A process of rationalisation of several prior-held CRAE tenements covering Cambrian trough sediments which partly outcrop in the south-eastern Mount Lofty Ranges has led to limited ongoing exploration by that company. Ground-based follow-up of all...

Exploration was undertaken by BHP along the western margin of the Murray Basin, between Lake Alexandrina and Cambrai township, for possible economic heavy mineral sands and for exhalative sedex-style volcanogenic/stratabound base metal deposits, both...

Exploration has not been exhaustive and potential exists for discovery of economic Pb-Zn-Ag deposits. Kanmantoo Trough contains a source of sulphur, metals, energy and structural elements for formation of Pb-Zn-Ag orebodies, as well as copper and...

Regional soil sampling has targeted the pyritic-carbonaceous Cambrian Karinya Shale and rock units immediately above and below it, along with lineament and structural features. Three prospect areas, Frankton, The Gap and Accommodation Hill, have been...

A partial leach soil geochemical survey has been conducted over shallowly buried Cambrian Kanmantoo Trough metasediments in the Monarto South area. The survey was designed to cover a aeromagnetic high anomaly, that is interpreted to be related to a...

Within the northern Kanmantoo Trough at Frankton, The Gap and Accommodation Hill, newly defined aeromagnetic prospects were thought to have base and precious metal potential, and a possible igneous intrusive was the target at the Malabena prospect....

Results of earlier regional soil sampling conducted by SADME across the Karinya Shale, plus tectonic/structural considerations, had identified 3 prospect areas, Frankton, The Gap and Accommodation Hill, for follow-up mapping, soil sampling, and the...

The metamorphic rocks to be examined on the field excursion have been assigned to the Tapanappa Formation (Early Cambrian Kanmantoo Group), a generally monotonous sequence of greywackes with narrow siltstone partings. This formation hosts most...

A Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) geochemical survey was conducted over known Pb-Zn-Ag-Au mineralisation within Cambrian Kanmantoo Group metasediments of the Tapanappa Formation at the Angas prospect near Strathalbyn, South Australia. A similar survey was...

During the period December 1989 to March 1990, exploratory drilling undertaken by SADME Mineral Resources Branch over the northern part of Kangaroo Island investigated the potential for base and precious metal mineralisation within rocks of the...

An integrated scientific research program addressing structural, sedimentological and metallogenic aspects of basin evolution has been conducted in the Kanmantoo Trough for the past three years. Joint collaboration in this program involved MESA, the...

Mount Barker Creek 1 was drilled by MESA Mineral Provinces Branch at a location 30 km southeast of Adelaide during May 1994 to test a model of stratiform lead-zinc mineralisation within the Kanmantoo Trough, and to confirm the composition and...

When a third joint venture was entered into with Aberfoyle Resources Limited who assumed management of the tenement, the exploration targets changed to syngenetic, stratiform base metal sulphides hosted by gahnite-garnet meta-exhalatives. The...

Exploration for gold in the eastern Adelaide Hills, in an area of Cambrian Kanmantoo Group sediments stretching from Kanmantoo in the south to Mount Rhine in the north, was undertaken initially by licence farminee East West Minerals utilising regional...

The Hillgrove Kanmantoo joint venture project is located 50 km east of Adelaide in the Mount Lofty Ranges of South Australia, and covers 497 square km of the highly prospective Early Cambrian Tapanappa Formation, which offers outstanding potential for...

The subject licence was obtained to cover possible southerly extensions of sub-economic metallic mineralisation that had recently been discovered near Strathalbyn at the Angas prospect, situated 12 km to the north-east within Aberfoyle's EL 1582....

Base metal exploration of buried Cambrian metasediments, undertaken over part of the Bremer River valley located east and south-east of Strathalbyn, has consisted of a review of historical exploration results, limited new geochemical sampling of...

An area centred ~50 km south-east of Tailem Bend has been explored for possible economic buried primary stratiform and epithermal deposits of base metals that may have formed within Cambrian bedrock, close to where the current licensees and previous...

Exploration licence 5973 “Bonaventura Project” is in the Cassini area approximately 30 km west of Kingscote Kangaroo Island. The project lies on the southern margin of the Gawler Craton and covers a 40 km section of the Cygnet-Snelling Shear Zone....

Two slightly separated areas located in the west-central Kanmantoo Trough geological region have been explored for possible economic buried metalliferous deposits by successive licence owners over an almost 25 year - long tenure. The subject report...
