Uranium has been the mainstay of mineral exploration and mining in the Curnamona Province of South Australia since the early prospecting activity at Radium Hill in 1906 and Mount Painter in 1910. Larger scale mining and exploration began after the...

Geological mapping of the Mingary 1:100 000 map area was completed in 2006 as part of the Broken Hill Exploration Initiative (BHEI). The mapping project began in 1995, and concentrated on the mapping of lithologies using a slightly modified version of...

Reconnaissance geological mapping and limited surface geochemical sampling of exposed, thrust faulted quartz-carbonate veins evident in the Adelaidean cover sequence to the western Olary Domain Palaeoproterozoic basement did not generate any gold or...

Interpretation of sets of airborne magnetic / radiometric survey data acquired over Proterozoic metasedimentary and granitoid basement terrain in the Kalabity area identified three discrete radiometric anomalies, one of which was traced by rock chip...

Exploration of an area on the eastern flank of the Benagerie Ridge, 100 km north of Mingary, targeted stratiform Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation associated with metasediments of the Bimba Formation, an interpreted lateral equivalent of the Broken Hill Group....

Exploration for Cloncurry or Olympic Dam type Cu-Au-U and for Broken Hill-style Zn-Pb-Ag deposits in the Telechie Dam area, north-west of Olary, comprised a review of previous company work, the acquisition of open file airborne magnetic survey data,...

Ground magnetic, EM and IP surveys were carried out in an area of interpreted anomalous aeromagnetic features located 20 km north of Mingary, targeting Cloncurry style, granitic basement-related Au-Cu in Willyama Group metasedimentary rocks. A 119 m...

Copper-gold systems of the Curnamona Province show many of the characteristics of major Cu-Au Fe-oxide systems in other Proterozoic terranes. Large and economic Cu-Au deposits, however, have remained elusive in the province, despite discoveries in...

Exploration for possible economic epithermal/hydrothermal vein style uranium and base metal deposits within an area lying 40 km north of Olary primarily aimed to find uranium mineralisation associated with Crocker Well - type granitoid bodies and/or...

PepinNini is exploring the subject EL 3278 for all potential mineralisation styles known to occur in Palaeoproterozoic basement metasediments, but the company considers that the most prospective opportunities include stratabound Cu-Au akin to the...

After the signing of a new joint venture agreement for the three Yarramba Project tenements (EL 1004 South Eagle, EL 1352 Strathearn and the subject EL 1060 Mulyungarie) in early 1986, the CSR-led partners began exploration for possible Olympic Dam -...

Work completed on the now relinquished area of 101 square km extent in the south-eastern part of the tenement has comprised 1:25,000 geological mapping, ground scintillometric traversing and sampling for petrographic studies. The poorly outcropping...

In a search for possible economic epithermal / stratiform / metamorphic base metals and gold within the Weekeroo Inlier, detailed geological mapping, rock chip sampling and an office evaluation of previous exploration were carried out for the Weekeroo...

After its initial stream sediment sampling and rock chip sampling had revealed that significant base metal anomalism (Mo to 600 ppm and Cu to 300 ppm) exists on and near granitic rock outcrops at Anabama Hill, Asarco undertook detailed 1:1200 scale...

The purpose of this interpretation is to provide an initial framework for the basement to the Murray Basin upon which to plan the Geological Survey of South Australia’s MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative drilling project targeting the Delamerian...

The Mount Painter and Mount Babbage Inliers, located in the north-eastern Flinders Ranges, consist predominantly of Palaeoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic metasediments and granites, and Neoproterozoic to Cambrian sediments of the Adelaide Geosyncline....

The petrology of a uranium-bearing adamellite body at Crocker Well in the Olary Province is described. The study of the adamellite has been carried out to investigate whether significant mineralogical or chemical trends are associated with the...

The Curnamona Province basement 3D Geological Model is a product of PIRSA's early 3D modelling trials conducted using 3D GeoModeller software. The work began with identifying the statigraphic units that were to be modelled. Due to the regional scale...
