In an area of limited basement outcrop located between 2 and 5 miles north-northwest of Iron Knob township, the Department's surface traverse channel sampling (969'), percussion boring (643’) and diamond drilling (1270’) tested a low grade...

Several commodities are currently mined on Eyre Peninsula including iron ore, dolomite, graphite, lime sand, gypsum, silica, granite, nephrite jade, talc and salt. Historically, copper, lead, silver and gold have also been mined and there are known...

Exploration of an area lying west of Lake Gilles concentrated initially on assessing its potential for hosting syngenetic Palaeoproterozoic stratiform base metal deposits along perceived stratigraphic extensions of the beds containing the recently...

Banded iron formation (BIF) rock outcrops and an associated 15 km long aeromagnetic anomaly located about 20 km west of Iron Baron were chosen by Centrex Metals as high quality targets deserving of exploration for economic iron mineralisation...

A sparsely drill-tested area centred about 10 km west of Lake Gilles is being explored for a variety of buried, possibly economic basement-hosted polymetallic mineralisation occurrences, including deposits of Menninnie Dam style Pb-Zn-Ag (Cu-Au),...

The Kartanya iron ore prospect is located in the central Eyre Peninsula region, approximately 100 km west of Cowell and about the same distance north of Port Lincoln. Haematite mineralisation was discovered in the area by Western Mining Corp. while...

An area located 45 km west of Whyalla, which is underlain by Palaeoproterozoic and Archaean sediments, metasediments and intrusives, was inferred to have potential to host gold and base metal mineralisation. Interpretation of Landsat images and...

Menninnie Dam - style Pb-Zn mineralisation in areas north and east of Lake Gilles was the initial target of exploration. A ground magnetic survey conducted along five lines was followed by shallow auger drilling (302 holes, total 1099 m) plus lag,...

Base metal mineralisation, indicated by newly discovered shafts at the historic Atkinson Pb-Ag-Cu-Zn mine, was the impetus for exploration in the upland area 20 km north-west from Cowell. Grab samples collected from shafts, stockpiles and dumps varied...

An area which has had little exploration for iron ore done previously was taken up by Centrex Metals Ltd to cover potentially magnetite-rich Early Proterozoic banded iron formation (BIF) strata outcrops and subcrop located within the Lincoln Uplands...

The continuation during 2010 of exploration of the Palaeoproterozoic bedrock in a small area located 60 km west-northwest of Cowell has mainly consisted of the conduct of three shallow drilling campaigns and the examination and analysis of downhole...

An area lying immediately west of Port Lincoln and extending for ~10 km inland is being explored for buried occurrences of multiple metallic mineral commodities that may have been deposited within faulted, folded and metamorphosed Archaean basement...

Three small areas totalling 150 square km have been relinquished from the western extremities of the two sub-blocks forming the subject licence. The only work conducted on this ground was the acquisition for the licensee during February 2007 of parts...

An area originally granted as Exploration Licence 3048 Pondooma, which consisted of two separate sub-blocks centred ~60 km south-west of Whyalla, was applied for to cover a poorly exposed belt of banded iron formation (BIF) strata identified on...

An area centred ~70 km north of Kimba, which also lies about 7 km north of the Menninnie Dam lead-zinc-silver deposit, was taken up to explore for possible buried economic volcanic epithermal/hydrothermal Mesoproterozoic Fe-rich Cu-Au mineralisation...

A small area centred ~ 19 km west-northwest of Cleve was taken up primarily to explore for possible economic buried graphite mineralisation that might have formed within highly metamorphosed bedrock sediments located adjacent to large crustal...

An area centred ~30 km north-west of Cowell has been explored for possible buried graphite mineralisation that might have formed within highly metamorphosed Archaean to Proterozoic bedrock sediments located adjacent to large crustal penetrating...

An area in the Cowell Hills centred ~20 km north of Tumby Bay on eastern Eyre Peninsula was taken up primarily to explore and evaluate known talc and graphite occurrences, but the grant licensee's initial review of previous exploration data revealed...
