In an area of limited basement outcrop located between 2 and 5 miles north-northwest of Iron Knob township, the Department's surface traverse channel sampling (969'), percussion boring (643’) and diamond drilling (1270’) tested a low grade...

During the period May 27th - June 21st, 1958, the writer visited Western Australia and by courtesy of the Geological Survey of Western Australia and the Commonwealth Bureau of Mineral Resources was guided to a number of the most important manganese...

Greywacke sediments of Cambrian age predominate at and around the Wheal Barton mine. Copper mineralisation, together with varieties of manganese mineralisation, occur along a shear zone in bleached greywackes, which in places have been mined...

In a regional soil sampling survey over Willyama Complex rocks on parts of the Outalpa 1:50 000 Sheet, 2443 samples were collected at 25 metres intervals on 54 lines roughly 1km apart. These samples were analysed for CU, PB, Zn, Au, Mn, Mo, Co, Ni, V,...

Specimens from the Mt Grainger Goldfield include quartzites, sandstones in which kaolinite is believed to represent earlier feldspar, siltstones, shales, diamictites of probable glaciogene origin, granitoids and andesites. Low to moderate temperature...

About 1,500 samples were collected during a stream sediment sampling survey on the Riverton and Eudunda 1:63 360 geological sheets and analysed for Cu, Pb, Zn, Au, W, Mo, Nb, Co and Mn. Rolling means, residual values, correlation coefficients and mean...

Old mines and prospects were located, sketch mapped and photographed. Ultra- violet lamp was used to search for scheelite in Mt McTaggart area and west of Mt Fitton. Scintillometer was used to search for radioactive minerals.

Gold mineralisation occurs near Orama Hill, situated north of Koonamore Station Homestead, and at Kirkeek?s Treasure gold mine on the Nillinghoo Goldfield. These two localities are about 25 km apart, and lie along the axis of the Orama Hill Anticline....

The mines and mineral deposits in the proposed park are summarized from departmental records with list of references and plans available on microfilm.

The principal objective of the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Evolution and Mineral Exploration (CRC LEME) Shields Program and the Primary Industry and Resources of South Australia (PIRSA) Regolith Terranes Group in South Australia is to...

During Year 6 of the project, Trafford Resources designed their drilling program to test the extent of the Pb/Zn/Ag/U mineralisation at the Telephone Dam Prospect, while JV partners Ironclad Mining’s drilling program was designed to define the Direct...

An area centred ~85 km west-northwest of Ceduna has ben explored for possible buried Ni±Cu±Co±Cr±PGE mineralisation of either Thomson Nickel Belt or Nova-Bollinger deposit styles, that may be associated with ultramafic–mafic rocks at four prospects...

An area located in the Worlds End detrital alluvial goldfield district of the north-eastern Mount Lofty Ranges, and centred ~20 km north-east of Burra, is being explored mainly for possible economic stratiform/replacement manganese oxide...

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...

Extensive literature and geological and geochemical field investigations of historic mines and prospects at the Mount Grainger and Oodla Wirra Goldfields have failed to disclose any remaining economic gold occurrences. The sparse native gold occurs...

To date exploration in the Burra region of the Adelaide Geosyncline has focussed on historic copper-gold oxide workings, with the aim of delineating further mineralisation along strike, or sulphide mineralisation at depth. Lately however, rather than...

The continuation during 2010 of exploration of the Palaeoproterozoic bedrock in a small area located 60 km west-northwest of Cowell has mainly consisted of the conduct of three shallow drilling campaigns and the examination and analysis of downhole...
