A small area located 15 km north-east of Beltana was explored for possible economic stratabound or epigenetic/hydrothermal base metal deposits associated with Adelaidean and Cambrian calcareous/dolomitic strata and Willouran diapiric structures. Work...

The distribution and relationships of Lower Cambrian units in the Flinders Ranges are illustrated by a panel diagram and sketch maps. A new rock name, Hawker Group, is introduced for six formations of Lower Cambrian age which represent a phase of...

The rare zinc phosphate mineral, scholzite, has been found in gossans developed on Early Cambrian Parachilna Formation siltstone and sandstone near Reaphook Hill in the Flinders Ranges. Other rare phosphate minerals, including tarbuttite,...

In a search for possible buried stratiform massive base metal sulphides hosted within Cambrian carbonate-dolomitic rocks in the Ragless Range area, Amoco Minerals undertook 1:20,000 scale geological mapping and gridding of the eastern limb of the main...

Appraisal of the Beltana zinc deposit continued during the current licence period, principally by diamond drilling (6 holes, total 2570 feet) aimed at delineating blind extensions to the main orebody on its southern side. The drilling was very...

Two adjoining licence areas located ~50-70 km to the east and south-east of Blinman are being explored for possible economic buried willemite (zinc silicate), scholzite (zinc phosphate) and other base metal mineralisation associated with particular...

Exploration licence 5821 the “Willochra” is located 50 km north-east of Port Augusta. The tenement has the potential to host large-scale zinc, lead and copper stratiform sedimentary mineralisation (SEDEX deposit). Stratiform zinc (+/- lead and...

Geological mapping, stream sediment, soil, and rock chip were sampling were carried out in the Red Range area, over and adjacent to the Beltana Diapir and Cambrian sediments. 1 percussion drill hole (56 metres) showed negative results.

Anzoil NL carried out geological and geophysical studies on previous exploration data, but was unsuccessful in attracting farmin partners either locally or overseas. The licence area was reduced to ease the work commitment, by partial relinquishment...

Assays of 21 geochemical samples taken from within Donnelly's iron ore deposits on Mineral Claim 4573 indicate that they have a significant anomalous trace metal content, with up to 0.25% Cu occurring in wallrocks consisting of manganiferous quartzite...

TARGET: Microscopically fine-grained, Carlin - type gold within Early Cambrian carbonate rocks in the Reaphook Hill area, which could be mined by open pit methods. EXPLORATION: Geological reconnaissance, a review of previous drilling, stream sediment...

Wertaloona Seismic Survey - AIM:The 1981 Wertaloona Seismic Survey programme was designed by the PELs 5 and 6 Arrowie Block partners to provide the first high quality, multifold seismic reflection data in the area of likely preserved thick Cambrian...

A programme of reconnaissance and infill geochemical stream sediment sampling, conducted over an area extending to the north-east and south-east of Hawker, examined the base metal potential of the Lower Cambrian limestone sequence overlying the Pound...

Following the previous conduct of separate reconnaissance and detailed stream sediment sampling programmes, two zinc-anomalous areas were defined. One of these, located in the nose of the Sliding Rock Syncline, was interpreted as arising from iron...

Exploration for possible economic syngenetic/stratiform or epigenetic/hydrothermal base metals and gold hosted by Early Cambrian and older Adelaidean rocks in the Angepena area initially comprised the conduct of reconnaissance 1:50,000 scale...

Possible economic Mississippi Valley - type lead-zinc deposits formed in Early Cambrian limestones were the targets of exploration carried out 20 km north-northeast of Blinman. Following a literature search, an airphoto interpretation and 1:10,000...

During the period January 1946-December 1985 under review, the following petroleum exploration work was carried out over the Arrowie Block: 6 gravity, 2 aeromagnetic and 10 seismic surveys (total seismic coverage 2781 line km), plus 4 wells, all dry....
