Laterite, BCL drainage and soil geochemical sampling, plus the re-assaying of previous drillhole samples, were carried out in the Port Neill - Tooligie - Port Lincoln area of southern Eyre Peninsula. No significant gold or base metal anomalism was...

Archaean, Early and Middle Proterozoic rocks of the north-western Gawler Craton have features which suggest good prospectivity for base metals, precious metals and other commodities. However, outcrop is poor and there has been relatively little...

Thick and often unconsolidated cover sequences of Bridgewater, Uley and Wanilla Formations prevented systematic regolith sampling of much of the area between Wanilla and Peachna, 40 km north-west of Port Lincoln, while no coherent base metal anomalies...

An area of the southern Gawler Craton, which is located on Eyre Peninsula east of Elliston, is continuing to be explored for possible economic buried Archaean to Proterozoic bedrock-hosted primary base and precious metal deposits of inferred...

An area centred ~100 km west of Port Augusta is being explored for possible economic buried, basement-hosted occurrences of epithermal/hydrothermal/metamorphic gold, silver, iron, uranium, and base metals mineralisation. On the now relinquished...

A consultant geologist's reports prepared in 1970 for by mining lease optionholder Murumba Minerals NL describe his detailed mapping of the then known jade (nephrite) deposits within the Cowell Jade Province. Two potentially mineable deposits were...

A single diamond drillhole (TD 362 m) put in to test the Kooralla Magnetic Ridge encountered granite and an augen gneiss/amphibolite schist sequence that is possibly part of the Lincoln Complex. Minor pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite were present...

TARGET: Lead-zinc-silver mineralisation of the Broken Hill or Aggeneys-Gamsberg type, associated with banded iron formations in Early Proterozoic metasediments; in addition, possible tin, tungsten or base metal-bearing skarns produced by hydrothermal...

TARGET: Stratiform lead-zinc-silver mineralisation of the Broken Hill or Aggeneys - Gamsberg type, associated with banded iron formations in Early Proterozoic metasediments. EXPLORATION: Data from the 1975 joint SADME / BMR Barna 1:100 000 scale...

The licence was taken out to assess the untested potential for finding platinum group metal occurrences associated with two known ultramafic intrusive plugs outcropping in the Lincoln Uplands, 40 km north-northeast of Port Lincoln. Incidental...

Exploration for gold in the banded iron formations of the Hutchison Group, conducted in the Tumby Bay area and west of Arno Bay on Eyre Peninsula, comprised a regional BLEG stream geochemical survey and follow-up stream, soil and rock chip sampling....

Base and precious metal exploration of the Palaeoproterozoic Hutchison Group in the Corrobinnie Hill area on central Eyre Peninsula has comprised ground magnetic, gravity, TEM and IP surveys, soil geochemistry, and RC drilling (12 holes, total 925 m)....

TARGET: Possible commercial Menninnie Dam type stratabound or stratiform base metal deposits in the Cowell - Kimba - Buckleboo region. EXPLORATION: Field reconnaissance and rock chip geochemical sampling of prospective areas identified from...

TARGET: Epithermal and unconformity - type uranium in Archaean to Early Proterozoic rocks of the southern Gawler Craton. EXPLORATION: - an aerial magnetic and radioactivity survey flown at 800 m, 1600 m and 400m spacing by Austirex in November 1979;...

TARGET: Possible stratiform Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation of the Broken Hill or Aggeneys-Gamsberg type associated with banded iron formations in Early Proterozoic metasediments. EXPLORATION: Regional ground magnetic surveys, geological mapping, 29 RAB...

Two licence areas together covering the hinterland to Arno Bay and Port Gibbon on eastern Eyre Peninsula, and extending as far north-westwards as Rudall, are being explored for economic buried graphite deposits that may have formed in deformed high...

TARGET: Diamonds in possible kimberlite intrusives; and (as JV objectives), possible exhalative lead-zinc-silver deposits of Broken Hill or Aggeneys - Gamsberg type, emplaced within the Early Proterozoic Hutchison Group, plus possible epithermal...

A SADM project to attempt to determine the ages of the youngest granites of the Gawler Block, of its north-western margin, and of known subsurface granites in the Officer and Eucla Basins, was initiated with Amdel in July 1969. The project aims to...

The Lower Proterozoic regionally metamorphosed rocks have been divided into three groups; the basal Flinders Metamorphics, predominantly gneisses, the Hutchison Metamorphics, which contain jaspilites and amphibolites, and the overlying Dutton...

Three mineralogically distinct areas within the iron ore occurrence at Greenpatch have been diamond drilled, and small samples of representative portions of the drill cores were submitted for laboratory investigations aiming to upgrade the...
