Initial exploration carried out near Lilydale Homestead, 80 kilometres south-east of Yunta, targeted possible Starra-style gold in the Braemar Ironstone facies. Flying of an airborne semi-detailed magnetic and radiometric survey identified magnetic...

Exploration for possible heavy mineral sand marine placer deposits within Tertiary sediments on the northern margin of the Murray Basin comprised aircore drilling (28 holes, total 744 m) in the Mutooroo station area, 50 km south-east of Olary. The...

Exploration undertaken over an area located 60 km west of Port Augusta targeted possible Broken Hill or Aggeneys - Gamsberg type massive Pb-Zn deposits within Early Proterozoic Hutchison Group banded iron formation metasediments, and also any Early...

Exploration undertaken on ground situated east of Pernatty Lagoon has included the acquisition of extensive ground magnetic and gravity surveys plus a small aerial magnetic and radiometric survey, and performing many specific gravity and magnetic...

Exploration for Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, undertaken over areas to the south-east of Arcoona Homestead and in the vicinity of Woomera township, has comprised numerous reconnaissance and then detailed gravity, ground magnetic and CSAMT...

Base metal exploration activities undertaken by Thiess Brothers in the Yumali - Coomandook area investigated several coincident regional gravity and aeromagnetic anomalies arising from concealed Palaeozoic basement rocks. These anomalies are part of a...

153 rotary mud open holes (total 19,689 m) and 11 cored holes (total 1384 m) have been drilled during the reporting period to evaluate the Goulds Dam uranium deposit and to further explore the region to its north and south for sedimentary uranium...

77 rotary / diamond holes drilled by Pacminex (total 9385 m, including 196 m cored) plus another 53 holes drilled within SML 544 by joint venturer Esso (total 7029 m) indicate that a highly prospective radioactive mineralised zone occurs within...

Clay sample CE3989 has a brightness that is well below the requirements for a paper coating clay (85% or greater). Bleaching of the - 2 micron clay fraction increased the brightness to filler grade requirements (75-85%). Clay sample CE4008 has a...

Drilling and geophysical logging of 41 rotary drillholes totalling 20,657 feet in the central area of the Lake Frome depression has failed to discover economically recoverable concentrations of uranium in Tertiary age sand units.

Ongoing copper exploration in the Mount Gunson area was directed primarily at locating economic stratiform mineralisation in the Tapley Hill Formation, which overlies Pandurra Formation and the associated Cattlegrid orebody. New work comprised...

North Ltd's Barton Project commenced in 1990 across a number of licences progressively taken out over the western Gawler Craton, which eventually came to include EL 1865. Initial exploration for heavy mineral sand in the Barton-Ooldea area, 100-200...

Ongoing exploration for Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, over an area centred ~15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, during this period comprised 3D geophysical modelling of possible source geometries for, and RC drilling (10 holes, total...

An area of approximately 1791 square km located to the north and north-west of the Leigh Creek Coalfield was taken out under licence by ETSA for one year, to enable the conduct of a joint ETSA/SADME coal exploration programme over alluvium-covered...

The recently completed drilling of 189 open rotary holes (total penetration 22,427 m), plus the redrilling and geophysical re-logging by joint venturer Minad-Teton of 19 previously completed Carpentaria Exploration Co. uranium exploration holes (for a...

The target in the Kanmantoo mine area was Cambrian stratabound lead-zinc mineralisation known to be associated with pyritic units of the Brukunga Formation, and copper associated with andalusite-staurolite-garnet-chlorite-biotite schists in the same...

Exploration disclosed widespread uranium mineralisation, with drill-indicated reserves of 6 million tonnes, at an average grade of 0.8 kg / tonne U3O8, existing in 5 major deposits. About 625 drill holes totalling 53,000 m tested these major deposits...

Exploration for possible Broken Hill type mineralisation formed within the Bimba Formation, in an area located 70 kilometres north-west of Olary, has comprised the acquisition of ground magnetic, EM, IP and Sirotem surveys, plus the drilling of 43 RC...
