Dataset comprises an information package which was supplied by the licence proponents to the Executive Board of Anangu Pitjantjatjara, as part of the formal process of seeking their permission to conduct mineral exploration activities within the...

Intensive surface sampling of mineralogical anomalies associated with possible buried intrusive plugs in the Mount Christie region has recovered one only small diamond, now interpreted as a false source indicator and probably due to laboratory...

Exploration for platinum group metals in possible chromite-rich layers within a shallowly buried layered mafic/ultramafic igneous intrusive at Kalanbi, 20 km north of Ceduna, has consisted of RAB drilling in a single fence across the associated...

Exploration licence 5688 forms part of Western Areas’ Nullarbor Project, in conjunction with an adjacent area to the south being sought under licence application ELA 2014/252. It covers part of the Fowler Domain, which is interpreted as a Proterozoic...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...
