Exploration was undertaken in an area located approximately 80 km north of William Creek township, looking for a possible very large Olympic Dam - type buried epithermal base metal sulphide body that might occur in Precambrian basement, concealed...

As part of a wider search over SA for possible continental salt lake occurrences of NaCO3-rich brines and of fossil crystalline trona beds, presumed to be equivalent to the Lake Magadi (Kenya) / Green River Basin (Utah - Wyoming) style Tertiary...

An area located along the Marree - Alice Springs Railway in the region of Curdimurka was selected to be explored on the basis of its potential to contain deposits of bedded trona in closed basins, and to have sodium carbonate brines present in near...

This hydrogeochemical atlas for South Australia builds on the accompanying notes to the revised hydrogeochemical data from the SA_Geodata groundwater dataset. The dataset is available online (Gray and Bardwell, 2016a;...

TARGET: Base metal sulphides associated with evaporitic carbonates of the Cambrian Observatory Hill Formation, and sodium carbonate evaporite minerals (i.e. trona, natrite, etc.) in lacustrine sediments. EXPLORATION: Analysis of available drill core...

Exploration for possible sedimentary uranium deposits of Lake Frome type hosted within anticipated buried Quaternary, Tertiary or Jurassic palaeochannels in the Mount Distance area, 60 km east-northeast of Lyndhurst, has included reconnaissance and...

As part of ongoing regional Tertiary stratigraphic appraisal work, an area located to the south and east of the Beverley uranium deposit was explored for economic roll-front style sedimentary uranium mineralisation by conducting resistivity surveys...

NERDDP Project 1033 had the primary objective of re-assessing the log analysis methods currently used for gas reserves assessment of the Cooper Basin. These methods include those of Porter (1976), Northcott (1982) and Overton and Hamilton (1986)....

The viability was investigated of producing salt from irrigation area runoff water captured by dryland salinity control drainage basins, that is pumped into the E&WS Department's Noora North Evaporation Basin, a large, ~42 square km natural...

Drilling of 49 rotary mud and partially cored holes totalling 1443 m (of which only 20 holes penetrated into the top of the basement) has been undertaken at the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin to further outline an occurrence of Tertiary lignite...

14 rotary/cable tool holes were drilled to test for lignite and uranium.

Two areas located approximately 45-55 km west of Ooldea were explored for possible buried Olympic Dam - type base metal deposits in poorly known Archaean to Early Proterozoic basement beneath the Eucla and Officer Basin sedimentary sequences. A...

Following a review of previous company exploration and image interpretation of SAEI and BMR aeromagnetic data, a 3166 line km airborne magnetic/radiometric survey, with follow-up ground magnetics and air core drilling (282 holes, 4559 m), was carried...

TARGET: To define lignite in the Wilkinson Lakes lignite deposit which is of a composition that would be suitable to undergo carbon beneficiation and/or coal liquefaction processes; also, any economic oil shale occurrences and/or sedimentary uranium...

Ongoing exploration for possible buried Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, conducted over an area of the Stuart Shelf located 15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, has comprised RC drilling (20 holes, aggregate penetration 1768 m) and diamond...

Areas around Woomera and extending to the north, to around 30 km west of Olympic Dam, were explored for concealed base metal deposits of Olympic Dam - type. Trace stratabound lead and zinc mineralisation (sphalerite and galena - few thousand ppm) had...

Evaporite minerals in black shale at the base of the Early Cretaceous Bulldog Shale near the western margin of the Eromanga Basin were the target about 50 km NE of Coober Pedy. Reconnaissance mapping, soil sampling, auger drilling and the backhoe...

Exploration for possible economic buried Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au mineralisation, undertaken over an area located 15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, comprised preliminary airphoto interpretation and surface geological mapping, outcrop sample...
