The Geological Survey of South Australia, in partnership with Geoscience Australia, is undertaking a regional pre-competitive geoscience research drilling program in the far west of South Australia called the Coompana Drilling Project. The Coompana...

A mineral systems analysis for Cu-Mo-Au in the Delamerian Orogen has been conducted to assess the orogen's potential for containing this type of mineral occurrence. A conceptual model was delineated, and prospectivity maps were created. These maps can...

Renewed diamond exploration has been conducted in a part of the western Eyre Peninsula where numerous kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) anomalies occur in surficial sediments, and where the four adjoining licence areas involved lie in close proximity...

This report summarises geophysical studies conducted by Western Areas between October 2021 and October 2022, under the ADI Agreement ADI: RD02/296-GP Magneto Telluric (MT), Passive Seismic and Magnetic Modelling Study. The discovery of magmatic Ni-Cu...

On 19th May 2021 Sinosteel SA secured ADI funding to carry out the comprehensive Curnamona Geochemical Sampling Program utilising the skills of the in-house geologist together with academic research collaboration to perform rigorous geochemical...

An area centred ~115 km south-west of Coober Pedy is being explored for possible economic buried precious and/or base metal mineralisation (including iron ore) that may exist in predominantly buried Archaean or younger Proterozoic basement rocks, as...

Phoenix Copper is exploring tenements which cover an area of approximately 802 square km on the west coast of the Yorke Peninsula, the company's prime objective being to discover an economic iron oxide - associated copper-gold-uranium (IOCGU) deposit...

Hillgrove Resources Ltd (HGO) has identified a large number of geophysical targets through the south-east Cambro-Ordovician basement of South Australia prospective for Cu-Au mineralisation and covered by the Tertiary-Quaternary Murray Basin sediments....

Five small portions of the subject licence, with a combined total area of 143 square km, have been surrendered due to their now perceived diminished prospectivity for iron ore, gold, uranium and base metals. During the period of their tenure,...

The Cyclops prospect is located approximately 145 km west-southwest of Coober Pedy and ~58 km north of the Challenger mine, along the common boundary between ELs 4891 and 4892, two exploration tenements held by Teck Australia Pty Ltd which were...

As part of the PACE Initiative Year 3 collaborative drilling projects between PIRSA and the minerals industry, Goldstream carried out an approved programme of reverse circulation drilling on its Mount Woods area exploration tenements, into selected...

A strong total count radiometric anomaly (to 10 x background) was encountered on the western shoreline of Lake Torrens, about 20 miles south-east of Andamooka, during the course of reconnaissance aerial radiometric surveying. Detailed tests to...

Geochemical and isotopic data from mantle-derived mafic rocks provide important constraints on our understanding of the composition and evolution of the lithosphere through time. Since the lithosphere is sensitive to tectonic processes such as...

During the period 1745–1700 Ma, felsic and mafic rocks were intruded throughout the Gawler Craton, broadly coeval with the 1740–1690 Ma Kimban Orogeny. These rocks were previously considered part of the Lincoln Complex, a stratigraphic term defined by...

Large potential field anomalies can be observed in the Marla region of northern South Australia, and have been used to define the northern limit of the Gawler Craton. The subject project’s aim was to model the plausible source(s) for each of those...

This report book contains SHRIMP zircon U-Pb geochronological data obtained between July 2007 and June 2009, for 10 metasedimentary and meta-igneous rocks from the Mulgathing Complex of the north-estern Gawler Craton. The geochronological study was...

This compilation of written and associated oral papers that were presented for the “What lies beneath the western Gawler Craton? 13GA-EG1E Seismic and Magnetotelluric Workshop 2015” is an important step in building our geological understanding of one...

Large potential field anomalies can be observed in the Marla region of northern South Australia, and have been used to define the northern limit of the Gawler Craton. The subject project’s aim was to model the plausible source(s) for each of those...

Upper crustal strata forming the northern to central Flinders Ranges area comprise uplifted and eroded remnants of openly folded sedimentary rocks that were deposited in an intra-continental arm of the Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian Adelaide...

The northern to central Flinders Ranges area comprise uplifted and eroded remnants of openly folded sedimentary rocks that were deposited in an intra-continental arm of the Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian Adelaide Geosyncline. Deposition was...
