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...

Exploratory drilling carried out by BHP Billiton (BHPB) during the 2009-10 project reporting year took place at six prospects thought to have good IOCG mineralisation potential, based in part on earlier drilling results and also on refined target...

Exploration for possible economic concealed Beltana mine type stratabound lead-zinc-(silver) mineralisation, and for other diapiric and associated basic igneous intrusion - related base metal and/or gold occurrences, was carried out over a small area...

A previously undrilled area of the Stuart Shelf centred about 80 km west-northwest of Andamooka and 50 km north-east of the Olympic Dam mine is being explored for possible economic buried IOCGU mineralisation that may be hosted by Mesoproterozoic...

Interest in an area near Mount Christie Siding was stimulated by the 1993 MESA Barton Bedrock Drilling Programme, which detected anomalous gold, chromium, base metals and platinoid metals in layered ultramafics. Initially, tenement-wide calcrete...

No new work - description of regional geology of project area only.

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...

After BHP Billiton (BHPB) gained ownership of five of the subject exploration licences, and later was granted another three in its own right, the licence group as a whole (now called the Macfarlane Project) continued to be explored primarily for...

An area centred approximately 30 km south-west of Woomera was taken up to explore the IOCG mineralisation potential of an isolated, circular outline regional gravity anomaly called the Island Dam prospect, seen to have a semi-coincident magnetic high...

No field work - desktop technical studies only, plus negotiations with local stakeholders and with potential joint venturers, were carried out over the 4-year tenure period.

In a search for possible economic uranium and/or base and precious metal deposits occurring in an area lying adjacent to the north-eastern shoreline of Lake Torrens, operator UOG, as an agreed option-holder over the subject EL 3725, undertook a...

Archaean to Proterozoic ultramafic igneous intrusions and granite masses associated with the Yarlbrinda Shear Zone, which are interpreted as being potential hosts for gold, nickel, chromium and platinum group elements, were the targets of exploration...

Exploration for possible economic deposits of epithermal/hydrothermal gold, plus precious metals and base metals, which might have formed in poorly outcropping Archaean and Proterozoic basement, commenced with a detailed interpretation of SAEI imaged...

In its successful application to PIRSA for a grant of PACE Initiative Year 4 drilling project funding, Alliance Craton Explorer announced that it had generated an extremely attractive geophysical target with potential for Mesoproterozoic basement -...

As part of an exploration project targeting possible large-scale opal occurrences hidden at depth beneath marine shale outcrops in the Stuart Range 'Breakaway' country, the subject licence was taken up to cover certain ground lying adjacent to the...

A licence consisting of three separate small sub-blocks that cover a large number of freehold broad-acre farms in the Bute - Agery - Moonta South district has been explored for possible buried economic IOCG mineralisation, which may have formed on or...

An area of the central Gawler Ranges located immediately west of Lake Gairdner has been explored primarily for possible sandstone-hosted uranium mineralisation that may have formed with reduced Tertiary sediments that unconformably overlie the...

Exploration for possible buried economic Ernest Henry - Olympic Dam style IOCG mineralisation in the Nuckulla Hill area, 120 km north-east of Ceduna, was initiated following interpretation of new SAEI aeromagnetic and radiometric data. Regional...

An area consisting of two separate sub-blocks, centred approximately 60 km west-northwest of Woomera, was taken up to explore the IOCG-U mineralisation potential of the concealed Mesoproterozoic metasedimentary cover and underlying Meso- to...

A small area centred ~10 km north-west of Whyalla, straddling the Iron Knob Road and extending northwards from there, has been explored for possible buried economic IOCG mineralisation that may have formed in Proterozoic basement rocks. During the...
