A field mapping project was set up by PIRSA to investigate the age, origin and emplacement history of newly discovered [by Goldstream Mining NL on EL 2222] volcanic rocks within the Mount Grainger Anticline, close to the town of Oodla Wirra. Outcrop...

The revised digital geology map of the Cultana 1:100 000 map sheet and accompanying geological descriptions in this report are the first components of the 2nd edition PORT AUGUSTA 1:250 000 map sheet to be completed. The subject map sheet occupies the...

Calc-silicate contact metamorphic aureoles within moderately deformed Adelaidean carbonate sedimentary rocks, which surround Ordovician granitic intrusions in the Needles area of the northern Flinders Ranges, were investigated for epigenetic gold,...

The MARREE mapsheet area includes the south-western portion of the Strzelecki Desert plus parts of the Tirari Desert, north-western Flinders Ranges and north-eastern Willouran Ranges, between latitudes 29 to 30 degrees S and longitudes 138 to 139...

Continuing exploration for possible buried Mount Gunson and Olympic Dam type copper deposits, or other stratabound base metal occurrences within shelfal facies of Adelaidean sediments or in the pre-Adelaidean Wandearah Formation Carpentarian age...

Base and precious metal exploration near Pinda Springs mine in the north-central Flinders Ranges, 50 km south-east of Copley, initially comprised geological mapping and rock chip sampling. Several vein samples returned values up to 1.2 kg/t Ag, 10.5%...

Reconnaissance geological mapping and limited surface geochemical sampling of exposed, thrust faulted quartz-carbonate veins evident in the Adelaidean cover sequence to the western Olary Domain Palaeoproterozoic basement did not generate any gold or...

A review of existing mineral exploration data pertaining to an area located 50 km north-east of Blinman indicated that geochemical copper anomalism is associated with the Mount Roebuck Fault and the Pinda Diapir. The potential for finding supergene...

Rock chip, calcrete and soil geochemical sampling were carried out at the Thanksgiving prospect, an ovate-shaped aeromagnetic anomaly situated 10 km south-east of Yunta, which is associated with skarn - style alteration of Adelaidean dolomites....

Relinquished portions of the EL were considered to have low potential for economically viable Mississippi Valley-type lead mineralisation similar to that occurring at the Ediacara Mineral Field, a conclusion based on the outcome of literature...

Exploration over part of the Nackara Arc region, within two now relinquished licence sub-areas located respectively 15 km north of Oodla Wirra and 10-20 km south and south-east of Paratoo, has sought economic Telfer-type stratabound gold deposits...

Interpretation of magnetic and gravity data, together with calcrete and MMI sampling, were carried out adjacent to a southerly extension of the Ediacara Fault, 25 km north-west of Parachilna. Low order Pb-Zn-Ag anomalism was located, coincident with...

PACE Initiative Year 2 funding, to assist with drilling two deep holes on the Carra-east anomaly located near Salt Creek, 8 km west of where the Carrapateena Arm southern shoreline meets central Lake Torrens, was granted to RMG Services in May 2005....

An area located about 110 km east-southeast of Marree was taken up initially to explore for possible economic silver and base metal mineralisation, but the scope of the search was later broadened to include assessing the prospectivity for primary and...

Report briefly describes the geology, structural features and mineralisation present in both the diapir core and its rim rocks. Some observations about the extent and the origin of mineralisation are made, but the overall assessment is ongoing.

Exploration of the area around the margins of the Oraparinna Diapir for commercial barite deposits has consisted of aerial photographic studies, plus ground geological traverses of photo-interpreted fault structures, and geological mapping, trenching...

Reconnaissance geochemical exploration for possible economic stratiform copper deposits hosted by Adelaidean and Lower Cambrian sediments in an area of the northern Flinders Ranges located east of Blinman has consisted of aerial surveys,...

Exploration undertaken in an area of practically no outcrop that is situated north and north-west of the Ediacara Range, on the eastern side of Lake Torrens, has aimed primarily at investigating the mineral potential of a large, low amplitude...

The Cultana basement 3D Geological Model covers a region which includes the Roopena, and western half of the Cultana, 1:100,000 mapsheet areas. The subsurface geology that has been modelled comprises a succession of deformed Palaeoproterozoic...
