Cultana is located on parts of the north-eastern Eyre Peninsula, northern Spencer Gulf and south-western Flinders Ranges, and is underlain by rocks of the Mesoarchaean-Mesoproterozoic Gawler Craton, the Neoproterozoic Adelaide Geosyncline, Torrens...

Previously detected low-level geochemical anomalies for Cu, Pb and Zn were confirmed by follow-up stream sediment and soil sampling. Field inspections were made by helicopter of selected anomalous areas in the Upper Proterozoic and Lower Cambrian...

South Australia's famous desert opalfields supply about 80% of the world output of precious opal, with current production coming almost entirely from the major fields at Andamooka, Coober Pedy and Mintabie, each of which is expected to increase output...

Reconnaissance stream sediment geochemical sampling (258 samples) and a detailed geological inspection of resultant base metal anomalies, plus follow-up rock chip and stream sediment sampling, have outlined several minor base metal geochemical...

Resumed exploration for economic stratiform base metal deposits within basal Cambrian and upper Adelaidean metasediments in the area of the Arden and Ragless synclines, 20 km north of Quorn, concentrated on geochemical prospecting and detailed, 1:2000...

Exploration undertaken in an area of practically no outcrop that is situated north and north-west of the Ediacara Range, on the eastern side of Lake Torrens, has aimed primarily at investigating the mineral potential of a large, low amplitude...

Shallowly buried, Cambrian stratabound base metal deposits of Mississippi Valley type, that might be associated with large throw old fault structures running along the western side of the Flinders Ranges, were sought by carrying out a varied programme...

Renewed base metal exploration over a 160 square mile area near Angepena Station in the northern Flinders Ranges, 20 miles east of Copley, involved on-going geochemical exploration of known mineral occurrences, plus regional reconnaisance stream...

Diapiric faults disrupting upper Adelaidean strata in an area centred 8 miles north of Hawker were examined to find out whether economic barite vein occurrences might have formed within them. No outcropping barite or any other significant...

A geological and geochemical appraisal made of various mines and prospects in the Beltana area has sugggested that only those situated nearest the Nuccaleena Diapir are the most likely to yield drilling success in the search for significant extensions...

A search for possible additional reserves of secondary copper ore was undertaken by Bridge Minerals on historic mine workings in the Angepena Station area, 25-40 km east of Leigh Creek, to complement that company's recent discovery of significant...

Ongoing exploration of copper prospects within diapiric raft blocks of Adelaidean metasediments at Beltana has concentrated on the vicinity of historic underground mine workings where evidence of primary sulphide mineralisation can still be seen at...

Reconnaissance stream sediment geochemical sampling undertaken in the western half of the licence area, limited grab sampling of outcrop specimens from the visually copper-mineralised Wearing Dolomite Member noted in the eastern half, and follow-up...

Possibly prospective copper mineral occurrences in the vicinity of Beltana were investigated by conducting part of a multi-licence aerial survey over them, and by researching all of the existing information on the local geology. An extensive desktop...

Geological and geochemical investigations undertaken in the vicinity of the historic Mucatoona copper occurrence indicate that the Angepena ?diapiric breccia zones have no potential for hosting economic mineralisation. There is only a marginal...

SML 113 covering about 1000 square km of Upper Proterozoic and Lower Cambrian sediments, and scattered masses of intrusive diapir, was taken out in the vicinity of Beltana to explore for copper deposits analogous to those found by SA Department of...
