Paleoproterozoic metasediments of the Hutchison Group, and Lincoln Complex granitoids, were the targets of exploration for gold, base metals, and granite dimension stone in an area 40 km south of Kimba. In reporting year 3 for EL 2858, no field work...

During 2004 MER Geological Survey Branch officers conducted detailed mapping within four small areas of the western Musgrave Ranges, as a follow-on to recently ceased prior company exploration, with the similar aim of evaluating the magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE...

An area centred ~70 km north-west of Tarcoola is being explored for possible buried economic iron ore (particularly haematite DSO) and for buried copper-gold or copper-nickel-chromium massive sulphide mineralisation that may have formed within...

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...

A tenement in the Coulta district of south-western Eyre Peninsula has lately been explored by International Metals, after its prior research had outlined seven areas there as being of prime interest in a search for Archaean greenstone units which...

The multi-licence Mithril - Barrick JV Musgrave Project area is centred 600 km south-west of Alice Springs, within the APY Lands of north-western South Australia. It is considered to be prospective for buried economic Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide mineral...

An area in Far North SA, centred near Mount Irwin on Tieyon Station, is being explored for possible buried economic magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE deposits associated with mafic-ultramafic intrusive rocks of the Proterozoic Giles Complex. Another newly recognised...

To investigate the possible Cu-Ni-PGE mineral sulphide mineralisation potential of a known buried mafic / ultramafic layered igneous intrusive complex situated near Ki Ki in the upper South-East, as well as exploring for base metal mineralisation...

An area located 3 km south of the South Australia/Northern Territory border and 50 km east of the Stuart Highway, on the eastern margin of the Musgrave Block, was considered prospective for nickel and platinoid metal mineralisation hosted by layered...

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...

A 271 square km major portion of the eastern part of EL 5860 Claude Hills, which is located in the extreme north-west of South Australia in the Musgrave Ranges, has now been voluntarily relinquished by licensee Austral Nickel Pty Ltd. This portion of...

Possible craton margin magmatic nickel deposits or iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) type large base and precious metal deposits within buried Proterozoic basement were targeted in an area lying just to the north-west of Coober Pedy. Delays...

Approved PACE Initiative Year 3 drilling proposal DPY3-15 aimed to discover a roll-front style uranium deposit hosted in Mesozoic sandstones flanking the exposed radiogenic Peake and Denison Inliers, that is amenable to mining by in-situ leach...

EL 3413, surrounding the township of Weetulta on the Yorke Peninsula, is located geologically along the prospective south-eastern margin of the Gawler Craton. The licence area, which lies only about 10 km south of Moonta, has several historic mines...

A large area centred ~80 km south-west of Coober Pedy has been explored for possible buried economic iron ore, including inferred DSO haematite mineralisation, and for base metal massive sulphide deposits that may have formed in Proterozoic basement...

EL 4931, which is centred approximately 100 km north-east of Tarcoola, is being explored principally for potentially economic banded iron formation type iron ore occurrences, and for iron oxide - associated copper-gold mineralisation within the buried...

A group of project exploration licences covering the wholly buried Yalata Ultramafic Complex, which occupies an area of approximately 25 km x 75 km that lies partly within the Yalata Aboriginal Reserve to the north-west of Fowlers Bay, are being...

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...
