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...

Reconnaissance stream sediment sampling conducted over the two subareas of EL 2377 (56 & 87 samples respectively) indicated only low level gold and base metal anomalism. On-ground geological examination of prospective magnetic anomalies and...

Exploration for possible economic deposits of primary uranium mineralisation, undertaken within the now relinquished portions of the subject licence which is centred approximately 65 km north of Cowell, has consisted of field reconnaissance and...

Exploration for possible economic deposits of primary uranium mineralisation, undertaken within the now relinquished portion of the subject licence which is centred approximately 55 km north-northwest of Cowell, has consisted of field reconnaissance...

Early in 2001, Helix Resources Ltd entered into a joint venture agreement with Centrex Resources Limited to allow it to explore for precious and base metals on some of the tenements held by Centrex on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, including...

Approximately 30% of the area of EL 4726 has been relinquished after the licensee decided that magnetic anomalies being investigated therein hold diminished potential for the discovery of economic uranium mineralisation that could be associated with...

An area centred 40 km west of Kimba has been explored initially for basement gold and nickel mineralisation, and following a joint venture, for possible IOCG and palaeochannel uranium mineralisation. During the first year of tenure, reconnaissance...

Drillhole TER 1, funded by the TEISA program, was drilled to test basement depth and stratigraphy to the west of Minlaton, Yorke Peninsula. This drilling project followed TEISA aeromagnetic and geological surveys of the Peninsula in 1999, which had...

In late 1999, the South Australian Government approved the purchase of 1000 square km of land in, and adjacent to, the Gawler Ranges, for the creation of the Gawler Ranges National Park. This land has significant mineral potential, and has been...

Portions of regional airborne radiometric and magnetic surveys, plus a small part of the HW-IV seismic refraction traverse, and 20 line km of gravity and ground magnetic surveys, were undertaken by joint venture operator Afmeco as part of its Project...

Geological reconnaissance of an area 25 km north-east of Port Lincoln, identified as having potential for shear-hosted gold and polymetallic mineralisation associated with the Kalinjala Mylonite Zone, revealed only limited exposures of basement....

Anomalous Ag peaking at 10800 ppb was recorded in several BCL soil and drainage samples obtained from approximately 20 km southeast of Darke Peak on central Eyre Peninsula. Weakly elevated Au, Cu, Pb and Zn were returned from BCL soil and rock chip...

Aircore drilling of gold and base metal targets (23 holes, total 1136 m) was undertaken following lag, rock chip and leach sampling and a review of previous aeromagnetic and drillhole data from three separate areas, 40 km west and 50 km north-west and...

Infill aeromagnetic and ground gravity surveys undertaken approximately 50 km west of Port Augusta were followed by an IP survey and lag sampling. Anomalous Cu and Au values were returned, but only a minimal IP response was recorded. Regolith mapping...

Lag/laterite geochemical sampling carried out 20 km west of Port Lincoln identified certain areas that are anomalous in As. However, no anomalous drillcore assay results were returned from follow-up aircore drilling (5 holes, total 281 m) of a...

Calcrete and stream sediment sampling plus a TEISA programme infill aeromagnetic survey were carried out over an area extending for 10-40 km to the north-west and north of Cowell. Anomalous Cu in calcrete was recorded in the vicinity of the Charleston...

An airborne magnetic/radiometric survey and surficial calcrete, soil and MMI sampling targeted Challenger/Tunkillia-type gold and Olympic Dam style copper-gold, associated respectively with a number of shear zones and with the Charleston Granite,...

A mining consultant was engaged by mineral claim option holder Murumba Minerals to assess the commercial potential of a rare (for Australia) grouping of lens style nephrite deposits located about 20 km north of Cowell, which had only been mined on a...

Two separate areas located respectively 20-45 km west-southwest and 70 km south-southwest of Whyalla have been selectively relinquished from EL 2741 in accordance with licence conditions. The ground has potential for Palaeoproterozoic to...
