Exploration for possible Alligator Rivers (Northern Territory) style uranium deposits occurring in potential host rocks (carbonaceous pelites and carbonate rocks) within an Early Proterozoic metasedimentary sequence underlying a Middle Proterozoic...

Diamond exploration undertaken near Cleve on eastern Eyre Peninsula comprised stream and loam mineralogical and geochemical sampling, the reprocessing of Pancontinental's 1979 aeromagnetic survey data, and the conduct of ground magnetic surveys and...

Examines numerous outcrops illustrating the geological and tectonic evolution of the region. This excursion is based on the EPIC tour of the Geological Society of Australia 8th Australian Geological Convention excursion series in February 1986. This...

The nomenclature of a mapped lithologic unit of unmetamorphosed arenites which is widespread in outcrop on central Eyre Peninsula has been reviewed, with the name "Blue Range Beds" being adopted. The unit's stratigraphic relationships suggest that it...

A sandstone and 3 conglomerate samples consist mainly of quartzite and monocrystalline quartz clasts, but also contain substantial feldspar, principally microcline. Much of the microcline is fresh and some contains inclusions of quartz. Opaque heavy...

Several commodities are currently mined on Eyre Peninsula including iron ore, dolomite, graphite, lime sand, gypsum, silica, granite, nephrite jade, talc and salt. Historically, copper, lead, silver and gold have also been mined and there are known...

Exploration for possible diamondiferous kimberlite in the Colton area of western Eyre Peninsula, located approximately 95 km south-east of Streaky Bay and 35 km north-east of Flinders Island, has formed part of a regional search by Orogenic...

A small area centred ~ 19 km west-northwest of Cleve was taken up primarily to explore for possible economic buried graphite mineralisation that might have formed within highly metamorphosed bedrock sediments located adjacent to large crustal...

As part of a regional evaluation of the variably exposed Lower Proterozoic metasedimentary sequence on eastern Eyre Peninsula for possible economic pitchblende mineralisation, portion of a semi-detailed airborne radiometric/magnetic survey was flown...

TARGET: Possible diamonds in the Mount Wedge region. EXPLORATION: Heavy mineral sampling, an airborne magnetic-radiometric survey, remote sensing Landsat TM plus aeromagnetic and radiometric data interpretation, detailed ground follow-up of more than...

Exploration for possible buried occurrences of unconformity-related uranium mineralisation, undertaken within an area located approximately 26 km west-southwest of Cowell on eastern Eyre Peninsula, has included the acquistion during July 1979 of a 500...

Two drill cuttings samples from 2842 and 2860 feet depth KB in Apollo 1 (economic basement) were examined for their heavy mineral composition as an aid to stratigraphic correlation with Precambrian sediments found in the adjacent onshore. The well...

This student vacational project report, for the Department's Petroleum Exploration Div., aimed to correlate the basement rocks met with in Great Australian Bight area offshore and near onshore petroleum exploration wells with outcropping formations...

Early in 2001, Helix Resources Ltd entered into a joint venture agreement with Centrex Resources Limited to allow it to explore for precious and base metals on some of the tenements held by Centrex on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, including...

No field work was conducted on the subject licence area, which comprises three sub-blocks, for all of Years 6-11 (period 2002-2008) on EL 2981. During Year 8 of the project (8th March to 28th December 2004), exploration activities were reported...

No magnetic or geochemical exploration targets for potential Hutchison Group stratabound Cu-Au mineralisation were identified in an area 28 kms north-west of Arno Bay, between Wharminda and Kielpa.

Exploration for possible diamondiferous kimberlite in an area located north of the previously discovered Mount Hope kimberlite field has consisted of a review of earlier indicator mineral sampling results, and limited drainage sampling at Mount Wedge...

Pandurra Formation crops out in a broad belt extending 230 km NW from Whyalla and near Pernatty Lagoon and is present in the subsurface for a further 200 km to the NW. Possible equivalents exist on Eyre Peninsula and near Lake Frome. It comprises...

The Corunna Conglomerate is a sequence of unmetamorphosed fluvial to shallow marine sediments, comprising conglomerates, sandstones and siltstones, which were deposited in active fault grabens in the eastern Gawler Craton. It is found on the...
