A small area centred ~5 km west of Burra township is being explored for possible buried economic, Monster mine type stratiform copper oxide or copper carbonate deposits, thought to be associated with poorly exposed fault structures and related...

The licence was relinquished following conduct of intensive exploration in the Malbooma area since 1973. Drilling of 514 percussion holes (totalling 21 355 metres) and 29 cored holes (totalling 1 111 metres) defined widespread uranium mineralisation,...

The Curnamona Province has been host to widespread magmatic activity, with several periods of granite emplacement recorded, variously extending from the late Palaeoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic. Mesoproterozoic granites and volcanic rocks occur...

As part of Esso's continued exploration programme for buried Late Proterozoic stratiform uranium deposits in the Uno - Corunna area, detailed geochemical, petrological, thermoluminescence and lead isotope studies were performed on samples obtained by...

A study of the mineralogy and mineral distribution of the Crocker Well area has shown four reasonably well-defined zones which can be distinguished on the basis of mineral composition and temperature of formation. These zones correspond with...

An area located south-west of Lake Frome, which it was thought might be tectonically analogous to the Torrens Hinge Zone, but developed on the opposite side of the Adelaide Geosyncline, has been explored for possible economic Mount Gunson or Olympic...

An investigation has been conducted into the leaching of Crocker Well ore concentrates and the recovery of uranium and thorium from the leach liquor. Approximately 90% of the uranium and 80% of the thorium can be extracted from the concentrates by hot...

This paper provides a formal definition of the Cultana Subsuite, outlining the igneous petrology of the intrusion, its geochemical characteristics, and the nature of hydrothermal alteration and brecciation affecting the rocks. The Cultana Subsuite is...

Portions of regional airborne radiometric and magnetic surveys, plus a small part of the HW-IV seismic refraction traverse, and 20 line km of gravity and ground magnetic surveys, were undertaken by joint venture operator Afmeco as part of its Project...

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...

The GCAS merged datasets are the result of re-gridding and merging the sixteen GCAS TMI, radiometric and DEM surveys' located data, using a single consistent gridding algorithm and spatial origins for each data type. The gridding method used for the...

Exploration for possible epigenetic or stratabound uranium deposits conducted over a wide area of the Cleve Uplands has consisted of acquiring an airborne radioactivity survey with ground radiometric survey follow-up, plus the drilling and geophysical...

A programme of rotary-percussion drilling (11 vertical holes, total 1522 feet) was undertaken at Mount Victoria to further test the South Australian Department of Mines' several previous (in 1954 and 1955) shallow intersections of relatively low grade...

Special Mining Lease 199 was one of three leases taken up by Kennecott Explorations (Australia) Pty Ltd in the Mount Painter district during 1968, to evaluate one known copper-uranium deposit (Shamrock Valley, SML 236), and to search for new...

TARGET: Sedimentary uranium deposits within Lower Tertiary carbonaceous and pyritic quartzose and feldspathic sands which are all probably derived from Lower Proterozoic metasediments of the Flinders and Hutchison Groups, a suite of rocks which in the...

TARGET: Sediment hosted uranium. EXPLORATION: Ground radiometric survey. 13 rotary drillholes, total 780m, and 2 diamond drillholes, total 140m. RESULTS: No ground radiometric anomalies. Weak downhole radiometric anomalies in 3 holes, in...

In July and August 1969 a ground radiometric survey of readings taken at 25 foot intervals on a 100 foot grid was conducted on the eastern flanks of the Iron Prince massif, with the aim of further investigating 3 radioactive anomalies discovered there...

Uranium exploration, undertaken over a small area of poorly outcropping to shallowly subcropping amphibolite facies metamorphosed Early Precambrian basement located near Toweroo Bore, 35 km north-northwest of Crocker Well, has comprised 144 line km of...

In a search for possible economic roll-front sedimentary uranium deposits thought to be hosted by Middle Eocene Pidinga Formation fluvial and lacustrine terrestrial sediments deposited in the eastern Eucla Basin, 13 scout RAB/RC open holes were...
