Under a joint venture agreement made between North Flinders Mines and Dampier Mining Co. (a BHP Exploration subsidiary), operative over the 7 square mile SML 705 between 14/9/1973 and 14/3/1974, at least 3500 feet of additional appraisal diamond...

Aquitaine Australia Minerals Pty Ltd (Aquitaine) entered into a joint venture with North Flinders Mines on 21 August 1975, over an area defined by Exploration Licence 272 (ex EL 153). The area included two main prospective zones for copper deposits:...

A reassessment of Marathon Petroleum's 1979 regional stream sediment sampling programme led to the decision to resample a number of areas within EL 871. The Mt Neill and Mt Fitton areas were chosen, as a result of possible similarities with the...

As part of a regional search for economic small-scale deposits of rare earth metals in the Mount Painter district, geochemical prospecting revealed several atypically high background niobium values, in stream sediments derived from watercourses known...

Surface copper carbonate mineralization occurring along a presumed shear zone was initially discovered some 4 miles southwest of the Parabarana Cu prospect by North Flinders Mines in late 1971, during a programme of detailed geochemical stream...

The Curnamona Province is exposed in the Willyama, Mt Painter and Mt Babbage Inliers, but much is obscured by younger sedimentary cover. It comprises a late Palaeoproterozoic metasedimentary and metavolcanic succession (Willyama Supergroup) with some...

During intensive exploration for an economic copper resource in the Parabarana Hill area from 1968-1975, North Flinders Mines Ltd approached SADM for direct assistance in proving the indicated deposit. SADM drilled 2 diamond drill holes, from...

The Mount Painter basement igneous complex is dominated by granite intrusions and volcanic rocks, most of which are fractionated and have a high uranium content. Apart from Mount Painter itself, where uranium was mined more than 60 years ago, there...

The review reports in this data package present a synthesis of geochronological information for southern Australia, i.e. South Australia and geologically associated areas in New South Wales and Victoria. The data given represent the outcomes of much...

Copper mineralisation in the vicinity of Parabarana Hill located at the extreme north-eastern end of the Flinders Ranges was worked intermittently between 1899 and 1917 for the return of small tonnages of high grade secondary ore. In the past decade...

More than 275 selected rock chip samples of Precambrian basement or near-basement igneous lithologies were described in detail petrographically and, if they were found to contain suitable minerals, then analysed using radiometric methods, the aim...

Continuing detailed investigations of various copper prospects in the far northern Flinders Ranges, principally in the vicinity of Mount Fitton, were pursued by conducting surface geological mapping, IP and magnetic surveys, and rock chip and stream...

Parabarana Prospect lies in the north-east corner of Mount Painter Block in the North Flinders Ranges, 100 miles east of Lyndhurst siding. Disseminated copper mineralization with traces of molybdenum occurs in altered acid rocks to form a tabular...

The enigmatic Radium Ridge Breccias (Drexel and Major, 1987) of the Mount Painter Inlier in the northern Flinders Ranges have fascinated geoscientists since the first major attempt to understand the geology during and immediately after World War II....

The Curnamona Province crustal block was host to widespread late Palaeoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic magmatic activity, with several periods of granite emplacement on record as having occurred during the Mesoproterozoic. Granitic and volcanic...

The CALLABONNA map area includes the southern end of the Strzelecki Desert and the north- eastern Flinders Ranges, between latitudes 29° to 30° S and longitudes 139° 30' to 141° E. Cameron Corner adjoins New South Wales and Queensland in the...
