The Boolooroo licence area is located ~ 40 km north-east of Leigh Creek township, in the ranges lying immediately east of the Telford coal basin, are being explored for possible economic occurrences of marble rock which are believed to hold enormous...

In late 2011, regional scale satellite recorded Aster multispectral data was purchased to cover the entirety of Perilya’s northern Flinders Ranges Project acreage. The data acquired was intended to be used to locate areas of potentially unmapped...

The subject two relinquished portions of EL 4538 form part of a much larger tenement package currently being explored by Perilya, primarily looking for zinc silicate mineralisation similar to the Beltana deposit, although the northern Flinders Ranges...

Two separate blocks of ground together covering 32 square km or ~36.4% of the former area of EL 5234 have been relinquished. No field work was done by Perilya on these blocks: the only activities were a desktop geological data compilation, and the...

No work was completed on the subject three tenements during the 2010 reporting period, because the JV's focus then was to explore areas closer to the Beltana mine. However, it was believed that several other high priority base metal - prospective...

Much of the eastern side of the very large, 5,745 square km saline playa Lake Torrens, which occupies one of the most arid parts of Australia, was taken under licence by a Northern Territory - based company with the intent of systematically sampling...

A 47.4 square km area, representing about 37% of EL 4358, has been relinquished due to the inferred significant cover there of Quaternary alluvial and aeolian overburden. No field work was conducted on this area as part of a regional search for...

Exploration Licence 2687 ‘Yandina Hill’ is located 500 km north of Adelaide in the North Flinders Ranges. The area lies within the northern part of the Adelaide Geosyncline, a deformed sedimentary basin of Late Proterozoic to Middle Cambrian age,...

The subject licence, located approximately 60 km south-east of Leigh Creek, forms part of a much larger tenement package currently being explored by Perilya, primarily looking for zinc silicate mineralisation similar to the Beltana deposit, although...

EL 5520 is being explored as part of a regional search for possible economic Beltana-style zinc silicate hydrothermal replacement mineralisation hosted by brecciated Cambrian or Neoproterozoic bedrock carbonates. No field work was completed by licence...

Early Cambrian marine sediments in the Arrowie Basin, South Australia, were deposited on a continental margin platform, and have been divided into five unconformity bounded depositional sequences and subsequences, ranging in age from basal Cambrian to...

Cambrian sediments in the Arrowie Basin were deposited on a rifted continental margin. Four distinct depositional regimes, ranging from a western, tectonically stable shelf, through platform-ramp to eastern slope and trough-synclines, can be...

The great majority of lower Palaeozoic rocks in the Stansbury, Arrowie and Warburton Basins are of Cambrian age, although a few Early Ordovician fossils have been reported from drillholes in the sub-surface Warburton Basin. The Cambrian is the only...

Surveys recently conducted in England, Ireland and Australia have shown that there are major spatial variations in the 'light' [molecular weight] hydrocarbon gas content of rocks which are closely related to the presence of underlying mineralisation....

Exploration of an area located 55-70 km east-southeast of Leigh Creek, where it was hoped that undiscovered Mississippi Valley - type lead-zinc mineralisation might exist within slightly folded Lower Cambrian strata, has consisted of 1:25,000 scale...

The availability of rainwater, and possible harvesting techniques and storage media are investigated. Reasonable amounts of rainfall occur, but falls are interspersed by long droughts. There are problems with silting up of dams, and with protecting...

Examination of an historically worked occurrence of stratiform base metal mineralisation near Balcanoona in the central Flinders Ranges, 50 miles east of Copley, has involved intensive geochemical sampling of abandoned mine adits, old dumps,...

Base and precious metal exploration near Pinda Springs mine in the north-central Flinders Ranges, 50 km south-east of Copley, initially comprised geological mapping and rock chip sampling. Several vein samples returned values up to 1.2 kg/t Ag, 10.5%...

Stream sediment sampling, conducted by Kennecott as follow-up to a 1966 regional surface geochemical reconnaissance programme looking for stratabound Mississippi Valley - type base metal deposits in the central Flinders Ranges, has located a small...

Evaluation of the base metal potential of minor historical copper workings within folded lower Cambrian strata, in an area located 25 km north of Quorn, failed to identify significant geochemical or geophysical evidence for shallowly buried...
