The original objectives of this project were: 1) To understand the processes responsible for transporting, concentrating and fixing copper and other ore constituents during sedimentary basin evolution 2) To document the various stages and paragenesis...

Exploration for possible economic stratabound or hydrothermal base and precious metal deposits associated with the Pinda Springs Diapir has addressed a north-easterly trending fault zone and lesser related faults that transect the diapir, on the...

A PACE Initiative Year 5 partly subsidised drilling programme consisting of fourteen RC holes and 3 diamond holes, for a total of 60 m of rotary mud, 2233 m of RC percussion and 888.55 m of diamond core drill penetration, was completed at Helix...

Exploration, initially for rare metal elements, was carried out in the vicinity of diapiric structures intruded by leucogranite in the area between Arkaroola Village and Umberatana Homestead. Work comprising petrography, rock chip sampling, stream...

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...

Ongoing exploration for economic epigenetic and syngenetic copper occurrences in the vicinity of the Worumba Diapir, east of Hawker, has concentrated on field mapping, soil and channel sampling and shallow percussion drilling (47 holes for 3755+ feet)...

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,...

A group of jointly reported tenements in the northern Flinders Ranges region is being explored for economic base metal mineralisation that might have formed within Late Proterozoic to Middle Cambrian continental rift margin sediments, probably with...

Exploration for diamonds and also for possible ultramafic igneous intrusion - related base metal mineralisation is being conducted in the area surrounding the small Permo-Triassic fluvioglacial sedimentary basin at Springfield in the southern Flinders...

A small area centred ~30 km north-northeast of Leigh Creek and the central Telford Basin coalfields, has been explored for possible economic diapir-related stratabound occurrences of base metals and gold. During the first licence year, the only...

An area located in the south and central Willouran Ranges, and centred ~45 km south-west of Marree, has been explored for possible buried economic Neoproterozoic stratiform copper mineralisation and inferred MVT, replacement or diapir-related other...

An area centred ~55 km east of Port Augusta was taken up to explore for possible economic near-surface cobalt mineralisation, after historic records of geochemical sampling that returned elevated cobalt values were found during searches of SARIG open...

A large area surrounding Hawker township and elongated along strike by ~25 km to both the north and south has been explored for buried sediment-hosted stratabound base metal mineralisation. During the first licence year, after a field reconnaissance...

An adjoining group of tenements located between Hawker and Wilpena Pound were taken up to explore for possible buried economic hydrothermal stratiform copper mineralisation which may have formed in sandy strata next to significant disruptive...

During the first year of its evaluation of the Beltana and Aroona mining properties on which it has taken out an option, Perilya undertook the following intensive work programme aimed at locating buried extensions and repetitions of the willemite...

A very small area centred ~60 km south-east of Olary has been explored for possible economic buried Late Proterozoic sediment-hosted or volcanic hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) Cu (-Co) mineralisation. Previous exploration conducted by Longreach Metals...

A group of five contiguous licences originally covering a total area of 756 square km in the south-central Flinders Ranges region, situated east-northeast of Hawker and east of the Elder Range, have been explored for possible economic buried...

An area centred ~70 km east of Leigh Creek is being explored for possible economic buried hydrothermal copper-gold mineralisation that may be associated with local diapiric breccias and nearby semi-permeable stratigraphic boundaries/disconformities....

Four separate portions of EL 5773, together comprising ~56% of its former area, were relinquished by the JV partners on 29/8/2019. The only work performed within the now relinquished ground has consisted of reconnaissance + infill surface geochemical...

Exploration for possible economic sandstone-hosted copper-lead-zinc mineralisation, carried out over a small area centred ~90 km south-east of Leigh Creek, consisted only of making field reconnaissance traverses accompanied by 1:50K scale geological...
