Exploration for graphite and base metals in the Uley - Mikkira region, south-west of Port Lincoln, comprised an aerial INPUT / magnetic / radiometric survey, with ground EM34-3, magnetic, SP and IP surveys to follow-up INPUT responses. 4 EM anomalies...

Work included over 2000 bedrock samples from RAB drilling and costeaning, and detailed low altitude aerial surveys to define banded iron formation beneath shallow cover. A 5 km zone adjacent to 2 parallel iron formations in the Campoona Grid in...

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...

As part of a regional evaluation of the variably exposed Lower Proterozoic metasedimentary sequence on eastern Eyre Peninsula for possible economic pitchblende mineralisation, portion of a semi-detailed airborne radiometric/magnetic survey was flown...

Extensive geophysical prospecting, an 8 hole percussion drill coring programme (477 m) and a 140 hole RAB drilling programme (1798 m) at the Lady Franklin prospect were not encouraging. Percussion drillhole 83WP2 intersected a zone of primary but...

A small area originally comprising three separate parts centred ~20 km north of Kimba on northern Eyre Peninsula has been explored for possible economic Middleback Range type stratabound BIF hosted iron ore, for shear-hosted or Menninnie Dam style...

17 square km or ~65% of the former area of EL 5931, and 14 square km or ~12% of the former area of EL 6072, have recently been relinquished due to their now perceived diminished prospectivity for buried base and precious metal mineralisation. Work...

Exploration for possible economic lead-zinc mineralisation in the Cootra - Waddikee region of Eyre Peninsula was limited to office studies.

Exploration of an area extending from 20 km south to 35 km south-west and west of Tarcoola was designed to assess the potential of Archaean to Middle Proterozoic volcanics, granites and sediments for possible gold, base metal or tin deposits of...

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...

As part of uranium exploration being carried out over the oldest basement rocks forming inliers to the south-eastern Gawler Craton, an airborne scintiilometer survey was flown across the Port Lincoln district during November-December 1968 along...

TARGET: Small, high grade iron accumulations as feed for a direct reduction plant. EXPLORATION: Data review, field reconnaissance and investigation of direct reduction and iron carbide blast furnace technology.

TARGET: Precious metals, specifically platinum group metals and gold, associated with ultrabasic intrusives and strongly faulted and altered metasediments in the Tumby Bay area. EXPLORATION: Geochemical sampling including rock chip, gravel and BCL...

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...

The target of base metal exploration carried out over an area located 50 km north of Kimba was possible Broken Hill or Aggenys - Gamsberg exhalative type stratiform lead-zinc-copper-silver mineralisation associated with banded iron formations in the...

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)....

Exploration for Broken Hill style zinc-lead mineralisation 70 km west of Cleve on the Eyre Peninsula comprised an airborne magnetic / radiometric survey and a semi-regional gravity survey, however, no follow-up work has been undertaken in the...

Exploration in the Wanilla - Cummins area searching for economic accumulations of heavy minerals in Eocene sands comprised 2 phases of aircore drilling (167 holes, total 4049 m). A resulting drill intersection yielded a 0.72% heavy-mineral...
