The March-April 1987 drilling programme, of 25 angled RC holes totalling 2437 m, tested the gold content of the known mineralised quartz veins and also attempted to determine the distribution of gold within the surrounding Tarcoola Formation....

A preliminary regional tectonic model and a broad stratigraphic scheme for the basement and cover rocks on the newly defined Gawler Craton are briefly summarised and are depicted on accompanying maps within the text, being conclusions drawn by SADM...

Exploration for possible buried epithermal or hydrothermal gold deposits within the large variety of Archaean, Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic basement rocks present in an area located from 20-30 km east of Tarcoola has targeted the potential of...

A biogeochemical sampling survey consisting of 20 lines (407 samples) was undertaken by the JV partners during August 2009, targeting buried gold mineralisation. Black Oak and Pearl Bluebush were the dominant deep-rooted plant species sampled and, to...

Exploration Licence 3089 is located in the central Gawler Craton and is centred near the township of Tarcoola. Continuation of tenure over the same area, from former ELs 1827 and 2510, was renewed by Gravity Capital Ltd on 2/6/2003, and full licence...

Exploring the earth resources in the Harris Greenstone Belt (HGB) region is complicated by a regolith cover produced by a long and complex history of landscape evolution. The present surface of the HGB indicates little of the complex palaeochannel...

This report details newly acquired Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb isotopic data for three samples from two drill holes in the Fowler Domain of the western Gawler Craton. During the late 1980s,stratigraphic drilling done by the...

Portions of regional airborne radiometric and magnetic surveys, plus a small part of the HW-IV seismic refraction traverse, and 20 line km of gravity and ground magnetic surveys, were undertaken by joint venture operator Afmeco as part of its Project...

Following the partial relinquishment of 481 square km of EL 859 on 30/3/1983, exploration continued for stratiform Pb-Zn within the Carpentarian Tarcoola Beds within an east-west trending trough, or half-graben, seen on magnetics in the Wilgena Hill...

Reconnaissance, helicopter-borne geological mapping and rock chip geochemical sampling were carried out within the Yellabinna Regional Reserve, 70 km northeast of Penong. No anomalies were identified, but the area retains considerable Cu-Au...

Regional calcrete sampling carried out 100 km south-west of Tarcoola disclosed weak gold anomalism in the south-eastern portion of the licence, coincident in part with gravity and aeromagnetic features. Detailed follow-up sampling is warranted.

Calcrete sampling on 1 km and 200 m grid spacings was carried out during 1996 (266 samples) and 1997 (2050 samples) over areas underlain by rocks of the Mulgathing Complex, Hiltaba Suite, Gairdner Dyke Swarm and Gawler Range Volcanics, that surround...

The main focus of a recently begun gold exploration programme on the Tarcoola Goldfield has been the Tarcoola Blocks mine, where gold occurs in subvertical quartz reefs, up to 2 m wide, which cross-cut folded Mid-Proterozoic sandstone and carbonaceous...

Field geological mapping of an 800 square mile area located immediately north-west of the Tarcoola Goldfield was carried out at a scale of approximately 1:84,480 (3/4 inch = 1 mile). A continuation of the regional geology from previously mapped areas...

During intervals within the period 5 November 2017 to 2 May 2018, all of the TARCOOLA 1:250k map sheet area, plus the northern half of the CHILDARA 1:250k map sheet area, were flown under contract to the SA Government and Geoscience Australia as part...

This report presents the results of a study jointly conducted by the Geological Survey of South Australia and CSIRO Mineral Resources which aimed to enhance the expression of geological structure in geophysical images and to derive depth to magnetic...

Geochronology enables us to determine the age of rocks and minerals. The variety of isotopic geochronological techniques give complementary information on, for example, the timing of igneous or metamorphic crystallisation, as is often the case for the...
