In a search for possible economic repetitions of Cattlegrid and MG14 - style copper sulphide mineralisation, or for any buried analogues to Western Mining Corp.'s recently discovered copper deposits on Roxby Downs Station, ongoing exploratory work...

All previously collected rock specimens were reclassified and discussed.

This report is intended to be a convenient single reference to the Cattlegrid ore deposit geology. It represents an updated summary of a large amount of data, gleaned largely from internal company reports. The subject matter relates mainly to the...

Exploration for possible Olympic Dam type base metal sulphide deposits within the pre-Adelaidean basement underlying an area 100 km north-east of Kingoonya initially included making over 100 rock unit density and magnetic susceptibility measurements...

Ongoing exploration for possible Mount Gunson - type base metal occurrences has included percussion drilling on a metal ratio geochemical anomaly identified proximal to inferred buried Beda Volcanics at Charlinga (10 holes totalling 1218 m), plus the...

Formation responses in the 2 study areas and comparisons with earlier logs from the Bookaloo area and PL 32 have led to the recognition of diagnostic features in the identification of different formations. More data are required before geophysical...

During licence Year 15 (2008-2009), activities at Mount Gunson comprised: - pegging of three Mineral Claims at the MG 14 deposit in December 2008; - acquiring part of a larger project-wide ground gravity survey during April-May 2009 (510 stations...

The mineralised ore zone at Cattlegrid occurs above a buried land surface of the Pandurra Formation quartzite bedrock. The sulphide mineral depositional sequence shows progressive enrichment in copper at the expense of iron or primary mineralization....

Summary of geological knowledge to date, including mineralogy, paragenesis and ore handling problems.

Drill holes OK81 to OK106 located MG14 type deposits in Tapley Hill Formation outliers near Birthday and 3.5 km SE of Bellamy Wells. The area has potential for other syngenetic deposits but more stratigraphic information is required.

Includes geological logs for the following drillholes: Mount Gunson to Canegrass Dam area: 3-14-1P to 3-14-46P (Mount Gunson Mines, 1972). Canegrass Dam area: 3-14-19P to 3-14-41P (Pacminex, Feb 1972); TOC1 - TOC4 (Pacminex, Nov 1976); SP1 -...

16 diamond drill holes tested the distribution and grade of copper mineralization occuring in the Woocalla shales. Drilling results suggest that no economically viable copper deposit exists in the Gully due to the low grade, high overburden and...

Incorporates the results of mapping in the No. 1 Shaft, Cattlegrid mine, and of logging of the 3 horizontal drill holes collared from Drives 3 and 4. Data is also given on the fracture mapping (fracture counting and mineralized fracture orientations)...

Geological, mineralogical and sulphur isotope studies point to 3 distinct periods of mineralization, and suggest that the bulk of the sulphides in the 6 areas examined have precipitated from sulphide of biological origin.

4 specimens were examined for stratigraphic identification.

Geological mapping indicates that the Magazine Hill clay deposit belongs not to the Tregolana Shale, but to a claystone unit at the base of the Whyalla Sandstone. Extensions of the deposit could occur beneath a small plateau of Whyalla Sandstone...

14 cored holes have intersected copper mineralization in shaley facies of the Woocalla Dolomite, and extending up into dark claystone at the base of the Whyalla Sandstone. The mineralised rocks occupy a shallow depression in the post-Pandurra erosion...
