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...

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...

This student vacational project report, for the Department's Petroleum Exploration Div., aimed to correlate the basement rocks met with in Great Australian Bight area offshore and near onshore petroleum exploration wells with outcropping formations...

The Cultana map area lies about 150 miles north-northeast of Adelaide and straddles the narrow northern arm of Spencer Golf, South Australia. Along the western side of the area, which includes the industrial town of Whyalla, are exposures of steeply...

Total magnetic intensity traverses over a low amplitude aeromagnetic anomaly east of Bute have been made with a vehicle mounted magnetometer. The ground magnetic expression is approximately ten miles in length and of low amplitude. Either a thick...

A preliminary regional tectonic model and a broad stratigraphic scheme for the basement and cover rocks on the newly defined Gawler Craton are briefly summarised and are depicted on accompanying maps within the text, being conclusions drawn by SADM...

Between July 2015 and April 2016, the Geological Survey of South Australia, in collaboration with the Deep Exploration Technologies Cooperative Research Centre (DET CRC), Minotaur Exploration Limited and Kingston Resources Limited, carried out a...

The Six Mile Hill 1:75 000 Map Sheet was produced as part of a mapping program integrated into the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) along the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges. The objective of the mapping program was to provide a regional...

Concerted exploration for possible stratiform Mount Gunson type or epithermal Olympic Dam type base metal deposits, on the south-eastern edge of the Stuart Shelf near Port Pirie, was begun by North Broken Hill Ltd in response to the public release by...

Exploration within the Cultana Army Training Area, which is located to the west of Spencer Gulf just south of Port Augusta, targeted possible Proterozoic metasediment - hosted Cu-Au-U-REE mineralisation associated with the Hiltaba age Cultana Granite....

TARGET: Possible epithermal or stratabound base metal deposits within Proterozoic volcanic rocks or older Carpentarian sediments, respectively. EXPLORATION: Acquisition of an airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, with follow-up ground magnetic,...

Surface geological mapping and open hole rotary drilling of 21 stratigraphic holes totalling 8717 m were carried out within the relinquished ground portion, which from reviewing the results is regarded as having low potential for copper and other base...

MSDP04 is one of four diamond drillholes drilled during 2015 in the Six Mile Hill area as part of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP). The hole was drilled vertically to 843.9 m depth over the period 3/10/2015-21/10/2015, and intersected three...

The Six Mile Hill area was one of three areas targeted in the Minerals Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) during 2015-2016. Four holes were drilled in the Six Mile Hill area to test for potential for iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation and to...

The Mesoproterozoic (~1590–1586 Ma) Gawler Range Volcanics (GRV) comprise a sequence of A-type dominantly felsic volcanic rocks which were extruded in the central part of the Gawler Craton as part of a volcano-plutonic Silicic Large Igneous Province...

The diamond drillhole RC 1 is located on the south-eastern margin of the Gawler Ranges, and was drilled by the South Australian Department of Mines and Energy during 1978. This vertical stratigraphic drillhole, which was terminated at a depth of 558.0...

This report describes the results of a MESA consultant's second generation regional geological mapping and drillhole data interpretation work for the Roopena and Uno 1:100 000 sheets on PORT AUGUSTA, performed during 1993 and 1994 as part of the SAEI...

Possible economic stratiform base metal mineralisation formed within the Woocalla Dolomite Formation, which is shallowly buried over a wide area south-east of Lake Dutton, was targeted by ongoing work in an area located west and south-west of Pernatty...

Ground scintillometer work carried out by BHP over its SMLs in the Middleback Range area has been shown not to be an effective reconnaissance tool for finding uranium anomalies, but it does have demonstrated value for identifying sources of...
