As part of a wider search over SA for possible continental salt lake occurrences of NaCO3-rich brines and of fossil crystalline trona beds, presumed to be equivalent to the Lake Magadi (Kenya) / Green River Basin (Utah - Wyoming) style Tertiary...

As part of a wider search over SA for possible continental salt lake occurrences of NaCO3-rich brines and of fossil crystalline trona beds, presumed to be equivalent to the Lake Magadi (Kenya) / Green River Basin (Utah - Wyoming) style Tertiary...

Exploration for possible ancient beach strandline heavy mineral sand placer deposits formed within the Pleistocene Bridgewater Formation has been undertaken in the State's South-East region. This pioneering on-ground work came about after several...

A resistivity survey consisting of four E-W profiles and a follow-up rotary drilling programme (16 holes, total 1456 m) were conducted in EL 121, adjacent to the SA-NSW border, to try to locate possible sedimentary uranium deposits within inferred...

The Six Mile Hill area was one of three areas targeted in the Minerals Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) during 2015-2016. Four holes were drilled in the Six Mile Hill area to test for potential for iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation and to...

A compilation of expert-written articles on all aspects of SA mining history, most of which were presented as papers at the first Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Seminar on Mining Heritage held in Adelaide on 25 March 1986.

Utah Development Co. entered into a joint venture exploration programme with Northland Minerals Ltd in the Kapunda area of South Australia that has lasted from 29 May 1974 to 14 February 1978. Utah has managed this programme, which sought stratiform...

In a search for possible economic roll-front sedimentary uranium deposits thought to be hosted by Middle Eocene Pidinga Formation fluvial and lacustrine terrestrial sediments deposited in the eastern Eucla Basin, 13 scout RAB/RC open holes were...

Exploration for possible buried roll-front or sandstone type sedimentary uranium deposits was carried out over a broad area lying northeast of Lake Frome by a South African - French joint venture. A large reconnaissance open hole rotary drilling and...

A palaeochannel system exists incised into Proterozoic metamorphic and igneous rocks in a NS direction through the eastern portion of EL 121, but no anomalous radioactivity is present.

Orientation geochemical sampling, and 1:25,000 scale geological mapping that included long sectional mapping of four railway cutting bedrock exposures in the Eudunda area, revealed pervasive low grade stratiform copper mineralisation in Sturtian...

Five open rotary holes totalling 614.7 m were drilled and geophysically logged to test a possible, resistivity - interpreted southern extension of the Lower Tertiary Yarramba Palaeochannel. The existence of this additional channel was confirmed, but...

An area located ~140 km north-northeast of Olary has been explored for possible economic buried sedimentary uranium mineralisation hosted by Tertiary palaeochannel sands of the Callabonna Sub-basin. Previous exploration activities had partly defined...

Three adjoining licence areas that were centred approximately 480 km north-west of Ceduna together occupied the northern section of the Ooldea Range over a stepped NW-SE trending outline having an average width of 25 km and a combined total length of...

Iluka Resources is exploring for possible economic heavy mineral (HM) deposits that may have formed in the northern Murray Basin, with a strategy of targeting any mineralised Loxton-Parilla Sand formation sediments deposited during the Pliocene marine...

EL 2870 Ceduna covers 1390 square km located adjacent to the coast near Ceduna on north-western Eyre Peninsula. Minotaur believed that the area, which lies relatively close to the continental Fowler Suture Zone, was prospective for Proterozoic...
