In a search for carbonate mineral bulk raw materials suitable for use at the BHP Whyalla blast furnace as fluxes in steel-making, 5 exploratory vertical rotary core holes totalling 130 m were drilled on the Nullarbor Plain near the coast and south of...

As part of diamond exploration carried out in an area located approximately 8 miles east of Port Pirie, aeromagnetic anomalies noted from reviewing data of a previous survey acquired by Westchester Mining Corp. were investigated in the field. The...

Detailed, 1:1200 scale geological mapping was carried out over the 126 square mile Tarcoola Goldfield, but it excluded the old mine workings and focussed instead on five areas which Abadon thought might have potential for discovering downfaulted...

Refraction seismic and gravity surveys were undertaken to aid in the selection of drill sites in a program targeted at Tertiary uranium. It was also suspected that the Mulgathing Trough would contain basal arkosic sediments which could also host...

Detailed mapping has identified the erratic nature of fluorite mineralization within the vein system. One diamond drill hole, 950 feet deep, tested the southern extension of the known copper - bearing zone.

During a search for possible Stuart Shelf - type Proterozoic or Cambrian stratiform base metal deposits within an area lying to the south of Port Pirie, exploratory percussion drilling of 5 vertical holes totalling 443 m was undertaken. Three of the...

1069 square km or ~79.5% of the originally granted area of EL 218 have been relinquished to comply with the licence conditions previously agreed to with SADM for renewing of tenure at the expiry of the company's former EL 67. Work undertaken on the...

In a search for the possible buried source primary sulphide orebodies to historically worked secondary copper mineral occurrences in Adelaidean metasediments exposed in the Arkaroola Creek and Barraranna Creek areas, a programme of prospecting,...

Possible shallowly buried, surface-mineable coal formed within the Lower Permian Mount Toondina Formation, and similar to the coal occurring in the Phillipson Trough area, was the target of exploration carried out in the poorly defined Tallaringa...

The use of pozzolan in concrete appears to be limited.

Regional stream sediment and rock chip geochemical sampling of an area extending from 15 km north-east to south-east of Angaston was undertaken to search primarily for stratabound Mississippi Valley style Pb-Zn mineralisation in lower Cambrian Hawker...

Exploration for possible economic uranium and/or base metal mineralisation in the Radium Hill district consisted of a consultants' review of the exploration potential of the area based on data from existing mines and prospects, plus the conduct of a...

Investigations of the copper potential of a series of folded and faulted, Carpentarian age, albite / actinolite / quartz / magnetite altered fine-grained metasediments exposed in the vicinity of Cathedral Rock on Old Boolcoomata Station commenced...

Results of previously conducted ground magnetometry, auger drilling, and costeaning, plus those of a current programme of diamond drilling (3 holes, total 1919 feet) have demonstrated that the mafic/ultramafic Wanka Wanka Dyke is a laterally...

Regional stream sediment sampling across the southern Fleurieu Peninsula (133 bulk samples), done outside the previously sampled Cape Jervis / Talisker mine area, failed to locate any base metal anomalies that might be related to subtle pneumatolytic...

Possible economic buried, fault-controlled, supergene stratabound type or replacement style base metal deposits formed within Cambrian carbonate rocks were the target of exploration carried out over the Lake Torrens area. A 1200 line mile airborne...

Exploration of the 'Burra Ridge' highland of Adelaidean Burra Group rocks outcropping along a direct line between the towns of Burra and Robertstown, which has a history of mineral production from nine major early copper mines and many smaller...

As part of a continuing search for possible Palaeoproterozoic unconformity and vein-related hydrothermal uranium deposits in the northern Peake and Denison Ranges basement outcrop region, prospective stratigraphic and structural features were mapped...
