An area of SA's Upper South-East located inland just to the east of the Coorong is being explored for possible buried, sediment-hosted secondary uranium mineralisation that may occur near the base of the cover adjacent to known radioactive granite...

Continuing exploration undertaken by Electrolytic Zinc Co. (E-Z), looking for possible economic primary stratabound lead-zinc sulphide deposits in the Heysen Range area, was focused on evaluating a newly discovered occurrence of...

SMLs 576 and 583 over portions of the Heysen Range were taken up to allow follow-up studies of areas of interest outlined during reconnaisance geochemical exploration of former SML 302, the targets being possible Beltana type stratabound base metal...

An area of approximately 10 square miles covering the River Torrens gorge in the vicinity of Paracombe was leased to explore for possible economic uranium and copper-lead-zinc deposits. Oxidised copper mineral stains on outcrops, and traces of copper...

Burra Group metasedimentary argillite and quartzite beds outcropping 3 km north of Birdwood, which have been altered during a Tertiary deep weathering event, are excavated by the licensee to produce refractory and other industrial raw materials....

In a search for possible economic thicknesses of salt beds and crust developed on Island Lagoon, six shallow push-tube core samples were obtained from deltaic lakebed sediments in the north-eastern arm where the Island Lagoon Creek debouches. A...

Field examination of tuffaceous interbeds to the Billy Creek Formation, in an area located within the Wirrealpa Syncline where minor secondary copper mineralisation had been reported, suggested that the Middle Cambrian strata seen there hold no...

The possible economic potential of eight mineral leases held by Mr H.N. Thomas in the greater Billy Springs area were evaluated by hired consultants, who undertook brief lease inspections and related literature reviews, and made recommendations for...

Intensive stream and loam sampling over a broad area north of Burra and east of Hiles Lagoon has located numerous kimberlite bodies occurring either as diatremes or dykes. No diamonds were found in bulk samples taken from these kimberlites, or from...

Exploration for stratabound copper deposits within potentially prospective Late Proterozoic host sedimentary rocks over an area of the southern Flinders Ranges comprised regional geochemical sampling and detailed (1:10,000 scale) geological mapping,...

Lignite seams in three separate parts of the Moorlands Coalfield were further assessed for their potential to produce commercial grade montan wax in marketable quantities, via the drilling and sampling of three appraisal cable tool percussion/core...

Work done included 1:1200 scale geological mapping of the fluorite and barite vein deposits, and limited assaying of 15 grab samples.

In a search for possible economic sedimentary uranium deposits within an area located approximately 80 km north of Mingary, the drilling and geophysical logging of 30 exploratory open rotary holes totalling 2261.5 m indicated that the presence and...

The natural organic compound Montan wax, extracted from drill core samples of lignites that are present in the Moorlands Coalfield, has been tested in West Germany by the Hoechst GmbH company. The wax was found to be of poor quality, with excessive...

Exploration carried out near an historically worked small occurrence of stratiform base metal mineralisation near Balcanoona in the central Flinders Ranges, 50 miles east of Copley, aiming to follow up reported surface geochemical anomalies, has...

SML 113 covering about 1000 square km of Upper Proterozoic and Lower Cambrian sediments, and scattered masses of intrusive diapir, was taken out in the vicinity of Beltana to explore for copper deposits analogous to those found by SA Department of...
