Survey of much new geoscientific data and interpretations arising from South Australian regional surveys and exploration activities has...

An area centred ~50 km south-east of Manna Hill township on the Barrier Highway has been taken up to explore for possible economic buried epithermal, VHMS style copper-gold or other base and precious metal mineralisation which could have formed within...

An area centred ~70 km north-east of Ceduna has been explored by Iluka Resources for possible economic buried Tertiary heavy mineral sands (HM) marine placer deposits. The only work performed on EL 4545 has been the conduct during 2008 of limited...

Exploration for a range of mineral commodities over relinquished parts of a licence area situated 80 km north-east of Orroroo has mainly targeted the Cainozoic to Mesozoic cover rocks for possible sedimentary gold, uranium, mineral sands and...

This regolith map of South Australia consists of three main data components: regolith materials and landforms, regolith material induration (ferruginous, calcareous, siliceous, gypsiferous, mixed and undifferentiated) and surface lag. It was compiled...

Two adjoining areas centred ~ 75 km east of Tailem Bend have been explored for possible economic buried Tertiary marine placer heavy mineral sand (HMS) deposits that may have been formed within the Murray Basin sedimentary succession, as winnowed...

EL 4871, EL 4872, EL 5067, EL 5068 and EL 5182 (the Delamerian Group) were originally granted to Gold Fields Australasia Pty Ltd (Gold Fields) for sediment-hosted orogenic gold exploration. All of these tenements were preceded by an earlier tenement,...

Exploration of two adjacent very remote desert areas located 200 to 220 km north of Cook has targeted possible buried heavy mineral sands marine placer accumulations that may have formed along an arcuate DEM feature interpreted as a Tertiary shoreline...

An area centred ~ 60 km east of Tailem Bend has been explored for possible economic buried Tertiary marine placer heavy mineral sand (HMS) deposits that may have been formed within the Murray Basin sedimentary succession, as winnowed strandings that...

Tertiary Murray Basin cover sediments in an elongate area extending down the eastern side of the River Murray between Coolcha, Mannum and Murray Bridge have been explored for possible economic buried marine placer heavy mineral (HM) sands deposits. A...

A large area in the South-East, extending from Karoonda to Keith, was considered prospective for the accumulation of heavy mineral sand deposits. Exploration, carried out jointly on several contiguous Exploration Licences, comprised an initial review...

Within the subject south-eastern Eucla Basin tenements, Iluka's ongoing exploration has targeted the Tertiary-aged beach sands deposited during the five marine incursions that occurred from the Middle Eocene to the Pliocene, with a focus on exploring...

A number of shallow Neogene salt lakes, that extend in chain-like fashion along the length of the inner Coorong and its hinterland as far south as Lacepede Bay, have been investigated for possible economic evaporitic mineral deposits that may have...

Four exploration licences distributed along the northern and north-eastern edges of Iluka's Group 4 of jointly reported tenements have been fully surrendered, after work performed there recently suggested that their perceived prospectivity for...
