Iluka Resources’ Eucla Basin Heavy Mineral Sands Project tenement Group 2 consisted initially ELs 3268, 3283, 3322 and 3330, which spanned the south-eastern portion of the Eucla Basin, extending from 24 km to 140 km north of Ceduna. Regionally, the...

EL 2870 Ceduna covers 1390 square km located adjacent to the coast near Ceduna on north-western Eyre Peninsula. Minotaur believed that the area, which lies relatively close to the continental Fowler Suture Zone, was prospective for Proterozoic...

A small licence area located 30 km north of Fowlers Bay in far western South Australia has been explored for possible economic Tertiary mineral sands deposits, but specific activities on it were repeatedly postponed by the licensee not committing the...

A 25% north-western portion of EL 5045, which is centred appproximately 200 km north of Cook, has been relinquished due to perceived diminished prospectivity for Tertiary marginal marine heavy mineral sands. A review of available technical literature...

An area centred ~270 km west of Tarcoola and 25 km south of Maralinga, and lying on Maralinga Tjarutja Aboriginal Land immediately north of the Trans Australia Railway line, was taken up to explore for any large heavy mineral sand placer deposits that...

Exploration of two adjacent very remote desert areas located 200 to 220 km north of Cook has targeted possible buried heavy mineral sands marine placer accumulations that may have formed along an arcuate DEM feature interpreted as a Tertiary shoreline...

An area originally consisting of three separate small sub-blocks which are generally centred ~15 km north-northeast of Ceduna has been explored for possible buried economic Tertiary heavy mineral sands (HM) marine placer deposits. The main intent was...

A small licence area located 170 km north-northwest of Fowlers Bay in far western South Australia is being explored for possible economic Tertiary heavy mineral sands (HMS) deposits, targeting accumulations of rutile, zircon or ilmenite that may have...

The OOLDEA 1:250 000 map area, in the far west of SA, includes portions of the Maralinga Tjarutja Aboriginal Lands, Maralinga Prohibited Area, and Nullarbor Regional Reserve. It is traversed by the Trans-Australian Railway. There is no significant...

The precise geometric definition of palaeochannels on the north-western Gawler Craton, South Australia, is important in the exploration for placers (e.g. gold and heavy minerals), secondary geochemical deposits (e.g. uranium) and even for lignite and...

Heavy minerals concentrated within the Ooldea Sand of the Eucla Basin, and possibly reworked and upgraded by later marine incursions into such deposits, which might have led to their redeposition elsewhere as translocated strandlines that are still...

Exploration for heavy-mineral sand in Tertiary sediments on the south-western flank of the Ooldea Range comprised geological reconnaissance and RC drilling (81 holes, total 1204 m). Up to 3% titaniferous heavy minerals were reported from drill samples.

Shallow Precambrian crystalline basement underlies the greater part of the BARTON 1:250 000 map area. Thicker Neoproterozoic, Cambrian and Carboniferous Permian sediments occur in the northwest, with the southern margin bounded by the Karari Fault...

Exploration of an onshore area located immediately north of Murat Bay aimed to discover beach or shallow marine placer concentrations of zircon-rich heavy mineral sands, possibly formed within significant thicknesses of prospective Upper Tertiary...

This report details work undertaken by Iluka Resources to meet the agreed conditions for grant of PACE Initiative Year 5 exploration drilling project partial subsidy funds. Specifically, Iluka undertook heavy mineral sands exploratory drilling during...

The Cenozoic Eucla Basin is located on the southern margin of the Australian continent, with a present-day basin onshore edge which extends for over 2,000 km from Western Australia into South Australia. The basin’s sediment fill comprises a thin...
