Detailed geological mapping, rock and soil sample geochemistry, sedimentary petrology, and rotary percussion and diamond drilling were undertaken in the Willouran Ranges, south-west of Marree, to explore for stratiform copper mineralisation,...

As part of its programme of exploration for Neoproterozoic stratiform copper mineralisation in the Mount Gunson district, based on prior target generation through soil geochemical sampling and electrical geophysical surveying, Gunson Resources...

Ongoing exploration for sedimentary uranium ore deposited in buried 1.5 - 6 km wide and 50 m thick Tertiary palaeochannels in the Yarramba area, located adjacent to the SA-NSW border 50 km northwest of Cockburn, included three detailed and...

A licence area covering the flat alluvial Paralana Plains extending out eastwards from the northern Flinders Ranges was taken up by the the consortium of Exoil NL, Petromin NL and Transoil NL to explore for possible economic buried occurrences of...

Following the February 1972 farm-in of US-based company Western Uranium Ltd (WU) for 42 months to SML 564 in the Lake Frome area of South Australia, a drilling programme was undertaken by it to evaluate a series of buried fluvial uranium occurrences...

Contains a subset of data compiled by the licensee on the subject of commercial use of coloured iron oxides, plus some progress reports dealing with an assessment of red dolomitic marble from the Ajax Limestone unit for its potential use as an...

Negative heavy mineral sampling results and a lack of magnetic anomalies suggest that two areas located south-west of Lake Eyre South have little potential for diamonds and / or kimberlites.

Economic Olympic Dam style iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation has been the target of exploration carried out in three adjoining areas which together extend for about 55 to 170 km north of Port Augusta, covering southern Lake...

Includes results of diamond drilling at Pernatty Lagoon to check reserves estimated from results of percussion drilling, and results of percussion drilling at the House workings to extend indicated reserves of run-of-mine grade sulphide ore....

Mississippi Valley - style stratabound lead-zinc mineralisation in Lower Cambrian carbonate rocks, and unrelated possible diamonds ex- buried kimberlite, were the targets of exploration undertaken in the now relinquished Reaphook Hill subarea of EL...

Possible economic stratabound or epigenetic lead-zinc or copper deposits, formed in altered carbonate rocks lying marginal to the Wirrealpa Diapir, were the targets of new exploration centred on the area of the old Wirrealpa lead-silver mine....

81 closely-spaced rotary mud vertical open drillholes (total penetration 9218 m) evaluated known low grade palaeochannel uranium mineralisation previously detected in Miocene sand sequences adjacent to the Anabama - Redan Fault by Tricentrol Australia...

Tertiary age heavy mineral sand marine placer deposits were the principal target in the Naracoorte - Penola region. Following an assessment of regional geophysical data seeking to identify possible palaeo-depositional traps adjacent to basement...

An ongoing work programme has included the latter stages of: the drilling of over 180 percussion and diamond holes totalling 24,388 m, the collection and assaying of 35,000 geochemical samples, preparation of 1150 petrographic descriptions, and...

Metal sulphides occurring in dolomitic mud and silt facies (Sweet Nell type deposits) were probably deposited in a supratidal environment, where the dolomitic shale facies with Cu mineralization probably originated closer inshore, while Pb, Zn...

TARGET: Palaeo-alluvial diamonds in the Triassic Boolcunda Basin. EXPLORATION: Initial soil sampling and ground magnetic surveys of geochemical and geophysical anomalies; comprehensive regional and follow-up heavy mineral stream sediment sampling of...

TARGET: Possible economic heavy mineral sands accumulations that may have formed within the Early to Middle Pleistocene marginal marine sediments deposited around and behind basement shoals of the Padthaway Ridge. EXPLORATION: Reconnaissance reverse...

This EPP 26 surrender report has been furnished to the SA offshore Designated Authority as a result of the application made on 21/8/96 by BHP Petroleum for permission for the joint venture to surrender the permit, before committing to unwanted...

Analysis of Pliocene sedimentation along the Padthaway Ridge has identified a major shoreline feature in the Marmon Jabuk Range, with associated, but younger, shorelines developed in the Padthaway area. Traversing and sampling has established the...
