Exploration for possible commercial accumulations of sedimentary shallow marine phosphorite ore in the Ediacara 'Sub-basin', 26 km west of Beltana, has consisted of a search within the Early Cambrian strata for any sites or layers of phosphate...

A number of base metal occurrences in the northern Flinders Ranges, previously classified as syngenetic, diagenetic and epigenetic in nature, appear to have resulted from metalliferous brine-sediment interaction with autochthonous and allochthonous...

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...

Reconnaissance geochemical sampling of creeks draining Lower Cambrian sediments in the Kanyaka Hill area has located several lead-zinc anomalies reaching up to seven times background, which are related to the Parachilna Formation limestones. A crush...

An area located approximately 12 miles north of Quorn was re-issued to Kennecott over a reduced licence acreage, to permit further investigation of Cambrian Parachilna Formation and Wilkawillina Limestone strata which had shown anomalous copper, lead...

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,...

As part of a regional stratiform base metals exploration programme, the conduct of a helicopter-assisted stream sediment geochemical sampling survey (506 samples assayed) did not reveal any anomalies of interest.

Eleven traverses of rock chip samples were collected during a preliminary prospecting programme in SML 339 in the Reaphook Hill region of South Australia. While no obvious zinc or manganese deposits were located during investigations of the Lower...

This report presents the results of a study jointly conducted by the Geological Survey of South Australia and CSIRO Mineral Resources which aimed to enhance the expression of geological structure in geophysical images and to derive depth to magnetic...

Previously detected low-level geochemical anomalies for Cu, Pb and Zn were confirmed by follow-up stream sediment and soil sampling. Field inspections were made by helicopter of selected anomalous areas in the Upper Proterozoic and Lower Cambrian...

Work done in the now relinquished western one-third portion of EL 807 has included general reconnaissance and the analysis of one rock chip sample, being part of a search either for MVT style lead-zinc in Cambrian carbonate rocks, for stratiform base...

Adelaidean and Cambrian calcareous clastic rocks of the Angepena region were investigated for possible economic epigenetic base and precious metal mineralisation that may be related to syn-depositional faulting, as well as for stratiform and...

Exploration of an area located approximately 30 km south-east of Copley was aimed at finding possible Irish-type stratiform lead-zinc(-silver) sulphide mineralisation in localised sub-basin environments associated with growth faulting and brecciation....

After one of E-Z's Beltana-based field parties discovered some high radioactivity associated with copper mineralisation in old mine workings in the Arrowie Gorge area during early 1968, six mineral claims were taken out to secure the area of interest...

The source of anomalous lead and zinc in the Radford Creek area was traced to a ferruginous outcrop of Parachilna Formation limestone that is associated with a prominent shear and also lies near the contact with the Wilkawillina Limestone. Samples of...

Resumed exploration for economic stratiform base metal deposits within basal Cambrian and upper Adelaidean metasediments in the area of the Arden and Ragless synclines, 20 km north of Quorn, concentrated on geochemical prospecting and detailed, 1:2000...

The Third Plain zinc silicate (willemite) deposit, located 14 miles south-east of Blinman, has been newly assessed by North Flinders Mines for its economic potential. Originally discovered by Kennecott Explorations in late 1966, and evaluated by them...

In a search for Mississippi Valley - type Pb-Zn deposits within the Angepena Syncline, 35 km east of Copley, helicopter-assisted geological mapping at 1:25,000 scale, photogeological studies and reconnaissance stream sediment geochemical sampling were...

Exploration of the area surrounding the historic Comstock copper mine entailed doing 1:5000 scale geological mapping, soil and rock chip geochemical sampling, the conduct of 7 line km of ground magnetic surveying and 4.8 line km of dipole-dipole IP...
