A gravity survey has located an area of anomalous low gravity values near Terowie at the intersection of linear NW-SE and NS trending gravity minima. It is interpreted to be caused by a shallow, steep sided, low density rock with surface dimensions of...

This interpretation of magnetic and gravity data covering KINGOONYA was undertaken as part of an interpretation of the northern Gawler Craton, and was carried out without reference to any previous geophysical interpretation. Most of the work is based...

As part of the SAEI (South Australian Exploration Initiative), thirty reverse circulation drill holes totalling 1123 m (av 37.4 m) were drilled on the Terowie 1:50 000 mapsheet area to determine bedrock geology and geochemistry below Quaternary cover,...

Mineral exploration data from the Tarcoola region and held in the SADME open file system are summarized and anomalies or significant data highlighted. Projects generated are: - lead, zinc, copper or precious metal associated with regional...

Mineral exploration data from the BARTON and OOLDEA 1:250 000 sheet areas, which are held in the SADME open file Envelope system, are summarized and anomalous or significant data highlighted. Targets: - Base metal mineralization from anomalous drill...

Two specimens of lamproite from the Truro-Frankton area were examined for possible indicator minerals. A specimen from Schneiders Gossan contains apatite and one from Truro itself contains sparse rutile. Both minerals will be analysed by microprobe...

Lamprophyres collected in 1971 from near Radium Hill and dated as Ordovician are very similar petrographically to the alkaline and lamproitic rocks of Ordovician age in the area between Truro and Frankton. A specimen described as of intermediate...

Mineral exploration on CHILDARA 1:250 000 geological map sheet was reviewed from SADME open file Envelopes, to complement an overview of regional prospectivity supported via the recent acquisition of high quality aeromagnetic data and a compilation by...

2003 activity: Expenditure by companies on mineral exploration licences in South Australia for calendar year 2003 was $37.0 million, a slight increase on the $35.7 million spent in 2002. Mineral exploration drilling metreage, a key indicator of...

An area located approximately 80 km north-east of Orroroo was assessed for its potential to contain alluvial and hard rock gold deposits. Quartz veins developed within a narrow zone in the Tarcowie Siltstone at the historic Erina prospect have high...

Exploration for diamonds undertaken by Flinders Mines Ltd (as part of the JV agreement made with Tasman Resources) on the subject EL, located about 70 km south of Coober Pedy, commenced with a re-assessment of open file airborne magnetic data in an...

Exploration for diamonds undertaken by Flinders Mines Ltd (as part of the JV agreement made with Tasman Resources) on the subject EL, located about 30-45 km east of Commonwealth Hill, commenced with a re-assessment of open file airborne magnetic data...

As part of a regional search for possible pre - Late Permian diamondiferous kimberlite intrusions in the vicinity of the Springfield Basin, undertaken by farminee Flinders Mines, a subset of 2008 airborne magnetic survey data was interpreted and...

Portions of a helicopter-borne detailed aerial magnetic survey, the third in a series of large regional magnetic surveys undertaken by Flinders Diamonds Ltd within the Flinders Ranges in recent years, were flown across the now relinquished parts of EL...

Early work on the subject licence took place after 25/10/1993 as part of a regional search for possible shallowly buried diamondiferous kimberlites, conducted by Caldera Resources and Laura Holdings across a large tenement package which had been...

[ Note - here is Part 2 of the abstract relating to 2 separately indexed parts ]. A new joint venture with Barrick Gold, pertaining to the renewed (as EL 3424) tenement, was signed on 8/2/2007, after which that company as operator undertook a 749...

Exploration for possible diamondiferous kimberlite in the Venus Bay area of western Eyre Peninsula, located approximately 45 km south-east of Streaky Bay and 70 km north of Flinders Island, has formed part of a regional search by Orogenic Exploration...

As part of a regional search for possible buried diamondiferous kimberlite within an area lying 50 km north-east of Tarcoola, 15 discrete magnetic anomalies regarded as having possible kimberlitic sources were recovered by means of ground magnetic...

A structurally complex area located 50-70 km south-west of Marree was taken up to explore for possible diamonds, this strategy being based on recognition of apparently favourable geological criteria for the presence of diamond-bearing kimberlites and...

An area situated immediately south-east of Elliston has been explored for diamonds, in conjunction with similar work being carried out by the joint venture on Flinders Island and on its adjoining Venus Bay, Colton and Polda mineral exploration...
