New work undertaken on an area located near Manunda Homestead during the current licence period has been restricted by the need to try to attract a joint venture partner, efforts towards which have proved unsuccessful. A geological inspection of the...

Six samples of iron ore, labelled Billeroo Main Peak, were received. It was requested that these samples weighing 310 pound be bulked for subsequent test work. It was requested that the investigation include wet and dry magnetic deparation, Davis Tube...

The South Australian Government Department of Mines requested an investigation into the beneficiation of iron ore from Peeralilla by various methods. Screening gravity and magnetic methods, flotation and roasting have been applied.

Large ferruginous concretions in the South Maslin Sand contain attractive botryoidal masses of iron oxides. They are prized as mineral specimens. Genesis of the concretions probably resulted from dissolution and subsequent precipitation of iron...

Exploration for possible economic hypogene base metal sulphide deposits associated with poorly exposed iron-rich linear outcrops, overlying faulted Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic basement which is obscured by extensive Cainozoic sedimentary cover rocks...

85 samples of potential mineral deposit- related surface ironstones (68 copper gossans, 6 lead-zinc gossans and 11 false gossans) were analysed chemically and examined mineragraphically in polished section to try to determine geological parameters...

Possible economic stratabound or epigenetic lead-zinc or copper deposits, formed in altered carbonate rocks lying marginal to the Wirrealpa Diapir, were the targets of new exploration centred on the area of the old Wirrealpa lead-silver mine....

Samples studied for stratigraphic identification.

Arising out of exploratory drilling carried out by Ironclad Mining in 2012, which aimed to test the shallow subsurface haematite ore potential of an ironstone outcrop located in the central north of the Wilcherry Hill licence area, an unexpected...

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...

This report reviews the available information on the region, and presents a preliminary appraisal of the data supplied by South-western Mining Co. Ltd. Current field and laboratory information has also been included. New geological and geochemical...

Stream sediment sampling, induced polarization surveys and a 44 drill hole rotary drilling program were undertaken over the Anabama Granite. The granite was found to be unmineralized except for greisened portions containing anomalous copper and...

Discontinuous ferruginous bodies appear to have replaced Cambrian calcareous beds along a shear zone with a maximum width of about 100 feet, and a length of 2500 feet. The northern outcrops may be low-grade silicified ferruginous limestone, while the...

Geological mapping and gravity traversing were carried out in the Northern Territory to test possible extensions to the Claude Hills nickeliferous ochre occurrence. Two gravity lows were detected, Zone C commencing in South Australia, and Zone D...

Reports deal with the start of a complex laboratory investigation to trace the petrological development of possibly economic supergene nickel deposits discovered in the Mount Davies area, and to study the unusual mineralogy of the ferruginous ochres...

The reported presence of high geochemical zinc values in the Parachilna Formation rocks exposed there prompted Kennecott Explorations to include the Reaphook Hill outlier of Lower Cambrian sediments into its regional investigation of the stratiform...

Follow-up rotary/diamond drilling (in 2 holes totalling 603 feet) by a new explorer, which aimed to determine the magnetic source for an elongate, 4000 foot long and 400 gammas peak intensity ground magnetic anomaly mapped as occurring to the west of...
