During the sixth year of the project, licensee Adelaide Resources did not do any exploration directed at gold or base metals that might possibly occur on the subject tenements. However, its joint venture partner Quasar Resources undertook significant...

Iluka Resources has been exploring the four subject areas, located east of the townships of Streaky Bay and Ceduna, since April 2004, as part of a continuing regional search for possible economic, zircon-rich Tertiary marine placer mineral sands...

Iluka Resources has been exploring the subject area, located east of the townships of Streaky Bay and Ceduna, since October 2003, as part of a continuing regional search for possible economic, zircon-rich Tertiary marine placer mineral sands deposits...

An area centred ~150 km west of Coober Pedy, that is located mostly north-west of and that also has a small part lying immediately south-east of the Karari Fault, a major crustal structure which has controlled deposition at the southern limit of the...

Within the subject south-eastern Eucla Basin tenements, Iluka's ongoing exploration has targeted the Tertiary-aged beach sands deposited during the five marine incursions that occurred from the Middle Eocene to the Pliocene, with a focus on exploring...

A number of tenements on central northern Eyre Peninsula are being explored by Adelaide Resources and its joint venture partner Newmont Mining for possible economic buried deposits of gold, copper and other base metals which may have formed in the...

An area centred ~50 km west-northwest of Tarcoola is being explored for possible economic palaeochannel - hosted secondary uranium deposits, as well as for possible hydrothermal gold mineralisation which may have been emplaced within siliciclastic...

Two separate tenements in the Challenger district which are now wholly owned by Marmota Energy Limited are being explored for possible economic buried Challenger style gold mineralisation that may be present within Archaean basement, and also, within...

An area centred ~140 km north-west of Tarcoola and ~20 km north of the Challenger gold mine has been explored for possible economic high grade occurrences of palygorskite (synonym attapulgite) clays which may have formed in Tertiary palaeochannels and...

An area located just to the east of the edge of the Nullarbor Plain, occupied by many scattered large and small salt lakes surrounded by sand dunes, with Precambrian basement [of the western Gawler Craton] subcropping near the surface, has been...

TARGET: Possible heavy mineral placer or sedimentary uranium deposits within the Narlaby Palaeochannel in the Nunjikompita - Hiltaba areas on western Eyre Peninsula. EXPLORATION: Reverse circulation drilling traverses (50 holes totalling 1213 m),...

After a regional review of the absorbent clay mineral potential of known palygorskite and attapulgite - bearing Middle Tertiary palaeochannel sediments in an area centred 110 km south-west of Coober Pedy, a possibly economic partly-exposed attapulgite...

No technical data. Exploration is for palygorskite - bearing clays of the Garford Formation.

TARGET: Possible heavy mineral sands emplaced within Tertiary sediments in the Wirulla, Poochera, Inkster and Streaky Bay areas. EXPLORATION: Reconnaissance 10-15 km spaced and infill 100 m spaced reverse circulation drilling to pre-Tertiary basement...

Literature reviews, plus studies of photogeology and of drillhole data, have confirmed the existence of palaeochannels and of the selective accumulation of Tertiary lignites within a broad area that surrounds and lies to the north and west of Lake...

TARGET: Heavy mineral sands in the Eocene Hampton Sandstone of the Eucla Basin. EXPLORATION: A review of Landsat data, aerial photographs and topographic maps to located fossil Tertiary coastal strandlines, plus reverse circulation drilling (97 holes...

TARGET: Palygorskite (absorbent clay) in playa lakes within the Garford Palaeochannel. EXPLORATION: Trenching and 10-20 kg bulk sampling of known dolomitic palygorskite occurrences (15 backhoe cuts in seven lake depressions, to 3.6 m below surface,...

During the report period, licensee Andromeda Metals did no on-ground exploration. During its agreed 3-year earn-in period, joint venturer Investigator Resources undertook the following work described herein: - acquisition of high resolution aerial...

During licence Year 11, the lithological logs were digitised and are now presented for the remaining eight holes of the first drilling program (completed in 2002), together with the holes from the second (2003), and third (2004) drilling programs....

TARGET: Sedimentary uranium in Tertiary paleochannels draining the western margin of the Gawler Craton, and in sediments of the Wilkinson Trough. Base metals in Proterozoic basement rocks. EXPLORATION: Rotary drilling (48 holes totalling 3213 m),...
