TARGET: Stratiform lead-zinc-silver mineralisation of the Broken Hill or Aggeneys - Gamsberg type, associated with banded iron formations in Early Proterozoic metasediments. EXPLORATION: Data from the 1975 joint SADME / BMR Barna 1:100 000 scale...

A collection of Amdel petrographic reports providing raw data for a petrogenetic study of Cowell area jade specimens and related host rocks carried out by SADME, aimed at determining geological controls on the distribution of high quality nephrite...

Possible exhalative sulphide orebodies of the Broken Hill - Aggeneys type, associated with Lower Proterozoic banded iron formations that are known to be Pb-Cu anomalous in the Cleve area (Campoona Syncline) 35 km to the south-east, were the prime...

Exploration for gold in the banded iron formations of the Hutchison Group, conducted in the Tumby Bay area and west of Arno Bay on Eyre Peninsula, comprised a regional BLEG stream geochemical survey and follow-up stream, soil and rock chip sampling....

Exploration in the Wanilla - Cummins area searching for economic accumulations of heavy minerals in Eocene sands comprised 2 phases of aircore drilling (167 holes, total 4049 m). A resulting drill intersection yielded a 0.72% heavy-mineral...

TARGET: Possible commercial Menninnie Dam type stratabound or stratiform base metal deposits in the Cowell - Kimba - Buckleboo region. EXPLORATION: Field reconnaissance and rock chip geochemical sampling of prospective areas identified from...

TARGET: Epithermal and unconformity - type uranium in Archaean to Early Proterozoic rocks of the southern Gawler Craton. EXPLORATION: - an aerial magnetic and radioactivity survey flown at 800 m, 1600 m and 400m spacing by Austirex in November 1979;...

TARGET: Possible stratiform Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation of the Broken Hill or Aggeneys-Gamsberg type associated with banded iron formations in Early Proterozoic metasediments. EXPLORATION: Regional ground magnetic surveys, geological mapping, 29 RAB...

TARGET: Unconformity related, vein-like and vein-type uranium in the Cleve Metamorphics, Katunga Dolomite and Mangalo Schist; lead-zinc sulphides of Broken Hill or Balmat-Edwards type in the Hutchison Group. EXPLORATION: Uranium exploration...

Numerous Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag mines and prospects, including the promising Menninnie Dam prospect located 80 km north of Kimba, occur within graphitic, calcareous and psammo-pelitic metasediments of the Palaeoproterozoic (ca 1900-1850 Ma) Hutchison Group on...

Exploration for possible economic vein-style primary uranium deposits hosted within basement rocks in a licence area located 55 km west-northwest of Port Lincoln has consisted of detailed (1:10,000 scale) geological mapping over a 650 square km area,...

Nine airborne radiometric anomalies associated with poorly exposed basement rocks bordering small lakes in a Tertiary palaeodrainage feature emanating from the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges outcrop were investigated for their basement-hosted...

The Warrow Quartzite of Lower Proterozoic age is quarried periodically for railway ballast, 3 kilometres west of Darke Peak township, Eyre Peninsula. The quartzite deposit has been investigated by mapping and laboratory testing of samples. Los Angeles...

The Warrow Quartzite of Lower Proterozoic age is quarried periodically for railway ballast, 16 kilometres east – northeast of Tooligie Siding, Eyre Peninsula. The quartzite has been investigated by mapping and laboratory testing of samples. Los...

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...

The possible areal extent and potential in-ground resources of secondary kaolin developed from deep lateritic weathering of Early Proterozoic basement rocks on central-eastern Eyre Peninsula were investigated by the licensee, with a view to obtaining...

Trafford Resources Ltd ('Trafford'), the owner since March 2007 of the seven exploration licences comprising the Wilcherry Hill Project, has as its primary focus exploration of these tenements for economic precious and base metal deposits. The...

The Nankivel Dam prospect, located in north-western Eyre Peninsula, contains alunite, pyrophyllite, dickite, topaz and diaspore alteration of its rocks that is thought to be consistent with mineral assemblages found in advanced-argillic alteration...
