Exploration of an onshore area located immediately north of Murat Bay aimed to discover beach or shallow marine placer concentrations of zircon-rich heavy mineral sands, possibly formed within significant thicknesses of prospective Upper Tertiary...

Ongoing uranium exploration work in an area immediately south of Lake Frome has comprised the evaluation of pervasive uranium mineralisation encountered within the Billeroo Palaeochannel over several km of its length, a short distance north of the...

Rotary drilling of 23 open holes (total 4 817 m) in a search for Tertiary sedimentary uranium occurrences north-west of Lake Frome intersected an aureole of radioactivity greater than ten to fifteen times background level in eight of the holes.

A series of lithostratigraphic interpretations of outcrop and drillhole sections (for SADME and Comalco holes) have been drawn up to assist in the production of a satisfactory palaeogeographic and stratigraphic model of the Officer Basin. 3...

The first draft of correlation chart for the Australian Jurassic is presented for comment. It includes both sedimentary and igneous rocks and covers onshore and offshore areas and Papua New Guinea to 8 degrees S. The chart overlaps with surrounding...

Ongoing exploration for possible buried Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, conducted over an area of the Stuart Shelf located 15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, has comprised RC drilling (20 holes, aggregate penetration 1768 m) and diamond...

Uranium Equities Ltd, with the assistance of PACE Initiative Year 5 drilling project partial subsidy funds, have completed a greenfields exploration drilling programme to look for possible buried sedimentary uranium mineralisation on the western edge...

In a search for postulated Tertiary heavy mineral sands marine placer deposits that may have been formed outside of the presently known north-eastern extent of such age sedimentary basins (i.e. along a proto Eucla Basin coastline existing within the...

Exploration for trona and base metals was centred on the Marla region. Work included regional gravity and magnetic studies, acquisition of airborne magnetic and multi-channel radiometric data, with follow-up ground magnetic and gravity surveys,...

Utah Development Co. entered into a joint venture exploration programme with Northland Minerals Ltd in the Kapunda area of South Australia that has lasted from 29 May 1974 to 14 February 1978. Utah has managed this programme, which sought stratiform...

Exploration for possible buried roll-front or sandstone type sedimentary uranium deposits was carried out over a broad area lying northeast of Lake Frome by a South African - French joint venture. A large reconnaissance open hole rotary drilling and...

A palaeochannel system exists incised into Proterozoic metamorphic and igneous rocks in a NS direction through the eastern portion of EL 121, but no anomalous radioactivity is present.

Orientation geochemical sampling, and 1:25,000 scale geological mapping that included long sectional mapping of four railway cutting bedrock exposures in the Eudunda area, revealed pervasive low grade stratiform copper mineralisation in Sturtian...

Five open rotary holes totalling 614.7 m were drilled and geophysically logged to test a possible, resistivity - interpreted southern extension of the Lower Tertiary Yarramba Palaeochannel. The existence of this additional channel was confirmed, but...

Ongoing exploration for economic buried stratiform copper mineralisation within a small area located 97 km east of Lyndhurst under renewed tenure has consisted of detailed, 1:1000 scale geological mapping and surface geochemical sampling, plus...

The Cenozoic Eucla Basin is located on the southern margin of the Australian continent, with a present-day basin onshore edge which extends for over 2,000 km from Western Australia into South Australia. The basin’s sediment fill comprises a thin...
