Exploration of the Tarcoola Gold Field by Aberfoyle Resources began in mid-1984, following a partial relinquishment of other ground at licence renewal, when some promising gold assay values were detected from rock and mine dump sampling. Geological...

In 1978 exploratory rotary drilling (11 holes, total 629 m) for inferred sediment-hosted roll-front uranium orebodies buried beneath salt lake topographic depressions east of Tarcoola intersected low levels of uranium (max 14 ppm) at fresh water /...

During licence Year 12, following encouraging results made by its continuing exploratory drilling, Gunson Resources was able to negotiate a joint venture over the Mount Gunson Project tenements with Falconbridge Limited through its subsidiary Noranda...

TARGET: Possible Witswatersrand - style, conglomerate - hosted gold-uranium deposits within Middle Proterozoic Tarcoola Formation conglomerates, plus possible Alligator River - style hydrothermal uranium deposits emplaced over apparently disrupted...

Continuing investigation of the sedimentary uranium potential of the Tertiary Warrior Palaeochannel, in an area 40 km west of Tarcoola, initially comprised undertaking a test radon emanometry survey over a site of known uraniferous roll-front...

Exploration of an area extending from 20 km south to 35 km south-west and west of Tarcoola was designed to assess the potential of Archaean to Middle Proterozoic volcanics, granites and sediments for possible gold, base metal or tin deposits of...

No exploration was carried out in an area located east of Lake Labyrinth, because the reduced area that was granted to CRA is, on its own, regarded as unprospective due to the eastwards increasing thickness of cover sequences masking Middle...

TARGET: Gold in the Mount Finke region. EXPLORATION: A photogeological study, aerial magnetic and radiometric surveys, image processing of aeromagnetic data reprocessed by the BMR, a regional geophysical interpretation, ground magnetic traverses,...

TARGET: Base metals and gold in Precambrian basement concealed beneath aeolian sand cover near Mount Finke, 65 km south-west of Tarcoola. EXPLORATION: - rock chip sampling; - interpretation of existing regional aeromagnetic and gravity data; - a 530...

Comprises details of the operations, field acquisition, results and interpretation of the seismic and gravity surveys. The seismic survey aimed to extend results of earlier surveys and to search for anticlinal structures. The accompanying detailed...

After conducting low level aeromagnetic and radiometric surveys plus ground magnetic and gravity surveys during 1980 and 1981, in a search for possible syngenetic or stratiform base and precious metal deposits, Amoco drilled 6 rotary percussion holes...

Gold exploration within EL 1390, located south of the Tarcoola and Earea Dam Goldfields, targeted possible Archaean greenstone - hosted gold deposits associated with later intrusive mafic rocks of high magnetic susceptibility, similar to occurrences...

Exploration work included geophysical surveys, reprocessing of airborne radiometric data, and rotary and diamond drilling (237 holes totalling 5975 m; total depths from 3-55 m) in a search for sedimentary uranium in Tertiary palaeochannels, and gold...

TARGET: Gold in Lower Proterozoic rocks of the Tarcoola Formation and part of the Mulgathing Complex, possibly as a metamorphosed equivalent of the high grade gold orebodies of The Granites (Tanami Desert, NT). EXPLORATION: Interpretation of aerial...

An investigation of tectonic controls of gold mineralisation in quartz veins at Tarcoola recommended the further study of : - brecciated zones (in which reefs and veins exhibit an increased gold concentration) to establish their structural...

Testing of the stratabound base metal potential of the basal Pandurra Formation section, in an area located 40 km north-east of Kingoonya, involved drilling down into the pre-Pandurra basement with 4 vertical percussion holes totalling 878 m. This...

The Tarcoola Joint Venture was formed in December 1986 to explore and redevelop the Tarcoola gold mine. An exploration and mine rehabilitation program included detailed underground surveying, geological mapping, systematic sampling and drilling....

Gold mineralisation at the Tarcoola prospect occurs within quartz veins occupying extensional fractures and faults cutting through the quartz sandstone and claystone of the Late Proterozoic Tarcoola Formation. Most of the past gold production has...

The base metal and uranium potential of a concealed Proterozoic basement high near Bulgunnia Homestead was evaluated using geological and hydrogeochemical reconnaissance and regional geophysical interpretation approaches. Seismic, ground magnetic and...
