A small area located 15 km north-east of Beltana was explored for possible economic stratabound or epigenetic/hydrothermal base metal deposits associated with Adelaidean and Cambrian calcareous/dolomitic strata and Willouran diapiric structures. Work...

During June-July 1972, 35 shallow vertical rotary percussion drillholes for a total penetration of 877 m were completed within the Ediacara Fault Zone to test for economic base metal mineralisation, the majority of the holes being sited at locations...

Several mineral claims were pegged over base metal deposits in class A and B. Environmental areas, northeast of Blinman. Copper, lead and barite deposits were inspected and mapped. Includes petrography and mineragraphy of 11 samples. Mineralization is...

Oraparinna or Bunkers Hill mine is the largest operating underground mine in SA and has produced more than 50% of all barite and nearly 90% of industrial grade barite mined in SA. It has been the largest supplier of industrial grade barite in...

56 whole rock major and trace element geochemical analyses of Adelaidean and Cambrian sedimentary rock drill core samples recovered from 6 diamond drillholes are presented. Many of the samples are carbonate - rich, and their lithologies include...

A small area located 45 km north-east of Leigh Creek, which covers the sites of numerous small historic diggings made by prospectors searching for copper and lead-zinc-silver mineralisation, is now being explored afresh for possible economic...

Appraisal of the Beltana zinc deposit continued during the current licence period, principally by diamond drilling (6 holes, total 2570 feet) aimed at delineating blind extensions to the main orebody on its southern side. The drilling was very...

Exploration for possible economic concealed Beltana mine type stratabound lead-zinc-(silver) mineralisation, and for other diapiric and associated basic igneous intrusion - related base metal and/or gold occurrences, was carried out over a small area...

A small area centred ~30 km north-northeast of Leigh Creek and the central Telford Basin coalfields, has been explored for possible economic diapir-related stratabound occurrences of base metals and gold. During the first licence year, the only...

Cross Keys Mining Pty Ltd were granted EL 5847 on 9th September 2016. EL 5847 is in the Northern Flinders Ranges and covers approximately 67 square km. Both copper and gold have been worked historically within the tenement area. Within the tenement...

During the first year of its evaluation of the Beltana and Aroona mining properties on which it has taken out an option, Perilya undertook the following intensive work programme aimed at locating buried extensions and repetitions of the willemite...

An area located to cover the Ediacara Range and Mount James Range has been explored to determine if known vein occurrences of barite might be of sufficient quality to be mined and sold for drilling mud additive. No field work occurred during the...

Economic deposits of Mississippi Valley type stratabound lead-zinc mineralisation within in Cambrian limestones were the targets of exploration undertaken on and near the Wirrealpa Diapir. A preliminary field reconnaissance had shown that surface...

Renewed exploration by E-Z of the area surrounding the Beltana zinc mine has investigated the possibility for finding deep, unweathered Cambrian or Proterozoic carbonate-hosted zinc-lead sulphide mineralisation. It was considered that this target had...

As a part of searching for economic deposits of sediment-hosted copper (SHC) mineralisation that might have formed within rocks of the Adelaide Rift Complex Neoproterozoic sedimentation sequence occupying an area located due east of Lyndhurst in the...

TARGET: Possible diapirism-related gold, base metals and diamonds in the Warraweena area, located 10 km south-east of Copley. EXPLORATION: Reconnaissance gravel and stream sediment BLEG sampling, plus geochemical tests for signatures of possible...

Continuing exploration for economic stratiform base metal deposits in an area approximately 30 km north-east of Copley has outlined the presence of persistent traces of disseminated chalcopyrite, galena and pyrite within green shales and dolomitic...

Exploration undertaken in an area of practically no outcrop that is situated south of the Ediacara Range, on the eastern side of Lake Torrens, has aimed primarily at investigating the Viburnum Trend (Mississippi Valley) - type mineral potential of...
