Samples examined for stratigraphic identification.

During ongoing exploration for Mount Gunson style economic base metal mineralisation buried on the south-central Stuart Shelf, new work completed by CSR has included the drilling of 59 rotary percussion holes totalling 3782 m in the Winnie Pinnie,...

As part of continuing brownfields exploration for extensions to known stratiform base metal mineralisation in the area lying to the west of Pernatty Lagoon, much stratigraphic drilling (210 rotary percussion holes totalling 12,441 m, including 1167 m...

Aerial electromagnetic surveys using the Barringer Mark V 'INPUT' System were flown by CSR Ltd in the vicinity of Mount Gunson in three sorties during 1973 (260 line km), 1975 (3686 line km) and 1977 (1150 line km), in an attempt to remotely locate...

Formation responses in 12 drill holes were studied. SP and PR logs were run for only 6 holes because of highly saline groundwater conditions. No meaningful electrical logs were obtained.

Discusses the influence of sedimentary structures, weathering and mild tectonism on the development of breccia types, the relationship of mineralization to faulting and fracture systems, possible sources of base metals and sulphur and consequent...

A study of formation responses in 22 drill holes.

Ongoing appraisal work conducted by CSR at the company's newly discovered Cattlegrid copper deposit that lies at the top of the Pandurra Formation has included infill rotary percussion and diamond drilling (13 holes for 554 m, including 166 m cored),...

Near Pandurra Homestead on eastern Eyre Peninsula, dispersed secondary copper mineralisation occurs in faulted Upper Proterozoic sediments, along which some 30 shallow pits, probably dating back to the late 1800s, have been sunk. In an effort to...

BHP took out SML 204, covering 970 square miles located due east of the northern Middleback Range, for 2 years from 1/7/1968. The prime objective was to explore there for uranium and copper mineralisation. Work undertaken can be summarised as...

When Getty Oil took over management of the Stuart Range Project licences, it reviewed all of Newmont's drillhole data and undertook reclogging of the drill cores with the aim of correlating stratigraphy across the project area. Starting in October...

An area centred approximately 90 km north-west of Woomera has been explored for possible economic copper mineralisation associated with geophysical anomalies thought to originate within Adelaidean metasedimentary bedrock. After considerable delays and...

This regolith material hand specimen atlas displays 246 images of 212 regolith samples which have been collected over the last 30 years by the authors, present and past Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) staff and members of the Cooperative...

Two company exploration diamond drillholes in EL 543, completed as stratigraphic wells in the Mount Gunson area, were utilised by SADME for conducting well velocity surveys. The aim of this work was to establish a correlation with the data from...

Isolated seismic refraction probes over S.M.L. 315 east of. Pernatty Lagoon revealed refractor velocities often quite different from those obtained over the outcropping rock units near Woocalla siding. However two areas adjacent to a subsurface ridge...

Detailed geological mapping at the Pandurra copper prospect has revealed the presence of significant mineralisation in a fault zone, and has indicated that there is also the possibility of finding copper concentrations along the Whyalla Sandstone -...

Concentrations of copper occur in sandstone (Whyalla Sandstone Member) and dolomite (Woocalla Dolomite) which rest disconformably on an undulating surface of quartzite (Pandurra Formation) in the Mount Gunson area. Several attempts have been made to...

EL 3809 is part of Copper Range's Olympic Domain Project which comprises a group of thirteen tenements located in central South Australia covering areas of the Gawler Craton and Stuart Shelf within and west of Lake Torrens. Across this project acreage...

An area on the Stuart Shelf which is centred ~45 km north-northwest of Mount Gunson and 70 km south-east of Olympic Dam was taken up to explore primarily for possible economic buried Mesoproterozoic basement-hosted copper-gold deposits, perhaps of...
