TARGET: Evaluation of the diamond-bearing potential of known lamprophyre intrusive bodies in the Terowie area. EXPLORATION: Reconnaissance loam and drainage indicator mineral bulk sampling and geochemical sampling, petrographic and mineralogical...

Exploration for diamondiferous kimberlites and stratabound base metals in the Kapunda area comprised regional drainage and rock-chip geochemical sampling. Reconnaissance stream sediment sampling returned only low metal values, and sampling of basic...

Exploration for diamonds in the Abminga area, 150 km north-northwest of Oodnadatta, comprised field investigations of aeromagnetic anomalies using ground magnetics, loam and stream gravel sampling. Loam sample results were negative, several chromite...

During licence Year 11, the lithological logs were digitised and are now presented for the remaining eight holes of the first drilling program (completed in 2002), together with the holes from the second (2003), and third (2004) drilling programs....

TARGET: Possible diamondiferous kimberlites subcropping under Cainozoic cover in an area located 110 km north-east of Glendambo. EXPLORATION: Acquisition and interpretation of 6759 line km of airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, regolith heavy...

Includes Petrography of granulites and associated rocks. Appendix in: Mirams, R.C.

This report reviews the available information on the region and presents a preliminary appraisal of the past nickel exploration data supplied by South Western Mining Co. Ltd. Current field and laboratory information has also been included. The study...

'Industrial minerals' are those minerals or assemblages of minerals which are economically important because of their physical or chemical properties, rather than their metal or energy content. The term is synonymous with 'non-metallic minerals', and...

A small area located approximately 20 km north-northwest of Orroroo was taken up to explore for possible diamondiferous kimberlite intrusions. Three known kimberlite dykes, one of which is diamondiferous, trend in a north-westerly direction through...

Exploration for possible diamondiferous kimberlites in an area located immediately north-west and west of Woomera was undertaken to follow up promising reports of numerous kimberlitic indicator minerals detected by CRA Exploration in previous work...

Diamond exploration undertaken within the southern of two adjoining licence areas taken up along part of the western flank of the Peake and Denison Ranges, that is centred ~100 km south-east of Oodnadatta, was aimed at discovering the source(s) of...

A regional geological interpretation of newly-acquired magnetic data for the majority of the Musgrave Block (central Australia) has been compiled at 1:250 000 scale. This report outlines the methodology and results of interpretation. Highlights of...

During a search for possible diamondiferous rocks within an area lying to the north of William Creek and abutting the south-eastern side of the Peake and Denison Ranges, stream sediment sampling and a low level, 5300 line km aeromagnetic / radiometric...

As part of a search for possible alluvial diamonds, within gravels of probable Tertiary age which may have been derived from a nearby area known to contain kimberlitic rocks, 4 stream sediment samples and 7 bulk samples were taken and processed to...

The Gawler Craton has, for some time, been known to have potential for kimberlite discoveries. Recently, Orogenic Exploration Pty Ltd found a complete range of kimberlitic indicator minerals, and five small diamonds, on Flinders Island, about 40 km...

Exploration over the eastern flank of the Musgrave Block to the north of De Rose Hill, for potential buried Giles Complex layered intrusive bodies, comprised SAEI data interpretation, airborne magnetic, radiometric and electromagnetic surveys, ground...

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...

Diamond exploration which was undertaken across practically the whole of Kangaroo Island, barring national and conservation parks and reserves, sought to test the potential of the island to contain kimberlite pipes and / or associated rock types, and...

Airborne magnetic / radiometric and EM surveys conducted west of Woomera did not reveal any promising diamondiferous kimberlite targets, and stream sediment and soil sampling carried out over a resultant uranium / potassium anomaly revealed no...

Exploration for diamonds, undertaken in an area centred 60 km east-northeast of Lyndhurst which had not been searched for this commodity previously, comprised the acquisition of aeromagnetic/radiometric and helimag surveys, and gravel and loam...
