In a sampling programme carried out over the Sturtian Merinjina Tillite and basal Tapley Hill Formation strata on parts of the COPLEY 1:250 000 mapsheet area, 684 soil samples and 71 rock samples were collected at 25 m and 12.5 m intervals along 24...

Exploration has not been exhaustive and potential exists for discovery of economic Pb-Zn-Ag deposits. Kanmantoo Trough contains a source of sulphur, metals, energy and structural elements for formation of Pb-Zn-Ag orebodies, as well as copper and...

A seminar designed to heighten industry interest in South Australia as a place in which to search for minerals and petroleum was organised by the Department of Mines and Energy at the Australian Mineral Foundation on 13 December 1990. A number of data...

Potential target areas for Mississippi Valley style lead zinc mineralization were drill tested by 31 open drill holes totalling 825 metres. Postulated eastern extensions of low grade, flat-lying lead (-zinc) mineralisation were confirmed at the Eric...

Open file company data from 101 exploration licences dating from 1940 is reviewed. To 1989, 1189 rotary / percussion holes (85 000 metres) and 132 diamond drill holes (31 000 metres) were drilled in exploration for uranium, base metals and, to a...

The rationale of soil air carbon dioxide and oxygen measurements, as a guide to oxidising sulphide, is that sulphide oxidation in the presence of water and oxygen will produce sulphuric acid which in turn, will attack any carbonates present to produce...

TARGET: The aim was to test if analyses of soil air and subterranean gases sampled via drill holes could define zones of known and unknown mineralisation. EXPLORATION: Soil air carbon dioxide and oxygen measurements were assessed as a guide to...

A partial leach soil geochemical survey has been conducted over shallowly buried Cambrian Kanmantoo Trough metasediments in the Monarto South area. The survey was designed to cover a aeromagnetic high anomaly, that is interpreted to be related to a...

Within the northern Kanmantoo Trough at Frankton, The Gap and Accommodation Hill, newly defined aeromagnetic prospects were thought to have base and precious metal potential, and a possible igneous intrusive was the target at the Malabena prospect....

The metamorphic rocks to be examined on the field excursion have been assigned to the Tapanappa Formation (Early Cambrian Kanmantoo Group), a generally monotonous sequence of greywackes with narrow siltstone partings. This formation hosts most...

Mineralization is widespread both geographically and stratigraphically, but many areas are under-explored. Past exploration was generally focussed on copper. Further investigation is recommended in the following units and areas: . Cambrian - Hawker...

During the period December 1989 to March 1990, exploratory drilling undertaken by SADME Mineral Resources Branch over the northern part of Kangaroo Island investigated the potential for base and precious metal mineralisation within rocks of the...

Company exploration within the CURNAMONA 1:250 000 sheet area was reviewed by the study of data incorporated in the open file reports on 42 Special Mining Leases, 80 Exploration Licences and one group of Mining Leases dating from 1961. This data...

Lower Proterozoic crystalline rocks of the Willyama Complex include phyllite, carbonaceous slate, mica-sillimanite schist and gneiss, feldspathic meta quartzite, quartzo feldspathic gneiss, calc-silicate rocks and iron formations. The oldest rocks in...

266 summary sheets on significant lead-zinc occurrences and anomalous concentrations have been prepared by the Department's Lead-Zinc Taskforce as a data package, in the form of 5 reports, to assist in the search for lead-zinc deposits to provide...

A brief survey programme assessed the IP / resistivity technique in the Miltalie Mine environment, and provided sub-surface electrical information for siting diamond drillholes.

There is no abstract created for this record

4 main styles of mineralization have been identified and the following areas worthy of further investigation are outlined : . Broken Hill style : associated with banded iron formation (BIF) and schist of the Early Proterozoic Hutchison Group on...

This is a combined study of the regional geochemical stream sediment, regional aeromagnetic and Bouguer gravity data with special reference to possible Pb-Zn mineralised zones. The original Asarco geochemical data was statistically reprocessed and the...

Fifteen rotary holes, 13 with bottom-hole core, tested 3 aeromagnetic anomalies for the presence of Hutchison Group, which is prospective for lead-zinc-silver. Low grade meta-sediments and possible acid volcanics of the Hutchison Group were...
