An observed trend between base metals anomalism in soils and previously identified magnetic and gravity anomalies within inferred Adelaidean basement metasediments present within the eastern part of Mongolata EL 3164 provided the impetus for the...

Basal Umberatana Group glacial tillitic sedimentary sequences and upper Burra Group interglacial arenaceous sediments were explored for possible economic stratabound gold mineralisation in an area located near and to the north of Mintaro, which...

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...

During 2007-2008, the first year of the diamond exploration joint venture with the Filsell brothers in the Paratoo area, Flinders Mines' activities comprised: • acquiring part of a detailed helicopter-borne infill aerial magnetic ('helimag') survey,...

An area centred ~40 km east of Peterborough in the vicinity of Mount Grainger Goldfield has continued to be explored for possible small diamondiferous kimberlite bodies and for buried economic stratabound, structurally controlled and disseminated...

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...

In Phoenix Copper's opinion, although several previous explorers had investigated the Spalding Inlier area, many targets remained insufficiently tested. The principal structural target the company wished to explore is the intersection between an...

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...

An area located on the edge of the ranges north-east of Burra, and centred 20 km east of Whyte Yarcowie, is being explored for possible primary orogenic gold associated with a prominent fold flexure in Adelaidean metasediments that is exposed in the...

Two separate areas situated at a distance to the north-west and north-east of Mount Grainger have been explored for possible sediment-hosted gold, after the licensee used research conducted by CODES at the University of Tasmania (UTAS) to identify...

TARGET: Cross-cutting gold mineralised quartz reefs / veining, primarily in the Tarcowie Siltstone; gold in known mineralised zones in the Saddleworth Formation; and circular features as outlined from Landsat image interpretation. EXPLORATION: Rock...

White clay is won from 5 pits operated by 3 companies for use in white cement and cream brick manufacture with some as a filler / extender. White clay formed by intensive kaolinization of mica schist and fine grained micaceous quartzite. Irregular...

TARGET: Possible economic, open-pit mineable stratiform low grade gold and copper deposits within Adelaidean units of the Nackara Arc, in an area lying west of and including Yunta. EXPLORATION: A detailed geological field reconnaissance, review of...

Exploration Licence 5744 covers 661 square km located ~120 km north-east of Adelaide, on the eastern side of the Mount Lofty Ranges. It forms a part of SeeSaw Resources' Brownlow Project. Basement outcrop within the tenement is limited to Adelaidean...

Copper and gold mineralisation associated with felsic, intermediate and mafic igneous intrusive rocks which have intruded Adelaidean and Cambrian metasediments in the Nackara Arc region has been the target of exploratory drilling conducted with the...

Diamond exploration over an area located approximately 35 km south-east of Yunta was undertaken to assess an interpreted structural environment that may be similar to one existing nearby to the west close to Terowie, in which shallowly buried,...

The PARACHILNA map area (31 to 32°S, 138 to 139.5°E) occupies the central Flinders Ranges which are made up of folded, mostly marine sedimentary Neoproterozoic and Cambrian rocks of the Adelaide Geosyncline, and adjoining plains underlain by Cainozoic...

Large sedimentary phosphorate deposits are unlikely to be found in the Cambrian on Fleurieu Peninsula or the southern part of Yorke Peninsula. Further exploration of the phosphatic Brighton Limestone and Saddleworth Formation type of facies should be...

This investigation was a feasibility study, therefore environmental factors are dealt with in much more detail than would be necessary in a routine geochemical report. Apparently these factors has little significant effect on the results. Spot...

The occurrence, 6 miles west of Kapunda in projected regional fault zone with copper association revealed no mineralization in situ. Minor amounts of barite were noted.
