Gold exploration within EL 1390, located south of the Tarcoola and Earea Dam Goldfields, targeted possible Archaean greenstone - hosted gold deposits associated with later intrusive mafic rocks of high magnetic susceptibility, similar to occurrences...

Exploration work included geophysical surveys, reprocessing of airborne radiometric data, and rotary and diamond drilling (237 holes totalling 5975 m; total depths from 3-55 m) in a search for sedimentary uranium in Tertiary palaeochannels, and gold...

TARGET: Gold in Lower Proterozoic rocks of the Tarcoola Formation and part of the Mulgathing Complex, possibly as a metamorphosed equivalent of the high grade gold orebodies of The Granites (Tanami Desert, NT). EXPLORATION: Interpretation of aerial...

An investigation of tectonic controls of gold mineralisation in quartz veins at Tarcoola recommended the further study of : - brecciated zones (in which reefs and veins exhibit an increased gold concentration) to establish their structural...

Testing of the stratabound base metal potential of the basal Pandurra Formation section, in an area located 40 km north-east of Kingoonya, involved drilling down into the pre-Pandurra basement with 4 vertical percussion holes totalling 878 m. This...

The Tarcoola Joint Venture was formed in December 1986 to explore and redevelop the Tarcoola gold mine. An exploration and mine rehabilitation program included detailed underground surveying, geological mapping, systematic sampling and drilling....

Gold mineralisation at the Tarcoola prospect occurs within quartz veins occupying extensional fractures and faults cutting through the quartz sandstone and claystone of the Late Proterozoic Tarcoola Formation. Most of the past gold production has...

The base metal and uranium potential of a concealed Proterozoic basement high near Bulgunnia Homestead was evaluated using geological and hydrogeochemical reconnaissance and regional geophysical interpretation approaches. Seismic, ground magnetic and...

The March-April 1987 drilling programme, of 25 angled RC holes totalling 2437 m, tested the gold content of the known mineralised quartz veins and also attempted to determine the distribution of gold within the surrounding Tarcoola Formation....

A preliminary regional tectonic model and a broad stratigraphic scheme for the basement and cover rocks on the newly defined Gawler Craton are briefly summarised and are depicted on accompanying maps within the text, being conclusions drawn by SADM...

Exploration for possible buried epithermal or hydrothermal gold deposits within the large variety of Archaean, Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic basement rocks present in an area located from 20-30 km east of Tarcoola has targeted the potential of...

Continued exploration for Archaean lode-style gold and Mesoproterozoic Hiltaba Suite granite-related hydrothermal Cu-Au within the retained southern former subarea 'B' of EL 2518 located ~40 km south-east of Tarcoola, where there is also potential...

Exploration for possible buried epithermal or hydrothermal gold deposits within the large variety of Archaean, Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic basement rocks present in an area located from 20-30 km east of Tarcoola has targeted the potential of...

A small area centred about 10 km north of Tarcoola has been explored for possible economic buried IOCG mineralisation of Olympic Dam or Prominent Hill type, or any related gold-bearing magnetite skarns that may exist locally in the Proterozoic...

A biogeochemical sampling survey consisting of 20 lines (407 samples) was undertaken by the JV partners during August 2009, targeting buried gold mineralisation. Black Oak and Pearl Bluebush were the dominant deep-rooted plant species sampled and, to...

An area located just north of the Trans Australia Railway, between Malbooma and Lyons sidings, has been explored for possible economic secondary uranium mineralisation that could exist in Proterozoic and Tertiary strata overlying known uraniferous...

Exploration for possible buried epithermal or hydrothermal gold deposits within the large variety of Archaean, Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic basement rocks present in an area located 20 km east of Tarcoola has targeted the potential of a...

Exploration Licence 3089 is located in the central Gawler Craton and is centred near the township of Tarcoola. Continuation of tenure over the same area, from former ELs 1827 and 2510, was renewed by Gravity Capital Ltd on 2/6/2003, and full licence...

In late November 2012, three adjoining areas in the central Gawler Craton were taken up by Woomera Exploration Limited (WEX), an unlisted public company, for the purpose of minerals exploration. Within the subject licence area which is centred ~30 km...
