Exploration for possible epigenetic Au-Cu-Mo deposits within Palaeoproterozoic metasediments in the surrendered parts of the licence area, which lie just north of MacDonald Hill and are fairly close to MIM's 1997 White Dam Au-Cu discovery, has...

During early 2005, the Drew Hill joint venture partners conducted a regional base metal exploration programme over their mineral tenements located approximately 20-70 km north-east of Olary. Possible epithermal iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG)...

The main aim of Havilah Exploration's PACE Initiative Year 3 approved drilling programme was to test the east-west trending, quartz-veined breccia zone that passes through the central Kalkaroo Dome, specifically in the footwall of the Kalkaroo Cu-Au...

The initial manager of the joint venture, CRA Exploration Pty Ltd (CRAE), targeted a range of copper, gold and uranium mineralisation styles, including vein-style uranium associated with carbonate rocks (Kintyre model), Olympic Dam style...

In 2005, EL 2776/3478 farminee Western Plains Gold, to help achieve its commitment towards earning a 60% interest in the subject licence, and as part of its exploration focus on finding iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation within...

Bimbowrie EL 3278 is located within the Palaeoproterozoic Olary Domain of the Curnamona Province, South Australia. The property is prospective for a variety of mineralisation styles including granite batholith primary (hard-rock) uranium, Broken Hill...

Exploration for Kalkaroo or Portia style copper-gold deposits, and for Broken Hill type stratiform lead-zinc-silver deposits, both possibly formed within the Palaeoproterozoic basement intrusive rocks and high grade metasediments in an area lying...

Ground encompassing the Palaeoproterozoic basement Weekeroo Inlier of the Olary district, which includes the historic Walparuta copper-gold mine located approximately 20 km north of Manna Hill township, was taken out to search for possible economic...

Three adjacent but separate exploration licences, ELs 3136, 3137 and 3138, together covering 491 square km of ground located north-east of Olary and also surrounding Mingary, were initially granted to Exco Resources NL (Exco) at the end of September...

CURNAMONA PROVINCE SUMMARY Age: Sedimentation - late Palaeoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic. Felsic and mafic volcanism - late Palaeoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic. Granitic intrusion - late Palaeoproterozoic to early...

A semi-detailed geological mapping program has been completed in the Billeroo South area of the NW Olary Block, Curnamona Craton, South Australia. Unlike other areas of the Olary Block, this area had not been previously mapped in any detail except...

Exploration Licence 1258 "Mingary" was granted to Mount Isa Mines Ltd in November 1984. The area, of 1185 square km lying 40 km north-east of Olary, had been the subject of exploration of the Palaeoproterozoic metasedimentary basement for Broken Hill...

The tenement was acquired to cover a large magnetic dome (the Eurinilla Dome, ~100 km north of Olary), considered prospective for iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation analogous to that found at Olympic Dam and Ernest Henry. An...

Possible buried Palaeoproterozoic stratiform to stratabound Cloncurry style Cu-Au mineralisation was the principal objective of exploration undertaken over an area located approximately 60 km north-east of Olary. Other conceptual targets included...

The majority of mineral exploration undertaken in the South Eagle area, centred 40 km north-east of Olary, has targeted stratabound Pb-Zn-Ag, stratabound massive sulphide Cu-Zn-Co-Mn, and Cu-Au mineralisation that may have formed in Proterozoic rocks...

Past drilling of the Eurinilla Dome by BHP, Lynch Mining and Havilah Resources has identified widespread anomalous Cu±Au±Co mineralisation flanking a central magnetic core, in an analogous geological setting to that of the Benagerie and Kalkaroo...

In early 2005 Havilah Resources applied for and was successful in gaining PACE Initiative funding for part of the cost of certain exploration drilling on its Benagerie Dome acreage, to carry out a programme with these aims: 1). To confirm, better...

During licence Year 6 (2009-2010), the first year of tenure of renewed EL 4375, the main exploration activities undertaken by Sinosteel-PepinNini Curnamona Management Pty Ltd (SPCM) were to conduct two drilling campaigns, the first designed to...

The main exploration activities undertaken during the first year of tenure of renewed EL 4239 (licence Year 6, 2009-2010) consisted of drill testing of uraniferous prospects defined by previous exploration, after the prior acquisition of an airborne...

An area centred ~25 km south-east of Olary township is being explored for possible economic buried IOCG type and gold-only mineralisation, as well as for possible stratiform Broken Hill type lead-zinc-silver occurrences, and latterly also, for Radium...
