27 contiguous licence areas within the eastern Eucla Basin, that span a combined 21,772 square km of ground between points as far as 90 km north of the Trans Australian Railway, 50 km east of Nullarbor and extending right down to the coastline, and...

An airborne magnetic/radiometric survey was flown over the licence in 1969. Three anomalies located near Peake Homestead Ruins and the Coppertop mine gave disappointing ground survey uranium responses from traverses made with a hand-held...

Geological mapping of the north-western Musgrave ranges was commenced. A reconnaissance survey carried out by Reg Sprigg looking for exposed nickel sulphides in ultramafic rocks of the Mid Proterozoic Giles Complex concluded that there was a lack of...

TARGET: Within a small area centred on Cambrai township, all metallic minerals, but primarily gold which might occur in the Black Hill Norite complex. EXPLORATION: Limited surface rock chip grab geochemical sampling (5) at the Black Hill council...

The major part of the subject 134 square km total area of tenement ground relinquished from EL 5184 on 23/9/2017 contains the Michael Hills copper prospect (Area 11). A large portion of the remainder of the surrendered ground, in a separate block...

In July 2022, Indiana entered into a co-funded agreement with the South Australian Department for Energy and Mining under the Accelerated Discovery Initiative (ADI). The ADI proposal was to carry out a geophysics survey and, if successful, drilling of...

During the report period, licensee Andromeda Metals did no on-ground exploration. During its agreed 3-year earn-in period, joint venturer Investigator Resources undertook the following work described herein: - acquisition of high resolution aerial...

None of 10 elements tested gave geochemical anomalies over known mineralization in Gunyah Lake, throwing doubt on the usefulness of mud sampling as prospecting tool, especially where bedrock is Tregolana Shale. The method could work over areas of more...

A large part of the Harris Greenstone Domain basement tectonostratigraphic block, extending from 10 km to 130 km west of Kingoonya, is being explored for possible buried economic gold, nickel and other base metal mineralisation which may be associated...

During the sixth licence year, in February 2011, new licence owner Marmota Energy Limited ('Marmota') undertook a reconnaissance biogeochemical survey at the Pundinya prospect, collecting 54 x 30 g grab samples of vegetation of Mulga trees, in the...

Iluka Resources has previously been exploring an area located 200 km north-west of Ceduna primarily for buried Tertiary marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands. But due to the poor results obtained from its reconnaissance traverse drilling...

Three Exploration Licences spread across the central and eastern Musgrave Ranges are now being explored by NiCul Minerals Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of PepinNini Minerals Limited) which currently owns 100% of each tenement. The ground held is...

A cluster of adjoining licence sub-blocks taken up in the Yalata region are being explored for possible buried Thompson Belt style magmatic copper-nickel mineralisation which could be associated with large strike-slip fault structures transecting the...

During the fourth year of project licences' joint reporting, for the Theseus Project, Endeavour undertook further RC and diamond core drilling at the Minos prospect on EL 5280, and did detailed auger calcrete geochemical sampling over the Lake...

During the 2015-2016 licence year, the Western Gawler JV Project exploration operator Western Areas Limited (WSA) conducted the first part of a regional reconnaissance bedrock drilling campaign targeting aeromagnetic anomalies which were interpreted...

Special Mining Lease 491 covers an area of poorly exposed Precambrian rocks in the north-western sector of the Gawler Platform of western South Australia. General reconnaissance in late 1969 showed the geology of the area to be dominated by sediments...

Exploration for multiple base and precious metal commodities, possibly associated with magnetic anomalies in the De Rose Hill and Indulkana Range areas, has there identified a substantial Precambrian volcanic and intrusive complex, with rock types...

Pit face sampling and the drilling of a 347 foot diamond drill hole were completed at the Kirkeeks Treasure Mine. The drill hole DDK1 failed to intersect lode material. The most optimistic view of the prospect is that potential exists in the quartzite...

27 rotary drill holes (total 213m.) tested for copper-nickel mineralisation associated with a gabbro margin. It was concluded that copper-nickel values of several hundred parts per million is restricted to a small area near the gabbro/hornfels...
