A large area centred on the Wilkawillina Gorge of Ten Mile Creek, in the central Flinders Ranges near Oraparinna, is being explored for possible buried economic zinc silicate (willemite) epigenetic or replacement mineralisation of Beltana type, as...

An irregular area covering pastoral land ~15 km to the immediate west and north-west of Port Augusta has been explored for possible economic buried IOCG and other significant metallic mineralisation, which could have formed in the vicinity of the...

An area centred ~70 km south-east of Oodnadatta has been explored for possible buried economic giant Broken Hill type (BHT) stratiform Pb-Zn-Ag deposits which might be contained within strongly deformed and metamorphosed Palaeo- to Mesoproterozoic...

In continued exploration for possible economic buried Olympic Dam or Prominent Hill type IOCG style mineralisation that may exist within Proterozoic bedrock, joint venture operator Straits Resources undertook the following work on the project...

Two separate grouped licence areas located to the north and the south-southwest of Coober Pedy have been explored for possible large buried economic basement-hosted IOCG deposits that would be of interest to new SA mineral explorer Vale (the...

The targets of exploration in the Mt Toodla area, situated 50 km south-east of Oodnadatta, were concealed deposits of Olympic Dam style Cu-Au-U-REE and Fe-oxide Cu-Au (IOCG) style mineralisation having less than 200 m thickness of cover. Work...

Exploration undertaken in an area situated 40 km north-west of Tarcoola, targeting possible economic iron oxide - associated copper-gold mineralisation that may have formed within altered near-surface Hiltaba Suite granitic intrusions, has comprised...

Diamond exploration in a region north to north-west of Oodnadatta comprised heavy mineral and geochemical sampling over magnetic anomalies selected from aeromagnetic surveys and further defined by ground magnetometry. Certain of this ground was...

Exploratory drilling to search for heavy mineral sands, performed over an area extending to 160 km north and north-west of Renmark, has targeted marginal marine placer deposits of detrital rutile, ilmenite and zircon in potential Loxton - Parilla Sand...

No significant gold or base metal values were returned from geochemical sampling of quartz and barite veins in the vicinity of the Ediacara Fault, 40 km north-west of Parachilna. Imaging of aeromagnetic data purchased as infill coverage to a 1999...

Sheeted vein type gold, Telfer style gold, and BIF hosted gold and base metals were the targets of exploration carried out in Adelaidean sediments of the Anabama - Radium Hill area. Work included an interpretation of aeromagnetic survey data, auger...

Within the now relinquished licence portions, parts of six traverses of reverse circulation aircore drilling (involving 68 vertical open holes, total 1918.5 m) tested 60 km strike length of interpreted heavy mineral sand - bearing marine beach facies...

The Eukaby mining field area of the eastern Flinders Ranges was explored for Au-Ag-Pb-Zn mineralisation, while geophysical data modelling targetted Olympic Dam style metallogenic systems. Information gained from detailed structural mapping and rock...

The targets of exploration in the Mt Toodla area, located 50 km south-east of Oodnadatta, were Olympic Dam style Cu-Au-U-REE and Candelaria style Fe-oxide Cu-Au mineralisation in Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic metamorphic basement with less...

Rock chip and calcrete sampling were the main methods of exploration for iron oxide - associated copper-gold mineralisation in an area 60 km west of Port Augusta. Initial rock chip sampling returned no anomalous Au values, but gave best results of...

The Thompson Nickel Belt of Canada was considered an analogue for the Fowler Suture Zone on the western margin of the Gawler Craton, 150 km north-west of Ceduna. Here, intensely magnetic zones consisting of cumulus gabbro-diorite and tonalite are...

Archaean, Early and Middle Proterozoic rocks of the north-western Gawler Craton have features which suggest good prospectivity for base metals, precious metals and other commodities. However, outcrop is poor and there has been relatively little...

An area located 45 km west of Whyalla, which is underlain by Palaeoproterozoic and Archaean sediments, metasediments and intrusives, was inferred to have potential to host gold and base metal mineralisation. Interpretation of Landsat images and...

Olympic Dam style Cu-Au-U mineralisation associated with Hiltaba age intrusives, and Tennant Creek style Au mineralisation associated with ironstone units in Hutchison Group metasediments, were the targets in the area surrounding the township of...

An area located immediately east of Lake Frome was considered to be prospective for iron-oxide associated copper - gold - rare earth element (IOCG-REE) mineralisation of Olympic Dam style formed within concealed Mid-Proterozoic granitic basement....
