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...

Possible Mesoproterozoic stratabound unconformity - related copper mineralisation of Mount Gunson / Cattlegrid type, and, after 1980, pre-Pandurra Formation stratigraphic level, basement - hosted, Olympic Dam style iron oxide associated...

Possible stratabound, Kupferschiefer - style copper sulphide within the basal sediments of the early Neoproterozoic Tapley Hill Formation was the target of exploration in the Pernatty Ridge area. Aberfoyle's work has comprised a review of existing...

In a search for possible epithermal or sedimentary uranium deposits, plus any base metal mineralisation, in an area located east of Lake Gairdner and approximately 70 km south-west of Woomera, the licensee acquired a 6240 line km airborne...

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...

New work undertaken on EL 4187 during the 2009-2010 licence year has included: • Ongoing documentation and interpretation of MGD 55 & 56 • Drilling of MGD57 to 1243 m at Emmie Bluff prospect • Down hole EM and IP logging of MGD57 •...

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.

After conducting low level aeromagnetic and radiometric surveys plus ground magnetic and gravity surveys during 1980 and 1981, in a search for possible syngenetic or stratiform base and precious metal deposits, Amoco drilled 6 rotary percussion holes...

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 -...

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)...

Samples studied for stratigraphic identification.

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.

A study was made of the lithology and stratigraphy of an almost complete cored section of uneroded Pandurra Formation. The core was sampled at every change in rock texture and then resampled on the basis of standard textural types.

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...

Samples examined for stratigraphic identification.

Follow up of an orientation INPUT survey anomaly with ground magnetic and IP surveys focussed attention on the MG14 area. This report describes the geophysical results and subsequent drill testing (DDH LY3), and their interpretation.

During ongoing exploration for Mount Gunson style economic base metal mineralisation buried on the south-central Stuart Shelf, new work completed by CSR has included the drilling of 59 rotary percussion holes totalling 3782 m in the Winnie Pinnie,...
