Exploration was undertaken for lode and alluvial tin mineralisation which might exist within ground adjacent to the abandoned Mount Mitchell tin mine, and also for reef gold in altered granite and dolerites outcropping adjacent to the numerous small...

Airborne magnetic/radiometric surveys and follow-up gravity surveys carried out in a search for possible Olympic Dam type orebodies have indicated depths to magnetic basement in excess of 1000 m in the Lake Hart area of the Stuart Shelf. The...

Uranium mineralisation was first discovered at the old Shamrock Copper Mine during a systematic search of old mine dumps by the South Australian Department of Mines in 1955. Follow-up investigations located a small high-grade uranium lode (Valley...

Aeromagnetic, ground magnetic and EM surveys, with follow-up rock chip, stream sediment and soil sampling, RAB drilling (688 holes, total 17,553 m) and RC drilling (12 holes, total 1149 m), have defined an extensive zone of anomalous base metal...

Exploration undertaken over an area located 60 km west of Port Augusta targeted possible Broken Hill or Aggeneys - Gamsberg type massive Pb-Zn deposits within Early Proterozoic Hutchison Group banded iron formation metasediments, and also any Early...

Ongoing copper exploration in the Mount Gunson area was directed primarily at locating economic stratiform mineralisation in the Tapley Hill Formation, which overlies Pandurra Formation and the associated Cattlegrid orebody. New work comprised...

Ongoing exploration for Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, over an area centred ~15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, during this period comprised 3D geophysical modelling of possible source geometries for, and RC drilling (10 holes, total...

WMC's Stuart Shelf exploration activities from 1975 to 1985 have sought mainly Olympic Dam style mineralisation (copper - uranium - precious metals in haematitic breccia host rocks), with lesser emphasis directed at: possible distal analogues of the...

Exploration for Olympic Dam-style mineralisation, undertaken over an area centred ~15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead on the Stuart Shelf, which includes WMC's formerly partly tested Emmie Bluff prospect, has comprised the acquisition of ground...

Exploration of an area situated between Whyalla, Iron Knob and The Bluff overlooking Myall Creek, 20 km south-west of Port Augusta, aimed to test for Olympic Dam - type Cu-U-Au mineralisation associated with products of igneous activity located in and...

Following the signing of an eighteen month exploration joint venture agreement with Stockdale, farminee Mobil Energy Minerals undertook continuation of the uranium search over the anomalous ground lying east and south-east of Lake Gilles, besides...

Following a review of existing regional geophysical and geological data for the north-western Stuart Shelf, grid-based gravity and ground magnetic surveys were run to further outline two broad gravity highs associated with discrete magnetic anomalies,...

The South Australian Department of Mines and Energy (SADME) commissioned the South Australian Centre for Remote Sensing (SACRS) to undertake a digital analysis of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data in an attempt to locate prospective areas for...

The purpose of the work described was to compare and contrast the petrography, accessory minerals, and absolute ages of 25 granitic and allied rock samples collected from widely scattered localities in South Australia. The processes that are...

In the course of the programme of sampling of rocks for age determination on Northern Eyre Peninsula, an opportunity was taken to check certain stratigraphic relationships, with particular reference to the age of the Tent Hill Formation and Corunna...

The Australian Precambrian stratigraphy is discussed with the aid of rock correlation data obtained from the Bureau of Mineral Resources and radiogenic isotopic age determinations made by the Department of Geophysics, Australian National University....

The sedimentary environment of Cambrian and Marinoan shelf sediments in South Australia is outlined. Tables are presented showing the distribution of Cu and Pb in the various facies of these sediments. Low grade copper mineralisation in some Marinoan...
