In a search for possible diamonds and their kimberlite hosts that was undertaken within a large area centred ~60 km east of Peterborough, a preliminary literature review and photo-lineament analysis was conducted, next leading to field reconnaissance...

Possible intrusive Proterozoic salt bodies beneath the Blinman, Upalinna, Martins Well, Mt Hemming, Willippa and Bibliando Domes were investigated by field mapping, including the construction of measured outcrop stratigraphic sections, seismic...

Exploration was undertaken north north-east of Olary for possible near-surface gold associated with Early Proterozoic quartz - magnetite - pyrite lode horizons, and with Adelaidean fluvial tillites and siltstones of the Umberatana Group. It included...

Exploration for Cloncurry and Broken Hill-style Cu-Au and Zn deposits in the Ameroo Hill-McDonald Hill area, north-west of Olary, comprised the acquisition of ground magnetic surveys, detailed geological mapping and the resultant interpretation of...

No diamond indicator or base metal anomalies were revealed by the geochemistry of stream sediments sampled at 16 sites near Mount Brown.

Exploration of a small area of Neoproterozoic and Cambrian fold belt strata in the Jubilee Hill - Mount Roebuck area, located 45 km east-northeast of Blinman, was aimed at finding possible economic base and precious metal mineralisation associated...

1:100k scale geological mapping and reconnaissance stream sediment geochemical sampling of Umberatana and Burra Group bedrock exposures (220 samples), performed in a search for Telfer style stratabound gold, revealed only three anomalous gold assay...

A manganese-rich Adelaidean stratigraphic unit outcropping along the western flank of the Mount Remarkable Range, which returned 1.8% Co, 1.5% Cu and 1.0% Zn in a grab sample from the Willowie Cobalt prospect, warrants further work because it is...

Gold/copper exploration being undertaken north-west of Yunta has comprised rock chip geochemical sampling and BLEG stream sediment sampling. No significant gold anomalies were identified from the drainage bulk samples. High assay values of up to 8.8...

A rotary percussion drilling programme (8 vertical holes for a total penetration of 1920 feet) was undertaken at Netley Hill to look for economic copper and molbdenum mineralisation in a greisen (hydrothermally altered granite) body which has an...

In the Terowie - Whyte Yarcowie district, and in other nearby areas to the east and south-east, ongoing reconnaissance/infill stream sediment and bulk sampling of highland areas, plus detailed grid-based loam sampling of alluvium on lower-lying arid...

Orientation and regional reconnaissance stream sediment geochemical surveying (1438 samples) of early Marinoan shallow marine carbonate strata, carried out over a wide area surrounding the historic Billy Springs lead-zinc mine, failed to locate any...

In a search for possible Mount Gunson - type copper mineralisation thought to have been formed within Adelaidean dolomitic metasediments in the southern Island Lagoon shore area, a field reconnaissance was carried out to look for postulated vectors to...

Dataset comprises a set of un-related reports on drilling and surface investigations made by various interested companies at the historic Mountain of Light prospect in the early 1970s, at the invitation of the private syndicate holding the mineral...

A small area of the northern Flinders Ranges surrounding the Nichols Nob copper occurrences was explored for possible economic massive stratiform copper deposits, targeting the known mineralised Yudnamutana Subgroup metasediments. Work comprised a...

After conducting a thorough evaluation and gap analysis of the past exploration carried out on the Blinman Dome and environs, the licence operator decided to carry out regional stream sediment sampling (1000 samples taken over 60 square miles) in the...

Ongoing exploration by the SA Department of Mines of the copper and molybdenum - mineralised Anabama Granite batholith, which is located 20 km south-east of Manna Hill, has involved detailed geological mapping, soil and rock chip sampling, and the...

Trenching at the historic Warra Warra copper prospect returned assay values from lode channel sampling of up to 2500 ppm Cu, coinciding with malachite - bearing quartz-limonite veins and stringers developed parallel to bedding within a thin fine...

A possible association between copper and uranium mineralisation such as had been reported in the early 1950s at the Nicholl's Nob mine, located just to the east of the subject licence, was pursued by E-Z, who in this case examined the western...

Exploration for possible extensions to previously worked barite lodes and for new vein deposits in the Oladdie area comprised an initial familiarisation study tour of the geological setting of commercial barite deposits elsewhere in the Flinders...
