Five vertical aircore holes totalling 143 m tested a magnetic anomaly lying 30 km east of Burra, in an area thought to be prospective for alteration of buried Adelaidean sediments by high level, fractionated acid intrusives. Maximum assay values of...

Mulgathing Complex and Hiltaba Suite rocks were interpreted from aeromagnetic data obtained in areas located 10 km north of, 70 km south-east of, and 35 km south of Tarcoola. Calcrete sampling was followed by RAB drilling (178 holes, total 5047 m)...

Detailed gravity survey results obtained over a regional anomaly recognised 90 km north-east of Streaky Bay were not typical of an iron oxide body likely to host a Cu/Au deposit, but were more consistent with an expected gravity signature of a mafic...

No new work was performed.

A review of previous exploration and evaluation of regional geophysical data for two areas in the Mount Gunson district did not identify targets worthy of follow-up geochemical sampling or drilling.

Possible buried Ernest Henry / Olympic Dam style Cu-Au mineralisation hosted by Mesoproterozoic Gawler Range Volcanics and Hiltaba Suite granites was the target of exploration in an area immediately south of Lake Everard. Regional calcrete, soil,...

Possible extensions to historic workings for lead, gold and copper in the Pinda Springs area, 55 km south-east from Copley, were tested by a limited programme of rock chip sampling and panning of creek sediments. Mineralised veins with visible galena...

Possible primary gold and platinum - palladium mineralisation which might have formed in Palaeoproterozoic basic igneous rocks of the Myponga Inlier were the targets of exploration in an area 60 km south of Adelaide. Work undertaken comprised a field...

No anomalous values were reported from regional calcrete sampling in an area 10 to 25 km north-west to south-west of Kimba.

Archaean, Early and Middle Proterozoic rocks of the north-western Gawler Craton have features which suggest good prospectivity for base metals, precious metals and other commodities. However, outcrop is poor and there has been relatively little...

Regional lag/laterite geochemistry performed over interpreted Palaeoproterozoic basement iron oxide - hosted copper-gold targets 30 km west of Tumby Bay yielded elevated Au, As, Cu and Pb values. Complementary drainage sampling geochemistry results...

Reinterpretation of existing aeromagnetic and gravity data from an area 70 km northwest of Oodnadatta indicated moderate potential for basement mineralisation and kimberlitic intrusions.

The Lake Torrens Project consists of twelve tenements held in the area north and east of Lake Torrens, where the conceptual target is iron-oxide copper-gold mineralisation of Olympic Dam style. Limited soil sampling along two traverses over...

Exploration Licence 1258 "Mingary" was granted to Mount Isa Mines Ltd in November 1984. The area, of 1185 square km lying 40 km north-east of Olary, had been the subject of exploration of the Palaeoproterozoic metasedimentary basement for Broken Hill...

Exploration for possible economic metallic mineral products of hidden copper-gold deposit mineralising systems, which possibly were genetically related to fractionated, high crustal level emplaced Cambro-Ordovician intrusive rocks, is addressing an...

Olympic Dam style Cu-Au-U mineralisation associated with Hiltaba age intrusives, and Tennant Creek style Au mineralisation associated with ironstone units in Hutchison Group metasediments, were the targets in the area surrounding the township of...

Proterozoic iron oxide copper-gold mineralisation of the Olympic Dam style was the target of exploration in the Mt Paisley area, 145 km south-east of Coober Pedy. Extensive re-interpretation and evaluation of available regional geophysical data...

Exploration for Fe-oxide hosted Cu/Au deposits included a review of historic exploration results and interpretation of Open File aeromagnetic and gravity data. The work failed to identify any significant anomalies within the area relinquished.

Exploration targeted Olympic Dam style mineralisation associated with Hiltaba Suite intrusives and Gawler Range Volcanics at the southern end of Lake Gairdner, between Mount Ive and Moonaree. Sampling of poorly developed calcrete together with rock...
