A reassessment of Marathon Petroleum's 1979 regional stream sediment sampling programme led to the decision to resample a number of areas within EL 871. The Mt Neill and Mt Fitton areas were chosen, as a result of possible similarities with the...

This report summarises the relevant results of previous copper exploration in the Yudnamutana Hill area by Utah Exploration Co. and Australian Aquitaine Petroleum Pty Ltd, and suggests an ongoing exploration programme for stratiform copper. It also...

This report reviews exploration work done from 1965 through 1993 by North Flinders Mines and four joint venturers on the Northern Flinders Ranges Gunsight Project. The enormous number of reports and interpretive maps generated are listed as...

The southern portion of the Mount Painter Province held under ELs 871 and 1049 contains Adelaidean sediments of the Upper Callanna Beds and Burra Group overlying the Carpentarian Mount Painter Complex. Reconnaissance work by Marathon Petroleum during...

Two inclined percussion holes were drilled at the Mount Mitchell tin prospect for a total penetration of 504 feet. The aim was to test a discrepancy between subsurface sample negative tin assay results obtained by the Department of Mines, and good...

Reconnaissance and detailed bulk loam sampling undertaken to look for diamonds or kimberlite indicator minerals in the vicinity of the Pualco Anticline, plus spectrographic analyses of the derived heavy mineral concentrates for gold and base metals...

Stratabound, chemically precipitated Telfer - type replacement style vein gold was the target of exploration undertaken over an area 25 km north-west of Yunta, which contains good exposures of Neoproterozoic Umberatana Group clastic metasediments that...

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 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...

Exploration for possible large, potentially open cut - mineable disseminated quartz vein - type syngenetic gold and base metal deposits within a licence area located near Outalpa, 150 km south-west of Broken Hill, has comprised geological mapping,...

The three licences now being surrendered were originally taken out by Seltrust in the mid-1970s to search for stratabound base metals and Olympic Dam type mineralisation. After Seltrust withdrew from the subsequently formed Stuart Shelf joint venture...

The purpose of the work described was to compare and contrast the petrography, accessory minerals, and absolute ages of 25 granitic and allied rock samples collected from widely scattered localities in South Australia. The processes that are...

The Mobilong Military Sheet is situated between longitudes 139°00and 139°30 and latitudes 35°15and 35°00, extending over the eastern most slopes of the Mount Lofty Ranges and the flanking plains of the Murray Basin. It is bounded by the following...

This report covers the design and equipment recommended for the construction of a mobile treatment plant to replace the existing South Australian Government State Batteries. The capacity of the equipment included in the design is approximately 50 tons...

Originally confined to the Cornish Copper line, the geophysical investigation was extended to cover the Tarcoola Blocks, Afghan Camp and also Brown Hill areas of workings. Resistivity contours supply some information as to the structure in the areas...

A gold mining lease in the Pitcairn Range, approximately 25 miles east of Peterborough, has been worked by Messrs. Asaris, Zoloteve and Walvert under an agreement with a syndicate represent by Mr. Jones. The gold occurs in narrow gently dipping veins...

Two seismic refraction tests were carried out near Williamstown to determine whether the method could be used to trace buried river channels in the search for deep lead gold deposits. The bedrock surface could not be detected as the velocity of the...

Further to the design and cost estimate for a mobile gold treatment plant, the South Australian Government Department of Mines requested a design and cost estimate for a mobile crushing and sampling plant. The plant is to be capable of reducing 6-9...
