An assessment of the Late Tertiary Murray Basin shallow marine clastic sedimentary sequence (Loxton and Parilla sands) for heavy mineral sand accumulations has discovered numerous occurrences of economic to sub-economic amounts of heavy minerals...

Exploratory drilling carried out by BHP Billiton (BHPB) during the 2009-10 project reporting year took place at six prospects thought to have good IOCG mineralisation potential, based in part on earlier drilling results and also on refined target...

The two Lake Gregory project licences were located between the Birdsville Track and Lake Gregory, approximately 100 km north-northeast of Marree, and to the north of uranium exploration tenements held by Adavale Minerals. Regalpoint selected these...

Exploration for possible economic concealed Beltana mine type stratabound lead-zinc-(silver) mineralisation, and for other diapiric and associated basic igneous intrusion - related base metal and/or gold occurrences, was carried out over a small area...

Possible diamondiferous kimberlite intrusions, and also economic base metals in the Cambrian bedrock strata, were the targets of exploration carried out in the Observatory Hill area, located approximately 250 km west of Coober Pedy. Initially, a 6200...

This report presents the results of a study jointly conducted by the Geological Survey of South Australia and CSIRO Mineral Resources which aimed to enhance the expression of geological structure in geophysical images and to derive depth to magnetic...

In May 2004 the Minister for the Department of Environment and Heritage purchased Bimbowrie Station pastoral lease. The station was purchased because it encompasses part of the Olary Ranges, which is part of the environmentally important Broken Hill...

The Murray Basin is an intracratonic basin filled with Cainozoic fluvial to shallow marine sediments. Deposition in the Eocene and early Oligocene was characterised by floodplain and swamp deposits, emplaced with occasional interbeds of shelly clays...

This report presents the results of exploration on the Director of Mines E.L.A. 383 at Sleaford Bay during November, 2006. A number of samples of Carnot Gneiss, Hutchison Group and Donington Suite granitoids were collected from coastal exposures at...

The WINTINNA 1:250 000 mapsheet area lies between latitudes 27° to 28° South and longitudes 133°30’ to 135°00’ East. This ~16 400 square km area includes the Marla and Cadney Park settlements, and is crossed by the Stuart Highway and Adelaide to...

Twenty diamond drill holes amountiing to a total footage of 3,780 feet have now been completed at the Victoria Hut Prospect. These have shown that the lodes extend to a depth of at least 270 feet down dip, but with a gradual decline in the width and...

A new generation, first edition WINTINNA 1:250 000 scale geological map and explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's geological mapping program undertaken in the...

Magnetic, Electrical, Radioactive and Geochemical methods were used. The magnetic work, carried out on a fairly close grid, revealed a number of large anomalies which however, have little of no connection with copper Ore-bodies. It also revealed what...
