An area centred ~215 km north-west of Ceduna was taken up by Southern Coal Holdings (SCH), together with another tenement located immediately adjacent to the west, to assess the development potential of locally extensive, previously known Tertiary...

The magmatic province of the eastern Delamerian Orogen concealed beneath the Murray Basin in eastern South Australia, including under EL 2487, has potential for several styles of mineralisation, including: - Magmatic-associated Cu-Au (+/_Fe)...

Exploration for possible economic buried sedimentary uranium deposits has been carried out in an area located 60-70 km south-west of Tarcoola, entirely blanketed by Quaternary aeolian sands, which holds sections of the preserved remnants of the...

An area of sparse basement outcrop situated to the west of Lake Acraman in the central Gawler Ranges district was taken up to explore for possible economic Olympic Dam style mineralisation, based on the licensee's evaluation of past drillhole data...

Two portions of an exploration licence covering ground surrounding the Mountain-of-Light copper mine, respectively 4 km north-east and south-east of Copley, have been relinquished due to their perceived diminished potential for discovering economic...

An area of shallowly covered Curnamona Province metalliferous basement rocks abutting the South Australia / New South Wales border, approximately 80 km north-east of Olary, was believed to be prospective for stratiform lead-zinc-silver and stratabound...

During the period 1841-1851, the Mount Lofty Ranges region was the locus of Australia's first mining era. This was the decade prior to the discovery of gold in the eastern States, when virtually all of the metalliferous mines in Australia were located...

A small area located about 20 km north-west of Port Wakefield was taken under licence by ETSA to try to secure limestone/dolomite material of suitable quality and in sufficient quantity to provide chemical additives for aiding the process of...

An assessment has been made of the economic potential of several adjacent albite feldspar deposits jointly known as the Manna Hill occurrence, which are associated with pegmatites formed within the eastern Weekeroo Inlier near Weekeroo Hill,...

The Sedan lignite deposit was discovered in 1979 and was subsequently investigated as fuel for an onsite conventional thermal power station. At that time, predicted high future energy demand by the 1990s required the state government to put in place...

Exploration for possible Archaean to Mesoproterozoic basement-hosted epithermal gold or base metal mineralisation of Ernest Henry or Tunkillia style was undertaken over an area extending ~35 km north and north-east of Poochera on north-western Eyre...

An area situated to the west of Lake Acraman in the central Gawler Ranges district was taken up to explore for possible economic Olympic Dam style mineralisation, based on the licensee's evaluation of past drillhole data which indicated that a number...

No field work. Ongoing activity comprised office studies of previous company geophysical data, and the interpretation of Schlumberger vertical resistivity sounding profiles acquired for the SADM Geological Survey Branch during December 1972 and...

A previously undrilled area of the Stuart Shelf centred about 80 km west-northwest of Andamooka and 50 km north-east of the Olympic Dam mine is being explored for possible economic buried IOCGU mineralisation that may be hosted by Mesoproterozoic...

The iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation potential of an area centred ~20 km south of Tarcoola, which appeared to contain untested but interesting gravity and soil geochemical anomalies, was investigated by Minotaur to try to...

To establish and/or confirm the basis upon which the heritage significance of industrial and social artefacts comprising the historical fabric of the Moonta and Wallaroo mines area may be evinced, a detailed site and item survey was performed by...

Prospecting for possible stratiform Adelaidean gold, silver and copper mineralisation, within a small area located north of Booboorowie, located a copper and gold - mineralised quartz vein in the vicinity of the historic Canny and Doherty mine, which...

An area flanking the south-western margin of Lake Gairdner was taken up by Rudy Gomez to explore for possible economic buried precious and base metal epithermal mineralisation of Olympic Dam or Tunkillia style within volcanic rocks of the Proterozoic...

An area centred on the hamlet of Green Patch, located ~10 km north-west of Port Lincoln, was taken up to appraise the iron ore potential of known near surface BIF magnetite mineralisation occurring at the Greenpatch (sic) prospect that had been...
