Rotary drilling and geophysical logging of 27 holes totalling 1899.5 m were completed in an area located 25-30 km south-east of Lake Frome. Anomalous radioactivity is restricted to the Lower Tertiary Eyre Formation equivalent, or basement rocks....

As part of a continued search for possible Proterozoic - Cainozoic unconformity - related, concealed sedimentary uranium deposits in an area of the Eucla Basin located 60 km north of Fowlers Bay, Pechiney conducted geological reconnaissance, ground...

An area located west of southern Lake Torrens has been explored for possible stratabound base metal or other economic mineralisation. Because approximately 85% of the bedrock in the licence area is obscured by broad sand plains and dunes, the...

During continued uranium exploration undertaken in the Houghton area 6 miles east-northeast of Adelaide, no field work was carried out because minor radiometric anomalies detected in the 1968 Houghton aerial radiometric survey data were interpreted as...

Exploration for possible buried sedimentary uranium deposits in the west of the Lake Frome Embayment area was prompted by recent such discoveries made in the north (at Beverley) and north-east (at Billeroo). A scout programme of open hole rotary...

TARGET: All minerals, particularly uranium.EXPLORATION: Examination of outcrops, aerial radiometric survey, drilling of 9 non-core holes.RESULTS: No mineralization or anomalous radioactivity was found.

Lignite seams in the Clinton Coalfield were further assessed for their potential to produce commercial grade montan wax in marketable quantities, via the drilling and sampling of two appraisal rotary/core holes with a total penetration of 533 feet, to...

Exploration was aimed at delineating favourable lithologies within Eromanga Basin sediments for hosting sedimentary uranium, which may have leached from the crystalline rocks of the Musgrave Ranges located to the west of the licence area. As part of...

The radioactive Burkitt Granite batholith, which outcrops in an area extending from 10 to 30 km north-west of Iron Knob, was surveyed by CRA in 1972 with close-spaced helicopter-borne scintillometric traverses, as part of a regional exploration...

TARGET: Possible sedimentary uranium deposits in the Jurassic Polda Formation and Tertiary Poelpena Formation. EXPLORATION: To reconnoitre contemporary soil radiometry in the area, the near-surface sediments penetrated by 135 auger holes (all drilled...

As part of an ongoing search for possible buried economic roll-front or sandstone type Tertiary sedimentary uranium deposits in an area 70 km east of Lake Frome, a detailed stratigraphic and sedimentological analysis was undertaken of rotary drillhole...

Possible economic buried Tertiary sedimentary uranium, plus any Palaeoproterozoic basement - hosted base metal deposits, were targeted in the region to the west of Cockburn by conducting an airborne radiometric survey (700 line miles at 0.5-1 mile...

No work - previous data reviewed only.

Detailed ground checking of radiometric anomalies recovered from a semi-regional aerial geophysical survey flown in August 1969 over the Plumbago area, plotted down to a scale of 1:25,000, did not disclose any significant radioactive mineral deposits...

Field checking of 40 of the most prominent aerial radiometric anomalies, recorded in August 1969 in the Outalpa section of former SML 209, did not reveal any uranium mineral occurrences, although 5 of the anomalies showed significant ground...

A drilling programme has been carried out under tenure of a mineral exploration licence by the PEL 6 Patchawarra Farm-out Block partners, to investigate the origin of a 400 API unit radioactivity gamma-ray log kick noticed to occur at 47.12 m below...

In a search for possible buried sedimentary uranium mineralisation which may have been precipitated adjacent to the northern margin of the Murray Basin in SA, following long term palaeodrainage transport of the dissolved weathering products of primary...

Refraction seismic and gravity surveys were undertaken to aid in the selection of drill sites in a program targeted at Tertiary uranium. It was also suspected that the Mulgathing Trough would contain basal arkosic sediments which could also host...
