266 summary sheets on significant lead-zinc occurrences and anomalous concentrations have been prepared by the Department's Lead-Zinc Taskforce as a data package, in the form of 5 reports, to assist in the search for lead-zinc deposits to provide...

4 main styles of mineralization have been identified and the following areas worthy of further investigation are outlined : . Broken Hill style : associated with banded iron formation (BIF) and schist of the Early Proterozoic Hutchison Group on...

Fifteen rotary holes, 13 with bottom-hole core, tested 3 aeromagnetic anomalies for the presence of Hutchison Group, which is prospective for lead-zinc-silver. Low grade meta-sediments and possible acid volcanics of the Hutchison Group were...

Several commodities are currently mined on Eyre Peninsula including iron ore, dolomite, graphite, lime sand, gypsum, silica, granite, nephrite jade, talc and salt. Historically, copper, lead, silver and gold have also been mined and there are known...

During 1969-72, kaolinised bedrock south of Kimba on northern Eyre Peninsula was investigated by Pechiney and CSR Ltd as a potential source of alumina. Exploration drilling of 102 holes outlined 4 broad areas of kaolinisation at Kelly Tank,...

Exploration carried out primarily for possible economic uranium mineralisation within an area located approximately 40 km north-northeast of Port Lincoln started with reconnaissance aircore drilling during May 2007 (29 vertical holes for 590 m) to...

Investigation of the potential of a known surface radiometrically-anomalous area 20 km west-southwest of Cleve to contain unconformity - style uranium mineralisation, inferred to occur at and just above the subsurface stratigraphic contact of...

[incomplete : to be continued when time permits] - The Wilcherry Hill licence area was originally taken up in September 1980 by the Shell Company as EL 719, forming part of a larger regional mineral exploration tenement package on northern and...

Exploration for economic near-surface deposits of gold and base metals, in an area of possibly hydrothermally-altered Hiltaba Suite Mesoproterozoic basement located approximately 20 km north of Kimba, has comprised an assessment of previous...

Exploration of an area lying west of Lake Gilles concentrated initially on assessing its potential for hosting syngenetic Palaeoproterozoic stratiform base metal deposits along perceived stratigraphic extensions of the beds containing the recently...

Exploration of an area with poor basement outcrop, located approximately 45 km north-east of Tarcoola, primarily sought possible fault or breccia-hosted mesothermal gold +/- base metal mineralisation in likely multiphase Mesoproterozoic felsic...

A tenement in the Coulta district of south-western Eyre Peninsula has lately been explored by International Metals, after its prior research had outlined seven areas there as being of prime interest in a search for Archaean greenstone units which...

Geological mapping of an historically worked lamellar talc occurrence in the Tumby Bay area showed that snow white, finely flaky talc is present over a 2 km strike length within two beds of isoclinally folded schistose dolomitic limestone, but is of...

Banded iron formation (BIF) rock outcrops and an associated 15 km long aeromagnetic anomaly located about 20 km west of Iron Baron were chosen by Centrex Metals as high quality targets deserving of exploration for economic iron mineralisation...

A search for possible economic North/South Alligator Rivers or McArthur River (NT) style epicratonic, unconformity - related sedimentary uranium deposits was conducted across two licences taken up over areas located west and south of Cleve on central...

There is no abstract created for this record

Exploration aimed primarily for economic buried Menninnie Dam - style base and precious metals mineralisation hosted by Palaeoproterozoic metasedimentary basement has been conducted on a licence located in the Lake Gilles district. The subject area...

Exploration of an area located on western Eyre Peninsula between Sheringa and Mount Hope is continuing, with the intent of discovering economic buried base and precious metal deposits of volcanogenic sediment-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) style...

An upland area located approximately 100 km south-west of Whyalla on the eastern Eyre Peninsula, and with its eastern boundary running parallel to the coast at a distance of 15 km from Cowell and Franklin Harbour, is being explored for uranium,...

A sparsely drill-tested area centred about 10 km west of Lake Gilles is being explored for a variety of buried, possibly economic basement-hosted polymetallic mineralisation occurrences, including deposits of Menninnie Dam style Pb-Zn-Ag (Cu-Au),...
