An area situated ~100 km west of Broken Hill has been explored for buried base and precious metals epigenetic mineralisation that might have formed within Palaeoproterozoic meta-igneous and metasedimentary basement rocks of the north-eastern Olary...

During 2005, consultant geomorphologist Richard Russell was contracted by FDL to undertake a study of existing 'unsourced’ kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) anomalies that occur in the northern part of the Springfield Project area. The initial aim of...

A portion of the central Flinders Ranges covering the Beltana Diapir and its surrounds has been taken up mainly to explore for possible economic buried hydrothermal replacement type or epigenetic stratabound base metal mineralisation, with magnesite...

During 2009-2010, the first year of the subject licences' joint annual reporting, 27 vertical open exploratory rotary mud holes were drilled to basement on EL 3905 Goulds Dam for a total penetration of 3564 m, to search for redox fronts that may exist...

A licence area located at the eastern end of the Deering Hills in South Australia's Far North-west Aboriginal Lands, approximately 150 km south-west of Ayers Rock (Uluru), is being explored by Rio Tinto Exploration (RTE) and Delta Gold, as part of...

Appraisal drilling of the previously defined south-eastern portion of the Wintinna Coal Deposit was undertaken by the licensee to try to better determine in situ resources of Permian sub-bituminous coal which might potentially be useable for coal seam...

An area located wholly within the Lake Torrens National Park, and centred 35 km west of Parachilna, was taken up to explore for possible economic Olympic Dam or Prominent Hill type IOCG style mineralisation that may exist within Proterozoic bedrock...

Two small areas overlying parts of north and north-western Lake Gairdner were taken up by Rudy Gomez as adjuncts to his existing EL 3049, to allow him to explore there for possible economic buried precious and base metal epithermal mineralisation of...

During licence Year 12, a portion of EL 4935 Yednalue totalling 20 square km or ~26.7% of its former area has been relinquished due to the chance of discovery there of gold and base metals by a small, self-funded explorer becoming seen as...

EL 2870 Ceduna covers 1390 square km located adjacent to the coast near Ceduna on north-western Eyre Peninsula. Minotaur believed that the area, which lies relatively close to the continental Fowler Suture Zone, was prospective for Proterozoic...

A small licence area forming part of a contiguous set of project tenements in the central Eyre Peninsula region is being explored primarily for gold and base metals, that it is thought may occur in buried deposits conforming to the following...

An area located within the APY Lands of north-western South Australia, near the SA/WA State Border and covering land south of the Tomkinson Range which is largely covered by in situ and transported alluvium and aeolian sands, was taken up to explore...

A 25% north-western portion of EL 5045, which is centred appproximately 200 km north of Cook, has been relinquished due to perceived diminished prospectivity for Tertiary marginal marine heavy mineral sands. A review of available technical literature...

Deposits of low rank Tertiary brown coal formed in the Sedan area on the western margin of the Murray Basin, ~80 to 100 km north-east of Adelaide, have been investigated as potential sources of fuel for electricity generation. Attention has been...

An area centred approximately 40 km north-west of Coober Pedy is being explored for possible buried economic IOCG type mineralisation, following in the footsteps of other recent explorers there who were unable to commit to completing significant...

Late Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks of the Arckaringa Basin in northern South Australia include diamictite and sandstone units of the Boorthanna Formation that were deposited as lodgement till under fluvioglacial conditions. The clast size and matrix...

The Musgrave Province is largely incorporated within the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands and includes cratonic crystalline middle Proterozoic basement rocks of the Musgrave Province proper, as well as mantling younger sedimentary rock successions...

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...

Self-guided interpretive trails and signs are a popular means of promoting an area's cultural and natural heritage. An interpretive trail can: - Increase visitors' understanding of the local environment - Promote an area's history and heritage -...

Palynological analyses of 12 drill cuttings samples from the petroleum exploration well Morum 1, which was drilled in 1975 in the offshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive palynofloral assemblages. The oldest samples are dated...
