High-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralisation formed within the Neoproterozoic Tapley Hill Formation (THF) was historically mined 100 years ago at Yerelina in the northern Flinders Ranges. Despite the existence of numerous poorly documented small-scale...

An area centred approximately 70 km north-northeast of Tarcoola has been explored for possible economic buried basement-hosted IOCG style or other (e.g. Menninnie Dam and/or Mount Gunson type) altered rock facies - hosted metallic mineralisation,...

No field work - desktop technical studies only, plus negotiations with local stakeholders and with potential joint venturers, were carried out over the 4-year tenure period.

The trigger event causing this data release to be made is that three portions of licence ground that together cover ~289 square km or 19.5% of the former area of EL 4217 Barton East have now been relinquished, as of 11/1/2011. No corresponding partial...

The heavy mineral sand potential of an area located immediately south-east of Ceduna has been assessed by planning traverses of shallow (20-50 m deep) aircore drillholes across fossil Tertiary marine marginal strandlines likely to contain reworked...

Prospecting for possible stratiform Adelaidean gold, silver and copper mineralisation, within a small area located north of Booboorowie, located a copper and gold - mineralised quartz vein in the vicinity of the historic Canny and Doherty mine, which...

Extensions to Cu-Pb-Co-Ag - rich lodes that were formerly exploited at the historic Wheal Ellen mine, located 40 km south-east of Adelaide, were the targets of recently renewed exploration for gold and base metals. Following the conduct of extensive...

Three potentially economic gold and platinum / palladium - bearing, known primary uranium-mineralised targets in the Palaeoproterozoic Houghton basement inlier have been evaluated through the conduct of office-based geological and geophysical studies,...

During 2007-2008, the first year of the diamond exploration joint venture with the Filsell brothers in the Paratoo area, Flinders Mines' activities comprised: • acquiring part of a detailed helicopter-borne infill aerial magnetic ('helimag') survey,...

A small licence area located 170 km north-northwest of Fowlers Bay in far western South Australia is being explored for possible large occurrences of high grade IOCG mineralisation that may be hosted by Proterozoic basement rocks, and for Tertiary...

Exploration for possible buried vein style copper-gold mineralisation, that may have formed in contact metamorphosed hornfelsic rocks adjacent to an inferred buried Delamerian or younger mafic intrusive body, has been conducted in a preliminary...

The only field work undertaken by Red Metal during its final six years of tenure of EL 3226/4307 Algebuckina was the assaying in 2011 of 88 soil and rock chip samples which it had collected from the vicinity of historically reported surface copper...
