Extensions to Cu-Pb-Co-Ag - rich lodes that were formerly exploited at the historic Wheal Ellen mine, located 40 km south-east of Adelaide, were the targets of recently renewed exploration for gold and base metals. Following the conduct of extensive...

TARGET: Possible Tertiary marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands (ilmenite, rutile, zircon) on the south-eastern margin of the Eucla Basin in the Nunjikompita - Hiltaba area, 100 km east of Ceduna. EXPLORATION: A consultants' photogeological...

An area centred ~65 km north-east of Hawker in the Central Flinders Ranges, and located adjacent to the eastern side of the Oraparinna Diapir, has been explored for possible buried economic epigenetic copper, gold and uranium mineralisation. During...

Exploration for possible economic stratiform/stratabound, volcanogenic-epigenetic lead-zinc mineralisation hosted within lower Kanmantoo Group metasediments of middle Cambrian age, over a small area located approximately 80 km north-east of Adelaide,...

In 2007, Lincoln Minerals discovered greenfields uranium mineralisation near Jungle Dam on its EL 3690, located about 45 km north-east of Kimba on the northern Eyre Peninsula. EL 3690 straddles a NNW-trending splay of the Kalinjala Shear Zone (~1720...
