While looking for possible westward extensions to the Eurelia Kimberlite Province, Stockdale's stream gravel sampling for kimberlitic indicators, followed by ground magnetometer traversing and observation of vegetation anomalies, led to the discovery...

This report presents detailed industry-derived statistics on the State's output and sales values of earth resource commodities realised during the six month period ended 30 June 2009, and compares the data with that returned for the previous six...

The Mount Toondina structure, a small but pronounced vertically fault-bounded inlier of Permian sediments within a flat-lying Mesozoic sequence, is represented by an annular magnetic feature located 45 km south of Oodnadatta. A single gravity profile...

Diamond and gold exploration undertaken on the two relinquished ground portions located north-west and east of Venus Bay on Eyre Peninsula, which total 530 square km in area, have comprised heavy mineral sampling, heavy mineral grain microprobing,...

Size classification followed by magnetic separation and flotation extracted 14% and 44% Tio2 respectively at Port Pirie plant. Uranium plant residue. Second report. Laboratory concentration tests. Production of high grade Titanium oxide concentrate is...

An airborne magnetic survey acquired by the grant licensee over the Lameroo district during August 1997 generated a number of shallow-source anomalies which suggested that there was fair potential for discovering buried Tertiary palaeocoastal...

Exploration for heavy-mineral sand in Tertiary sediments on the south-western flank of the Ooldea Range comprised geological reconnaissance and RC drilling (81 holes, total 1204 m). Up to 3% titaniferous heavy minerals were reported from drill samples.

The possible untested economic base metal potential of a 10 mile long zone of airphoto-interpreted intense hydrothermal alteration of the Gawler Range Volcanics, which follows the Uno Fault near Margoon Dam, was investigated on the ground by sampling...

Laboratory beneficiation feasibility tests have been conducted on a 250 lb bulk sample of known heavy mineral - bearing beach sands which were taken from nearshore dunes located along the northern coastline of Kangaroo Island at Nepean Bay. It was...

Three, or possibly four, raised beach ridge deposits were located along the coastline of the western Eyre Peninsula region during a reconnaissance survey of potential fossil strandline and foredune trapsites looking for economic heavy mineral sand...

After its purchase of the subject EL 5069 on 8/7/2013, a single drilling campaign was undertaken by Iluka Resources during August-October 2013, when 11 RC aircore vertical open holes were drilled for a total penetration of 266.5 m. Ten of the holes...

As part of continuing diamond exploration on the subject five licences, more of the first pass sampling program was completed by Flinders Diamonds in August 2006 via aircore drilling of 47 vertical holes for an aggregate 1852 m aimed at penetrating to...

Iluka Resources is exploring for possible economic heavy mineral (HM) deposits that may have formed in the northern Murray Basin, with a strategy of targeting any mineralised Loxton-Parilla Sand formation sediments deposited during the Pliocene marine...

Iluka Resources’ Eucla Basin Heavy Mineral Sands Project tenement Group 2 consisted initially ELs 3268, 3283, 3322 and 3330, which spanned the south-eastern portion of the Eucla Basin, extending from 24 km to 140 km north of Ceduna. Regionally, the...

Exploration for possible kimberlite pipes in the Mount Arthur - Mount Toodla area, 30 km east-southeast of Oodnadatta, has included preliminary gravity and ground magnetic surveys, stream sediment sampling, and the drilling of a single diamond cored...

Diamond and base metal exploration carried out north-east of Marla comprised gravel, soil and rock sampling, helicopter and ground magnetometry, RC drilling (7 holes, total 647 m) and an airborne EM survey. Chromite anomalies were located in the...

An area centred ~7 km west-southwest of Morgan has been explored since 8/7/2013 by Iluka Resources (Iluka) for possible economic buried Tertiary heavy mineral sands deposits. The company was targeting any mineralised Loxton-Parilla Sand (LPS)...

An area centred ~270 km west of Tarcoola and 25 km south of Maralinga, and lying on Maralinga Tjarutja Aboriginal Land immediately north of the Trans Australia Railway line, was taken up to explore for any large heavy mineral sand placer deposits that...

35 surface samples of various clastic sediments deposited on Kangaroo Island were studied microscopically to see if the respective abundances, composition and mineralogical features of their heavy mineral grain components might shed light on possible...
