The Thompson Nickel Belt of Canada was considered an analogue for the Fowler Suture Zone on the western margin of the Gawler Craton, 150 km north-west of Ceduna. Here, intensely magnetic zones consisting of cumulus gabbro-diorite and tonalite are...

Initial exploration efforts in the Ungalootanna Hill area, 80 km north of Marla, focussed on nickel-copper mineralisation hosted by Proterozoic ultramafic rocks. Following the acquisition of the licence by Mithril Resources, an assessment of the...

The area of EL 2544, centred 90 km north-east from Adelaide, was considered to be prospective for porphyry/skarn type and iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) systems related to high level intrusive igneous plutons. Initial exploration...

Buried Archaean Mulgathing Complex rocks, comprising metamafics, ultramafics, granites, mafic gneisses and possible greenstones, were the target host for gold, copper and nickel mineralisation in the Mount Finke - Malbooma area, south-west from...

No field work was done on the subject renewed EL 5455 during Years 11 through 15. Geophysical data were further assessed with a view to selecting possible future drill targets.

No field work was done during all of licence Years 6 to 13, until the tenement was eventually surrendered. An office -based assessment was performed on ground geophysical data collected during the earliest years of tenure, allowing some new targets to...

Exploration Licence 3096 “Brooker” covering an area of 682 square km lies east of Elliston on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It is one of three adjacent tenements that form the “Brimpton Lake Project”; the other two are EL 2662 (initially...

Mt Harcus EL3368 is located within the Palaeoproterozoic Musgrave Province. The region is recognised by PepinNini Minerals Ltd as prospective for magmatic Ni-Cu Sulphide mineralisation, platinum group metals, base metals, diamonds, and precious...

Field work performed on the subject tenement during licence Year 8 included the conduct of Aboriginal heritage clearance surveys by the APY Traditional Owners to grant access for geological mapping and the acquisition of a trial seismic survey, as...

Exploration for possible economic vein-style and structurally controlled gold with Adelaidean bedrock sediments in an area located between the towns of Yunta and Manna Hill was conducted using low cost remote sensing, geochemical and geophysical...

Two adjoining exploration Licences 2840 “Colona North” and 2841 “Barton” were acquired by Adelaide Exploration Limited to search principally for nickel, copper and platinum group precious metals (PGM) mineralisation within Proterozoic and Archaean...

Inco Resources ('Inco') has been exploring the outcropping portion of the Ordovician Black Hill Intrusive Complex for possible Voisey's Bay style nickel, copper and platinum group element (PGE) mineralisation. This work commenced on 30/9/2004, when it...

EL 3413, surrounding the township of Weetulta on the Yorke Peninsula, is located geologically along the prospective south-eastern margin of the Gawler Craton. The licence area, which lies only about 10 km south of Moonta, has several historic mines...

Exploration for possible economic vein-style and structurally controlled gold with Adelaidean bedrock sediments in an area located south of Manna Hill township was conducted using low cost remote sensing, geochemical and geophysical methods. The...

EL 4278 was Southern Uranium's first mineral exploration foray into the northern Yorke Peninsula. The subject tenement was pegged in January 2009 in order to secure ground surrounding the northern reaches of the Pine Point Fault. This particular...

An area extending for ~10 to ~60 km westwards from Kingoonya, comprising three separate sub-blocks, is being explored for buried Archaean greenstone belt - hosted primary metallic mineralisation. Work undertaken during the first year of tenure...

An area comprising three adjacent but separate sub-blocks in the Mount Davies district of the central Musgrave Ranges within South Australia was taken up afresh by the Metals X Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary Austral Nickel Pty Ltd, because...

Mt Woodroffe is an irregularly shaped tenement block covering the central portion of the Musgrave Ranges in the northern part of South Australia. The Ranges lie between the Anangu communities Pukatja and Amata, approximately 550 kilometres by road...

An area centred about 80 km south-west of Coober Pedy is being explored for possible economic buried coal seams in Permian strata and for economic iron ore deposits or massive sulphide base metal mineralisation (copper, nickel) that may have formed...
