An area surrounding the Emeroo Range, and extending from the vicinity of Port Augusta to 30 km west of Hawker, was explored by Utah for possible economic stratabound base metal deposits which it was thought could be associated with certain favourable...

Includes Petrography of granulites and associated rocks. Appendix in: Mirams, R.C.

Stratiform copper sulphides, hosted within the basal Tapley Hill Formation, and extensions of known kimberlite bodies were targeted in this program. Reconnaissance and closer (down to 1 km x 1 km) spaced diamond and percussion drilling (28 and 83...

Ongoing exploration for possible economic stratiform copper deposits occurring in Late Proterozoic metasediments forming the Eurelia Anticline has concentrated on evaluating mainly the Copper Claim prospect plus four less attractive prospects, after...

This report reviews the available information on the region and presents a preliminary appraisal of the past nickel exploration data supplied by South Western Mining Co. Ltd. Current field and laboratory information has also been included. The study...

This report reviews the available information on the region, and presents a preliminary appraisal of the data supplied by South-western Mining Co. Ltd. Current field and laboratory information has also been included. New geological and geochemical...

Gravity surveys were made in December 1960 over areas of ferruginous and siliceous laterite in the Mount Davies region, where a sill-like body of basic and ultrabasic igneous rocks, the Giles Complex, intrudes Archaean metasediments. Secondary nickel...

Approximately 1000 geochemical drainage samples have been collected in two areas within the Stirling - Clarendon project area. Twelve square miles have been sampled in the Lenswood area at an average density of 27 samples to the square mile, and 26...

No significant mineralisation was intersected at South Breccia in diamond drill hole DLY9. Basic igneous rock and dolomite outcrops in and around the diapir have been re-examined and rock-chip sampled. The basic igneous rocks have been divided on...

Secondary nickel mineralization was discovered in jasperoidal capping overlying an altered ultrabasic intrusion (metamorphosed serpentinite, peridotites, pyroxenites). 3 diamond drill holes (1 769 feet) were drilled, about 300 geochemical samples...

Several areas in the Eastern half of the Burra 1,250,000 sheet area were examined and sampled to evaluate the possibility of sampling through overburden.

Five hundred drainage geochemical samples were collected in an area of 16½ square miles over the Mount Grainger Diapir and surrounding country rock, during February and March 1963. Results of this survey outlined an extensive copper, lead, zinc...

Between 1953 and 1967 mineral exploration mainly for nickel was undertaken by Mining Companies and the Department of Mines in the Northwest Province, a portion of the Musgrave Block. Nickeliferous ochres resultant from supergene enrichment within...

This investigation was a feasibility study, therefore environmental factors are dealt with in much more detail than would be necessary in a routine geochemical report. Apparently these factors has little significant effect on the results. Spot...

Nickel occurs as an unidentified secondary mineral with chrysoprase in a zone of siliceous jasper overlying calcareous meta-sediments of marble and amphibolite. Several assays of the chrysoprase are in excess of one per cent nickel. The composition...

The Paratoo copper deposit occurs in a sequence of laminated siltstones dipping steeply towards the east and striking northerly. The main copper ore mineral exposed at the surface is malachite. Thin sections of mineralised rock showed that malachite...

Gravity surveys in the North-West Province of the state, begun in 1960, were continued in 1965. Detailed gravity surveys were carried out over the Claude Hills jasper zone and adjacent alluvium covered areas, near Mount Davies, and east of Gosse’s...

The Spalding Inlier is a complex overturned anticlinal structure, in the core of which Willouran beds are exposed. It is near the intersection of two lines of anticlinal culminations in the region, folded during the lower Proterozoic orogeny. The...
