No work was undertaken on EL 4530 Western River Cove during the whole 4-year term of its tenure. EL 3088 Western River was purchased from Havilah Resources by Monax Mining in July 2005, and formed part of Monax’s package of tenements included in the...

A compilation and review of existing geological, geochemical and geophysical data has indicated that the Padthaway region is fertile for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) style mineralisation. VMS terrains typically contain clusters of deposits,...

Exploration Licence 2725 (Parndana) lies between Parndana and the north coast of Kangaroo Island on the Kingscote 1:250,000 sheet area. It covers an area of approximately 100 square kilometres of mostly cleared grazing country. EL 2725 was applied for...

An area in the vicinity of Parndana, located on north-central Kangaroo Island approximately 30 km west-southwest of Kingscote, is being explored mainly for possible economic gold and Mississippi Valley type base metal sulphide mineralisation...

Two portions of an area extending east and south-east of Strathalbyn, together totalling 50 square km or ~40% of the former area of EL 5078, have been relinquished to satisfy the terms of the Fleurieu Project Amalgamated Expenditure Agreement signed...

Part of the north-western side of the Fleurieu Peninsula was taken up to explore for inferred buried IOCG-style copper-gold-uranium mineralisation which, by analogy with properties of the known eastern Gawler Craton occurrences, was postulated by...

The Yankalilla coastal and river valley district of the west-central Fleurieu Peninsula was taken up to explore for inferred buried IOCG-style copper-gold-uranium mineralisation which, by analogy with properties of the known eastern Gawler Craton...

All of the south-western tip and hinterland of the Fleurieu Peninsula was taken up to explore for inferred buried IOCG-style copper-gold-uranium mineralisation which, by analogy with properties of the known eastern Gawler Craton occurrences, was...

Adelaide lies towards the western margin of the Delamerian Fold Belt which extends across strike as far east as the Glenelg Province in western Victoria. Outcrop across this belt is very incomplete as most of the region of the Murray Basin is covered...

Despite good rainfall, the groundwater resources on Kangaroo Island are limited, with localised good quality groundwater available only in small supplies. Just over 75% of all wells drilled on the island have a salinity of over 2000 mg/L, with 95% of...

Black Hill, located 85 km to the east of Adelaide, is an important source of black "granite". The gabbro and norite exposed on the hill over an area of 4 km by 3 km represent the outcropping top of a much larger Cambro - Ordovician gabbroic intrusion....

The Queen Mary Wolfram Mine at Callawonga Creek which was discovered in 1911, worked till 1918 and reopened in 1952 is the only one three local workings to produce worthwhile wolfram ore. The mine is located intersecting pneumatolytic quartz veins...

In a search for base metals on northern Kangaroo Island, the licensee investigated an untested regional magnetic anomaly in the Middle River area, following the assumption that Kanmantoo type stratiform mineralisation would give a distinctive magnetic...

A previous regional soil and stream sediment sampling program (cf. RB 2000/00002) has delineated areas of heavy metal contamination in the Dawesley-Bremer Catchment. Heavy metal contamination was found to occur sporadically along both Dawesley Creek...

Migmatites are complex, high-grade crystalline rocks that have formed by partial melting. They have been recognised within the crustal rock record across most of geological time, are seen to be developed in various tectonic settings, and can affect a...

A program of soil and stream sediment sampling was conducted along the Dawesley - Bremer Catchment to determine the extent and magnitude of potential heavy metal contamination downstream from the Brukunga Pyrite Mine. Arsenic, cadmium, copper and zinc...

Ground magnetic survey and gravity survey traverses were conducted south-southwest of Tintinara over aeromagnetic features considered to be prospective for base and precious metals. 13 rotary mud/diamond drillholes (respective total penetration 1048...

TARGET: Possible syngenetic copper sulphide orebody extensions in Early Cambrian metasediments beneath the Wheal Friendship - Wheal Maria and Bremer mine areas of the Callington district. EXPLORATION: Gridding plus detailed geological mapping and rock...

Geological mapping plus regional rock chip geochemical sampling and soil C-horizon geochemical sampling conducted in the Australia Plains area, 12 km north-east of Eudunda, have identified a base metals anomalous zone at the base of the Karinya Shale.
