To continue the assessment of the dimension stone and ornamental stone potential of granitic basement outcrops present on EL 2851, a 5-year Retention Lease, RL 116, was taken out on 7/2/2006 to cover 5.9 ha of the Middle Camp granite pluton. Several...

Exploration of an onshore area located immediately north of Murat Bay aimed to discover beach or shallow marine placer concentrations of zircon-rich heavy mineral sands, possibly formed within significant thicknesses of prospective Upper Tertiary...

Exploration for possible buried economic iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineral deposit targets within a large area of the central Gawler Ranges utilised existing and newly acquired regional gravity data to identify anomalous basement...

Exploration for possible Tertiary or Mesozoic roll-front type, fluvial sediment - hosted secondary uranium deposits, which could be related to a large aerial radiometric uranium channel anomaly recorded from an area bordering the south-western side of...

355 loam samples of weathered Cretaceous outcrop were collected, using helicopters, in an area 80 km north of Kingoonya. No diamond indicator minerals were recovered, and allied remote sensing studies failed to recognize any surface expression of the...

During a regional diamond search by the Billa Kalina joint venture partners, 31 heavy mineral samples were collected from the relinquished area, located 70 km north of Kingoonya. No kimberlitic indicator minerals were recovered, and a study of remote...

An area located about 50 km north-west of Oodnadatta was explored for possible economic epithermal/hydrothermal or stratiform base metals in buried Precambrian, Palaeozoic and Mesozoic rocks, because a strong satellite anomaly had been seen in a band...

A compilation and review of historical exploration work records and the reprocessing of available regional geophysical data did not identify any prospective IOCG style mineralisation targets on the now relinquished portions of the subject licences.

Exploration for possible intrusive igneous sources of diamonds and for possible Broken Hill type economic stratabound Early Proterozoic base metal deposits in the Mount Bosanquet area, 30 km south of Kimba, has comprised digital image processing and...

Exploration was carried out 50 km east of Port Augusta to try to locate possible concealed Triassic coal-bearing basins similar to the nearby Boolcunda and Springfield basins, and to assess the potential for economic Cainozoic lignite occurrences....

Exploration for Neoproterozoic stratabound gold in part of the northern Nackara Arc included performing stream sediment geochemical sampling (999 samples) and reconnaissance soil (64 samples) and rock chip (60 samples) sampling near Gum Dam, over an...

Diamond exploration over an area 60 km west of Lake Eyre South included drainage heavy mineral sampling and a remote sensing study. Data from portion of a 1982 aeromagnetic survey by Aerodata-McPhar Pty Ltd for Stockdale, covering the southern...

Mineral exploration recently undertaken over the now relinquished parts of a large tenement package in the Streaky Bay district has addressed the potential for finding Prominent Hill - style Proterozoic IOCG deposits, Phanerozoic iron-depleted gold...

In a search for postulated Tertiary heavy mineral sands marine placer deposits that may have been formed outside of the presently known north-eastern extent of such age sedimentary basins (i.e. along a proto Eucla Basin coastline existing within the...

The availability of satellite-borne ASTER data, which is intrinsically "geologically-tuned" over most of the Earth's land surface, has introduced the possibility of generating seamless geological map products that can usefully span across geological...

Exploration for trona and base metals was centred on the Marla region. Work included regional gravity and magnetic studies, acquisition of airborne magnetic and multi-channel radiometric data, with follow-up ground magnetic and gravity surveys,...

Reconnaissance geological mapping of existing, previously quite productive opal workings in the White Hill area of the Stuart Range 'Breakaway' country, 100 km south-east of Coober Pedy, was followed by exploratory and infill narrow-hole auger deep...

Exploration as part of a continuing regional search for possible diamondiferous kimberlites was undertaken 70 km west-northwest of Roxby Downs. Extensive sampling of current drainage lines in interdune swales, plus loam sampling in other...

Reconnaissance gravel and rock chip sampling were carried out in the Rockleigh - Eden Valley area, 50 km north-east of Adelaide, to further investigate a kimberlitic indicator minerals cluster defined on the licensee's adjoining Truro EL 1732. A few...
