Numerous base metal occurrences and historic mines occur in the Mt Lyndhurst area, hosted mainly in Neoproterozoic rocks of the Adelaide Geosyncline. Investigations at several prospects have included detailed mapping plus soil and rock chip sampling....

Re- sampling of mining spoil heaps at the Willowie cobalt prospect, 7 km north of Melrose, repeated Co/Cu/Zn values obtained by previous explorer's assays in the mid-1990s, but failed to provide an incentive for attracting a new joint venturer to fund...

Gold and base metal exploration conducted near the SA Lower North township of Bute, 140 km north-west of Adelaide, comprised the conduct of IP and ground magnetic surveys and RC drilling (4 holes, total 350 m). Two holes drilled on magnetic anomaly...

A review of existing mineral exploration data pertaining to an area located 50 km north-east of Blinman indicated that geochemical copper anomalism is associated with the Mount Roebuck Fault and the Pinda Diapir. The potential for finding supergene...

No targets were developed from interpretation of existing aeromagnetic data over an area centred around the township of Burra. 73.15% of the original area of the subject licence has now been relinquished.

Exploration, initially looking for rare metal elements within beryl, tantalite and ilmenorutile suite mineral occurrences, was carried out in the vicinity of diapiric breccia structures intruded by leucogranite in the area between Arkaroola Village...

Auriferous quartz/haematite/manganese oxide veins within fine-grained Upper Proterozoic metasedimentary rocks in the Benda Range area, 15 km south-southeast of Mannahill, were investigated by regional surface rock chip geochemical sampling, costeaning...

Rock chip sampling carried out over magnetic targets located approximately 35 km east of Hawker identified anomalous Cu, and minor Zn and Ni. No significant base metal anomalism was detected from stream sediment sampling, and only one anomalous gold...

The Dustholes mine area MLs 5040-5042 cover numerous small mine workings developed along the surface trace of an asymmetrically folded layer of Adelaidean quartzite that contains auriferous quartz and limonite veins. All excavations have been...

No work performed. Relinquished portions of the licence were considered to have low potential for economically viable Olympic Dam and Tunkillia style copper mineralisation, a conclusion based on the outcome of literature research, reconnaisance field...

Exploration over part of the Nackara Arc region, within two now relinquished licence sub-areas located respectively 15 km north of Oodla Wirra and 10-20 km south and south-east of Paratoo, has sought economic Telfer-type stratabound gold deposits...

Ongoing exploration of abandoned historic mine workings and the surrounding area at the Mountain of Light prospect, located approximately 2 miles east of Copley, was aimed at delineating an economic copper oxide/carbonate - mineralised orebody and any...

PACE Initiative Year 2 funding, to assist with drilling two deep holes on the Carra-east anomaly located near Salt Creek, 8 km west of where the Carrapateena Arm southern shoreline meets central Lake Torrens, was granted to RMG Services in May 2005....

Exploration work undertaken within an area located 80 km north of Yunta and just to the south of Baratta has concentrated on two regional targets: Cainozoic sediments hosting possible alluvial gold, evaporite and uranium deposits, and Neoproterozoic...

During a one-month free appraisal period granted over certain current mining claims situated approximately 1.5 miles south-east of Copley, Horizon Explorations for its option take-up evaluation conducted prospect geological mapping at 1:2400 scale,...

The reports comprising this data release package describe exploration for economic deposits of base and precious metals that have possibly formed within Neoproterozoic metasediments, the underlying Palaeoproterozoic basement, and in Cambrian carbonate...

Exploration for possible economic stratabound/hydrothermal copper and other base metal deposits in an area located on the northern margin of the Murray Basin, south-west of Yunta, failed to find evidence of diapiric breccia and did not reveal any...

Ground magnetic surveying undertaken just to the north of the Neuroodla railway station, on the western margin of the Flinders Ranges near Hawker, has failed to substantiate the presence of a previously recognised residual aeromagnetic anomaly....

Exploration of the area around the margins of the Oraparinna Diapir for commercial barite deposits has consisted of aerial photographic studies, plus ground geological traverses of photo-interpreted fault structures, and geological mapping, trenching...

In a search for possible economic epithermal / stratiform / metamorphic base metals and gold within the Weekeroo Inlier, detailed geological mapping, rock chip sampling and an office evaluation of previous exploration were carried out for the Weekeroo...
