As part of a continued search for possible Proterozoic - Cainozoic unconformity - related, concealed sedimentary uranium deposits in an area of the Eucla Basin located 60 km north of Fowlers Bay, Pechiney conducted geological reconnaissance, ground...

Possible stratiform / hydrothermal syngenetic base metals deposited on the flanks of the Pernatty Culmination in the vicinity of fault lineations were targeted in an ongoing regional drilling programme (in part comprising 7 vertical rotary percussion...

This document presents an interpreted structural setting for the unusual enriched occurrence of iron formation in the Stony Hill area, based on photogeological and drillhole data observations of macroscopic and mesoscopic structural factors.

Exploration for economic vein-style, epithermal/hydrothermal copper deposits in the Mount Margaret Range area has consisted of limited rock chip sampling (5 samples) and 1:1200 scale geological mapping at the Coominaree and War Loan mine workings, of...

Ongoing nickel exploration work at the eastern end of the Musgrave Ranges, just south of the SA-NT border, has consisted of the ground-truthing of aerial magnetic anomalies through measurement of magnetic susceptibilities, the traversing of various...

IP and resistivity surveys, 1:200 scale geological mapping, and soil and rock chip sampling were carried out over exploration grids covering bleached metasedimentary outcrops that might indicate possible buried lode extensions in the vicinity of the...

Renewed exploration of the Burra hills district for possible economic copper and other mineralisation has continued the type of work that was done within SML 68 by the previous explorer, Australian Geophysical Pty Ltd. Reconnaissance stream sediment...

An area surrounding Beltana in the Flinders Ranges, which is known to contain low level base metal mineralised Adelaidean and Cambrian sedimentary rocks and diapiric intrusive structures, has been prospected by a combination of photogeological studies...

Exploration for possible buried sedimentary uranium deposits in the west of the Lake Frome Embayment area was prompted by recent such discoveries made in the north (at Beverley) and north-east (at Billeroo). A scout programme of open hole rotary...

Surface mapping and underground sampling carried out by SML 170 licensee Carpentaria Exploration at the Copper Queen mine (located on private Mineral Claim 4960) during 1969, had indicated the possibility of existence of a small size remnant orebody...

Laboratory beneficiation feasibility tests have been conducted on a 250 lb bulk sample of known heavy mineral - bearing beach sands which were taken from nearshore dunes located along the northern coastline of Kangaroo Island at Nepean Bay. It was...

Possible hydrothermally - deposited native mercury metal associated with the Mount John Fault zone, perhaps in a quartz splinter vein setting similar to that of the mercury occurrence previously found nearby at the Moro mine, plus elsewhere, economic...

As part of a regional geochemical survey for signatures of stratiform base metal deposits, 208 stream sediment samples were collected along the eastern flank of the Mount Deception Range, over the lower part of the Late Proterozoic Bunyeroo Formation....

A geological reconnaissance and geochemical re-sampling were carried out in the Mooroowie mine area to follow up minor Cu-Zn mineralisation found in earlier regional sampling work done by Electrolytic Zinc Co. The target was large tonnage, low grade,...

Lignite seams in the Clinton Coalfield were further assessed for their potential to produce commercial grade montan wax in marketable quantities, via the drilling and sampling of two appraisal rotary/core holes with a total penetration of 533 feet, to...

The radioactive Burkitt Granite batholith, which outcrops in an area extending from 10 to 30 km north-west of Iron Knob, was surveyed by CRA in 1972 with close-spaced helicopter-borne scintillometric traverses, as part of a regional exploration...

A prospecting survey of the area immediately surrounding Balcanoona Homestead and further westwards to the faulted margin of the Loch Ness Diapir failed to disclose any significant outcropping base metal mineralisation.
