In a continuation of diamond and base metal exploration of newly discovered carbonatite / kimberlite intrusive bodies in an area located immediately north of Orroroo, these bodies were examined petrographically and analysed to compare their...

Stratabound, chemically precipitated Telfer - type replacement style vein gold was the target of exploration undertaken over an area 25 km north-west of Yunta, which contains good exposures of Neoproterozoic Umberatana Group clastic metasediments that...

Copper and gold exploration comprising outcrop, stream sediment and soil geochemical sampling, and the conduct of ground magnetic and IP surveys, plus RC percussion (67 vertical holes, total 6624 m) and diamond cored tail drilling (in 2 holes, total...

Investigation of part of the nose of the Mount Grainger Anticline where minor gold and copper occurrences are known, and anomalous Au, Cu, Pb, Zn, Co, Mn, Ba and Fe values have been detected by stream sediment surveys. 692 soil and 63 rock chip...

Since 1972, 13.5 tonnes of copper ore have been handpicked from malachite and azurite on cleavage planes exposed in trenches in Tarcowie Formation siltstone of Marinoan age, 7 km south of Orroroo. The deposit was sketched, mapped and 9 samples taken.

Investigation of the Upalinna Diapir, located 20 km east of Wilpena Pound in the Adelaide Geosyncline, has identified a number of structural and sedimentary features normally associated with evaporite diapirs. The Upalinna Diapir is a small,...

Fully HQ/NQ cored SADME stratigraphic drillhole Mount Rufus 1 was sited on the western margin of the Karinya Syncline to investigate the nature of the Adelaidean - Early Cambrian Normanville Group contact, and the mineral potential of the area. It...

This report summarizes information on 10 South Australian mineral deposits with individual aggregate gold resources and/or historic production of 1 tonne or more. By far the largest is the Olympic Dam Cu-U-Au-Ag deposit, with a measured and indicated...

An area located approximately 80 km north-east of Orroroo was assessed for its potential to contain alluvial and hard rock gold deposits. Quartz veins developed within a narrow zone in the Tarcowie Siltstone at the historic Erina prospect have high...

A large, 722 square km area of the central Adelaide Hills extending between Jupiter Creek and the Warren Conservation Park is being explored for diamonds, gold and base metals, in host geological structures that appeared to be associated with...

A multi-licence project area centred on the historic abandoned Burra copper mine is being explored for possible economic, buried Burra type copper oxide and copper carbonate mineralisation that may have formed within Neoproterozoic metasedimentary...

Extensive literature and geological and geochemical field investigations of historic mines and prospects at the Mount Grainger and Oodla Wirra Goldfields have failed to disclose any remaining economic gold occurrences. The sparse native gold occurs...

To date exploration in the Burra region of the Adelaide Geosyncline has focussed on historic copper-gold oxide workings, with the aim of delineating further mineralisation along strike, or sulphide mineralisation at depth. Lately however, rather than...

Exploration Licence 5999 “Cartarpo” covers an area of 112 square km in the states mid-north between Hallett and Booborowie, northwest of the township of Burra. Historic mine workings “Cartarpo Mine” was worked for copper and cobalt between 1867-1872,...

Investigation of the quartz - (sulphide) gossan vein systems within Proterozoic metasedimentary bedrock at the alluvial Teetulpa Goldfield north of Yunta, for stratigraphic and structural clues to loci of primary gold mineralisation elsewhere in the...

The Eukaby mining field area of the eastern Flinders Ranges was explored for Au-Ag-Pb-Zn mineralisation, while geophysical data modelling targetted Olympic Dam style metallogenic systems. Information gained from detailed structural mapping and rock...

A north-south trending, high angle fault structure associated with mineralisation at the historic Burra Mine was considered by Redfire Resources to be prospective along strike as a host for further economic copper mineralisation of similar...

A small area centred ~14 km north-east of Yunta that straddles the Barrier Highway has been explored for possible economic vein-style and structurally controlled gold which may have formed within Adelaidean bedrock sediments. During the 2013-2014...

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...
