Ongoing exploration for economic epigenetic and syngenetic copper occurrences in the vicinity of the Worumba Diapir, east of Hawker, has concentrated on field mapping, soil and channel sampling and shallow percussion drilling (47 holes for 3755+ feet)...

Exploration for possible sheeted vein type gold, Telfer - style gold, and BIF hosted gold and base metal sulphide deposits that may have formed in Adelaidean metasediments occupying the area between Anabama and Radium Hill, 10-30 km south-east of...

TARGET: Possible buried epithermal or hydrothermal gold deposits in the Anabama Hill area. EXPLORATION: An airborne magnetic survey (line spacing : 250 m; altitude : 80 m) covering ELs 1102, 1163 and 1234 was flown by Aerodata Pty Ltd in October...

Possible hydrothermal gold associated with ironstone/siderite veins within NE-trending fault zones 80 km north-east of Hawker was the exploration objective. A review of historical gold exploration in the area, undertaken by two consultants, was...

An aeromagnetic anomaly and nearby gravity anomaly identified in Palaeoproterozoic basement 17 km south of Mingary were tested for base metal mineralisation of Broken Hill or Olympic Dam type by performing a gravity survey and by drilling 7 percussion...

This ADI funded programme consisted of exploration drilling, geophysics programs and aboriginal employment relating to copper exploration conducted over the Mt Craig Project in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia. Exploration activities were...

TARGET: Gold . as Telfer-style stratabound mineralisation at the contact between Tapley Hill Formation and Tarcowie Siltstone; . as mineralisation of large scale, placer type in the Appila Tillite and Wilyerpa Formation; and . as hydrothermally...

In the central Flinders Ranges, Neoproterozoic and early Palaeozoic rocks are found outcropping within a series of broad, open, dome and basin-shaped folds. This region contains most of the diapiric structures in the Adelaide Geosyncline, many, but...

PEL 41 was granted to a deliberately SA-based new venture exploration company consisting of Chairman and well-known Emeritus Professor of Geology Eric Rudd, four other founding honorary and unsalaried directors, and 100 or so individual speculative...

An airborne spectrometer/magnetometer survey of the Upper Proterozoic rocks of the northern Bibliando Dome, covering 877 line miles at approximately a height above ground level of 300 feet and line spacing of 1000 feet, was conducted by joint venturer...

The Bibliando Dome area 50 km east of Hawker was investigated by WMC because it showed similar regional gravity and magnetic features to those in the Olympic Dam area, and possessed minor but possibly significant Cu-Pb-Ag-Au mineralisation at the...

Exploration for possible economic Olympic Dam - type epithermal/hydrothermal or Zambian Copperbelt - type stratabound/replacement base metal deposits, in an area located approximately 40 km south-east of Yunta, focussed on magnetic anomalies and...

Unworked mine reveals copper of limited extent laterally occurring as minor narrow veins and impregnations of malachite and azurite in interbedded quartzite and pebbly siltstone. Copper carbonates may have formed from sparsely dispersed sulphides in...

The Parachilna 1:250 000 map area is about 250 road miles north of Adelaide, South Australia, and includes the eastern shore of Lake Torrens, the central Flinders Ranges and part of the Lake Frome Plains. The ranges are composed of folded Adelaidean...

Includes an outline of the Adelaidean stratigraphy, and the underlying igneous and metamorphic rock types, and brief, mainly historical review of the economic geology.

Adelaidean and younger rocks of the Yunta, Winnininnie, Oakvale, Mutooroo, Ballara, Wadnaminga, Olary and Manunda one mile areas are summarised.

The Pualco Range is 45km south-south east of Yunta, South Australia, and contains 3300m of a formation (?Appila Tillite, Precambrian, Adelaidean) characterised by massive tillite with quartzite beds. This forms the base of the Umberatana Group and...

An area of high country in the far northern Mount Lofty Ranges was taken under licence to try to find the primary source(s) of widely dispersed detrital gold known from Recent and Tertiary cover sediments in the region, while focussing mainly on...

South Australia Ludi Mining Pty Ltd (“SALM”) acquired Exploration Licence 4619 “Coward Springs” to explore for large Mesoproterozoic copper/gold/uranium deposits analogous to Olympic Dam, which is located approximately 120 km to the south. The licence...

The Scott Hill (EL 3587) licence area, centred about 80 km north-west of Manna Hill, is the westernmost of 5 adjacent tenements held by PepinNini Minerals within the eastern Adelaide Geosyncline close to where it abuts the Curnamona Province. This...
