As part of a regional search for possible buried Olympic Dam type, Middle Proterozoic basement-hosted base and precious metal deposits, a prominent aeromagnetic anomaly located just to the east of Pinery Dam was delineated and its source modelled by...

Three small licence subareas located approximately 85 km east of Tarcoola were assessed by a consultant, via desktop studies of available geoscientific data, for their diamond potential. It was concluded that the thick sedimentary cover of the...

Three small licence subareas located approximately 80 km north-east of Woomera were assessed by a consultant, via desktop studies of available geoscientific data, for their diamond potential. It was concluded that the thick sedimentary cover of the...

A licence area consisting of two separate sub-blocks located on the plains extending to the west of the Middleback Range on north-eastern Eyre Peninsula was taken up to explore for possible economic buried deposits of stratabound magnetite iron ore...

An area located approximately 50 km west of Port Augusta has been explored for economic epithermal gold and silver mineralisation following the discovery of such mineralisation a short distance to the north on the licensee's adjoining EL 3307 / 4475....

Between July 2015 and April 2016, the Geological Survey of South Australia, in collaboration with the Deep Exploration Technologies Cooperative Research Centre (DET CRC), Minotaur Exploration Limited and Kingston Resources Limited, carried out a...

The Six Mile Hill 1:75 000 Map Sheet was produced as part of a mapping program integrated into the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) along the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges. The objective of the mapping program was to provide a regional...

The revised digital geology map of the Cultana 1:100 000 map sheet and accompanying geological descriptions in this report are the first components of the 2nd edition PORT AUGUSTA 1:250 000 map sheet to be completed. The subject map sheet occupies the...

Ground magnetic, ground gravity and electrical geophysical surveys were carried out during base metal exploration of SAEI-identified structural and aeromagnetic anomalies located along the northern margin of Lake Gairdner, searching for epithermal...

Interpretation of existing geophysical and drillhole data, including core chip re-assaying and petrography, was carried out for four areas located approximately 60 km north-west of Woomera. Interpreted geophysical features of the basement are...

A review of existing geophysical data was carried out over an area west of and extending for 90 km south of Woomera. Further aerial magnetic surveys are seen as necessary to define areas of thin Pandurra Formation and younger cover, and to locate...

Exploration targets were gold and base metals in Adelaidean and basement rocks, 20 km southwest of Mount Gunson. Regional and infill calcrete sampling did not reveal any areas worthy of follow up, and geophysical interpretation indicated depths to...

The area surrounding the town of Glendambo, 260 km north-west of Port Augusta, is underlain by a prospective crystalline basement composed of Proterozoic Gawler Range Volcanics, Hiltaba Suite granite and Gairdner Swarm dykes, buried beneath a variable...

Initial investigations undertaken in the Garford area, 170 km north-west of Tarcoola, comprised lag and soil geochemical sampling, ground magnetic surveying, and petrographic descriptions of outcrop samples. Follow-up aircore and RAB drilling (78...

A buried dipolar kimberlite target was detected west of Woomera by aeromagnetic and ground magnetic surveys. Sampling of surface gravels for diamond indicators and microdiamonds proved inconclusive. Aircore drilling (2 holes, total 143 m) identified...

The main focus of a recently begun gold exploration programme on the Tarcoola Goldfield has been the Tarcoola Blocks mine, where gold occurs in subvertical quartz reefs, up to 2 m wide, which cross-cut folded Mid-Proterozoic sandstone and carbonaceous...

The Dingo Hill prospect lies within the eastern Gawler Craton, approximately 90 km west of Port Augusta. EL 3579 licensee Hindmarsh Resources is exploring for possible economic secondary stratiform uranium mineralisation associated with regional...

This report presents the results of a study jointly conducted by the Geological Survey of South Australia and CSIRO Mineral Resources which aimed to enhance the expression of geological structure in geophysical images and to derive depth to magnetic...
