Exploration for possible economic deposits of primary uranium mineralisation, undertaken within the now relinquished portions of the subject licence which is centred approximately 65 km north of Cowell, has consisted of field reconnaissance and...

An assessment has been made of the economic potential of several adjacent albite feldspar deposits jointly known as the Manna Hill occurrence, which are associated with pegmatites formed within the eastern Weekeroo Inlier near Weekeroo Hill,...

Two separate small areas located just north of Comet Outstation, that were originally taken up to explore for possible diamonds and Triassic-Jurassic kimberlite intrusions that could be associated with intensely faulted shallow basement, have also...

The Adelaide Hills Project consists of 3419 square km of land covered by eight contiguous exploration licences, ELs 3057, 3064, 3141, 3215, 3239, 3277, 3425 and 3534, which are owned by or joint ventured to Flinders Diamonds Limited (FDL). By an...

A large north-south orientated area centred ~45 km north-west of Port Lincoln was taken up to explore for possible buried Archaean komatiite-hosted nickel, volcanic hosted massive sulphides (base metals), orogenic lode gold, BIF-hosted iron ores and...

Exploration for possible economic IOCG type base and precious metal deposits in buried basement rocks, and for possible roll front style sedimentary uranium mineralisation in overlying Jurassic-Cretaceous Eromanga Basin sediments, within an area...

An area located 140 km north-west of Tarcoola was taken up to explore for possible economic high grade occurrences of palygorskite clays formed in Tertiary palaeochannels and associated playa lakes. This was a response to a discovery of palygorskite...

An area located in the Cowell Hills is being explored for possible economic buried iron ore deposits. The desired commodity is DSO (Direct Shipping Ore) haematite mineralisation similar to that of the Middleback Range iron deposits, where pods of...

During July 2012, at a location approximately 90 km south-east of Oodnadatta, EL 3680 licensee Energia Minerals completed the drilling at the BC4 gravity anomaly target of a single vertical rotary mud/diamond tailed hole to a total depth of 144.3 m...

During the majority of its tenure term, very little field work was conducted on the subject ground. Initially, office studies of available geophysical and open file geological data were performed during 2005 to try to identify possible drilling...

To support the production of soda ash at its Osborne plant in Adelaide, South Australia, ICI Australia has been obtaining crushed marble from the Barossa Valley region as process raw material. Since June 1945, the South Australian Department of Mines...

A SADM geological survey of the Luxemburg group of abandoned gold/copper mines, 14 miles east of Olary, was carried out during October 1949 to determine their remaining prospectivity. The four major mining areas, discovered in 1887, had exploited...

The Mingary 1:100 000 map area in the north-east of the state covers part of the Curnamona Province. Five suites of basic intrusives have been identified in the area. The most widespread is a series of amphibole-bearing sills which, having an...

Current mapping on the Mingary 1:100 000 map area has been investigating the nature of the boundary between the Olary Domain and Broken Hill Domain, both of which are subdivisions of the Curnamona Province. Earlier work had settled on a prominent...

The deformed metasediments of the South Australian Willyama Inliers (in the southern Curnamona geological province) preserve petrologic evidence of a complex and protracted metamorphic history. To assist with unravelling this history, there currently...

Approximately 30 square km of outcrop of Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks in the vicinity of Ameroo Hill were geologically mapped by the author at 1:10,000 scale, with the aim of identifying meso- and macroscopic rock structures and lithologically...

The Abminga bedrock drilling program was initiated in 1999 as part of the Targeted Exploration Initiative of South Australia (TEISA) strategy conceived by the SA Government and implemented through PIRSA's Mineral Resources Group. Drilling was proposed...

Exploration for uranium in the vicinity of Lake Gilles targeted the Lower Proterozoic Cleve Metamorphics and the unconformably overlying sandstone, conglomerate and rhyolite units of Carpentarian age, searching initially for analogues to the deposits...

The CALLABONNA map area includes the southern end of the Strzelecki Desert and the north- eastern Flinders Ranges, between latitudes 29° to 30° S and longitudes 139° 30' to 141° E. Cameron Corner adjoins New South Wales and Queensland in the...

This report presents the results of SHRIMP U-Pb zircon geochronology from the southern Gawler Craton that has been acquired with the view to improving our understanding of some key stratigraphic units of this region. Eight samples taken from outcrops...
