An area centred ~25 km south-east of Olary township is being explored for possible economic buried IOCG type and gold-only mineralisation, as well as for possible stratiform Broken Hill type lead-zinc-silver occurrences, and latterly also, for Radium...

An area consisting of three separate sub-blocks located ~20 to 35 km north-east of Olary and ~20 km east of Cutana is being explored for possible economic gold as basement shear and vein hosted style deposits, as well as for possible extensions of the...

52 square km or ~24.9% of the former area of EL 5585 has been relinquished.

On 19th May 2021 Sinosteel SA secured ADI funding to carry out the comprehensive Curnamona Geochemical Sampling Program utilising the skills of the in-house geologist together with academic research collaboration to perform rigorous geochemical...

EL 3019 located in the Curnamona Province of South Australia covers a portion of the north-south trending buried palaeotopographic high known as the Benagerie Ridge. The north-south elongate licence area occupies part of Quinyambie Station, and is...

Five conjoined exploration licences covering the buried central and northern Benagerie Ridge basement province that is comprised predominantly of Mesoproterozoic volcanic and intrusive rocks, have been explored for possible economic iron oxide -...

Gem-quality varieties of beryl occur rarely in South Australia and exist in insufficient quantities to be of current economic interest. Non-gem grade beryl, by contrast, is a widespread accessory mineral in many pegmatites of South Australia, but, at...

A version of the Russian-invented CHIM electro-geochemical prospecting technique, which has lately been developed at Guilin University, China, was trialled in field surveys conducted at the Challenger gold mine, and at the Kalkaroo Cu-Au-Mo and Goulds...

This field guidebook provides brief geological summaries to sites in South Australia that were visited during the 2006 Broken Hill Exploration Initiative pre-conference excursion. Figures show the location of the field area and approximate location of...

Four areas on the south-western margin of the Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic Willyama Inliers were mapped in detail to elucidate the nature of their lithostratigraphy, structure and mineralisation. These basement inliers are composed of...

The excursion to the Old Boolcoomata region of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province, in South Australia presents most of the stratigraphy of the late Palaeoproterozoic Willyama Supergroup and evidence for its complex deformation during the ~1600 Ma...

In May 2004 the Minister for the Department of Environment and Heritage purchased Bimbowrie Station pastoral lease. The station was purchased because it encompasses part of the Olary Ranges, which is part of the environmentally important Broken Hill...

The aim of this report is to provide a summary of the present status of the geology of the Olary Domain, Curnamona Province. It gives a comprehensive, referenced description of all known interpretations of Willyama Supergroup basement stratigraphy,...

Transects made across three discrete granite plutons which outcrop in the Olary Domain of the Curnamona Province have revealed that varying geochemical and lithological zones are common within the individual plutons. The Ninnerie Hill Pluton and the...

South Australia is well recognised as being significantly enriched in uranium. During 2013–2014, South Australia produced 4399 t of uranium, representing 80% of Australia’s total uranium production of 5512 t, and equating to 9.2% of the world’s total...

South Australia is well recognised as being significantly enriched in uranium. During 2010–11, South Australia produced 4276 t of uranium, representing 60% of Australia’s total uranium production of 7035 t, and equating to 11% of the world’s total...

Former sheep station ‘Bimbowrie’, situated in the Olary Ranges, South Australia, was purchased by the South Australian Government as a conservation park in 2004. It has had a long history of mining, mineral exploration and geoscientific investigation....

The Curnamona Province has been host to widespread magmatic activity, with several periods of granite emplacement recorded, variously extending from the late Palaeoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic. Mesoproterozoic granites and volcanic rocks occur...

The Curnamona Province crustal block was host to widespread late Palaeoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic magmatic activity, with several periods of granite emplacement on record as having occurred during the Mesoproterozoic. Granitic and volcanic...

South Australia is well recognised as being significantly enriched in uranium. During 2008/2009, South Australia produced 4 613 t of uranium, representing 45% of Australia's total uranium production of 10 311 t, and equating to 9.5% of the world's...
