The reported presence of high geochemical zinc values in the Parachilna Formation rocks exposed there prompted Kennecott Explorations to include the Reaphook Hill outlier of Lower Cambrian sediments into its regional investigation of the stratiform...

Investigation of some isolated coarse-grained jaspilite outcrops and likely intervening subcrop, in an area 12 miles west of Iron Baron near the Middleback Range, sought to identify a currently economic iron ore resource of more than 60 Mt existing...

A total of 3074 square km or ~86.25% of the originally granted area of EL 266 which borders the north-western side of Spencer Gulf has recently been relinquished by BHP after one year of work, due to its now perceived diminished prospectivity for...

Four diapiric structures located in the central Flinders Ranges near Blinman were explored for characteristic indications of large, disseminated porphyry-type copper deposits located within or closely associated with diapiric breccia. Reconnaisance...

A largely soil and dune-covered area bordering the eastern side of the Nullarbor Plain near Lake Tallacootra was investigated initially for possible Precambrian metasedimentary iron ore ocurrences, that may be associated with a number of narrow...

Follow-up rotary/diamond drilling (in 2 holes totalling 603 feet) by a new explorer, which aimed to determine the magnetic source for an elongate, 4000 foot long and 400 gammas peak intensity ground magnetic anomaly mapped as occurring to the west of...

Reconnaissance geochemical exploration for possible economic stratiform copper deposits hosted by Adelaidean and Lower Cambrian sediments in an area of the northern Flinders Ranges located east of Blinman has consisted of aerial surveys,...

Investigation of reported radiometric anomalies associated with sub-economic iron mineralisation at the Bob Nob prospect, which is situated approximately 8 miles north-west of Arkaroola Homestead, has comprised ground magnetics and scintillometry with...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by PIRSA during July 2012 to process HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data acquired over the Mount Painter region of SA on 28/3/1998. The nominal pixel size acquired was 4.5 m x 4.5 m, within a surveyed area of...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by Mega Hindmarsh during April-May 2008 to process HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data acquired over the Corunna - Pandurra - Myall Creek area of SA on 16/3/1998. The nominal pixel size acquired was 4.7 m x 4.7...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by PIRSA during April 2011 to process HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data acquired over the Peterlumbo district in the southern Gawler Ranges region of SA during March 2011. The nominal pixel size acquired was...

Seismic refraction investigations, which represent the first application of seismic methods to be made within South Australia, were initiated during August 1955 by the SA Department of Mines in an attempt to determine the subsurface extent of the new...

An extensive search for economic iron ore deposits has been made on Eyre Peninsula by the South Australian Government. Originally the search was made in the Middleback Range area, which was until recently the source of all of the iron ore used in...

A new deposit of massive, specular micaceous haematite, found associated with Neoproterozoic diapiric thrust faults and with hydrothermally recrystallised calcarenite members of the Etina Formation, was mapped at the Rainy Day prospect, which is...

Previous drilling by WMC at the Kartanya prospect, 30 km west of Rudall in the central-southern Eyre Peninsula, yielded several high grade Fe intersections with up to 1% P and 140 ppm Zn. Reassaying of drillhole samples returned reduced levels of...

Iron ore mineralisation similar to that mined in the Middleback Range has been investigated at the Hercules prospect, located 90 km west-northwest of Whyalla, where a large, high intensity aeromagnetic anomaly and associated 12 km long outcrop of...

Ongoing exploration for possible buried Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, conducted over an area of the Stuart Shelf located 15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, has comprised RC drilling (20 holes, aggregate penetration 1768 m) and diamond...
