TARGET: Coal horizons developed within Mesozoic sediments on the south-western margin of the Great Artesian Basin. RESULTS: Two vertical rotary mud holes (total 122 m) were drilled, transecting Mesozoic sediments and reaching basement at relatively...

In a search for possible Proterozoic - Cainozoic unconformity - related, concealed sedimentary uranium deposits in an area of the Eucla Basin located 60 km north of Fowlers Bay, 17 rotary holes totalling 711.8 m were put down along 4 traverses across...

Drilling of 5 holes, plus a resistivity survey, indicate low potential for sedimentary uranium.

Over the past three years crystalline magnesite has been found in the Mount Fitton area in many places, in a 12 miles long belt which follows the lower edge of a dolomite mass of Late Proterozoic age. The Mount Livingston deposit with indicated...

In a search for base metals within an area located east of Peterborough, detailed stream sediment sampling (2722 samples) and statistical analysis of the results defined several discrete anomalies of interest that warrant geological inspection and...

The Creek Junction talc deposit, located 4 miles south-east of the No. 5 talc deposit and the Mount Fitton mining camp, had been worked on a small scale prior to 1963. In view of the comparatively narrow widths of the exposed talc lenses and their...

Drilling, groundwater sampling and geophysical logging of 3 holes totalling 1500 feet did not detect any anomalous radioactivity.

Renewed exploration of the former Mutooroo mines area and adjacent localities which also lie within outcropping Willyama Complex basement rocks, searching for economic deposits of massive copper sulphides, has comprised intensive regional and detailed...

In exploration conducted over an area of basin margin Tertiary sedimentation located south-west and south of the Beltana railway station, initial analyses of groundwater samples taken from 44 water bores (maximum assay value 40 ppm U) indicated...

Includes brief historical notes. Extensive exploration for gold, tin, nickel, base metals and uranium.

Geophysical 1D/2.5D forward and inverse modelling was performed on the EM data from airborne electromagnetic (AEM) TEMPEST surveys conducted in the Cariewerloo, Tarcoola and Frome Embayment regions and from a VTEM survey flown in northern Eyre...

MSDP03 is one of four diamond drillholes drilled during 2015 in the Six Mile Hill area as part of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP). The hole was drilled vertically to 262.6 m depth over the period 25/9/2015-2/10/2015, and intersected two...

This report presents the results of a Geological Survey of South Australia drillhole core samples logging project addressing a selection of the cored historical exploration and stratigraphic holes that have penetrated probable Delamerian Orogeny -...

MSDP01 is one of four diamond drillholes drilled during 2015 in the Six Mile Hill area as part of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP). The hole was drilled vertically to 1116.8 m depth over the period 31/7/2015-15/9/2015, and intersected six...

The Cenozoic Eucla Basin is located on the southern margin of the Australian continent, with a present-day basin onshore edge which extends for over 2,000 km from Western Australia into South Australia. The basin’s sediment fill comprises a thin...
