A small part of the Lincoln Uplands on east-central Eyre Peninsula, which is centred ~20 km north-east of Cummins, has been explored for possible economic buried graphite and/or base metal mineralisation that may have formed in metamorphosed...

A large north-south orientated area centred ~45 km north-west of Port Lincoln was taken up to explore for possible buried Archaean komatiite-hosted nickel, volcanic hosted massive sulphides (base metals), orogenic lode gold, BIF-hosted iron ores and...

A small area centred about 15 km east of Cowell was taken up to explore the inferred 10 km long strike continuation of the banded iron formation horizon that hosts the Middleback South haematite and magnetite deposits currently being mined by OneSteel...

An area located in the Cowell Hills is being explored for possible economic buried iron ore deposits. The desired commodity is DSO (Direct Shipping Ore) haematite mineralisation similar to that of the Middleback Range iron deposits, where pods of...

Exploration Licence 2132 sits within part of the Cleve Subdomain within the Gawler craton. The Cleve subdomain is a Paleoproterozoic fold belt extending from Port Lincoln in the south to north of Kimba. Tightly folded high grade metamorphic rocks...

Exploration work undertaken on the now relinquished EL 3978/5307 area by licensee Hiltaba Gold and its successive joint venture partners 1) Uranium SA and 2) Renaissance Uranium / Renascor Resources has included geological interpretation, surface...

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...

This report presents the results of exploration on the Director of Mines E.L.A. 383 at Sleaford Bay during November, 2006. A number of samples of Carnot Gneiss, Hutchison Group and Donington Suite granitoids were collected from coastal exposures at...

In late 1999, the South Australian Government approved the purchase of 1000 square km of land in, and adjacent to, the Gawler Ranges, for the creation of the Gawler Ranges National Park. This land has significant mineral potential, and has been...

Portions of regional airborne radiometric and magnetic surveys, plus a small part of the HW-IV seismic refraction traverse, and 20 line km of gravity and ground magnetic surveys, were undertaken by joint venture operator Afmeco as part of its Project...

Calcrete sampling over aeromagnetic targets within the Fowler Shear Zone was undertaken to locate evidence of possible Cu-Au mineralisation, developed during emplacement of Hiltaba Suite granites south and south-west of Wynbring. Weakly anomalous Au...

Interest in an area near Mount Christie Siding was stimulated by the 1993 MESA Barton Bedrock Drilling Programme, which detected anomalous gold, chromium, base metals and platinoid metals in layered ultramafics. Initially, tenement-wide calcrete...

Geological reconnaissance of an area 25 km north-east of Port Lincoln, identified as having potential for shear-hosted gold and polymetallic mineralisation associated with the Kalinjala Mylonite Zone, revealed only limited exposures of basement....

Anomalous Ag peaking at 10800 ppb was recorded in several BCL soil and drainage samples obtained from approximately 20 km southeast of Darke Peak on central Eyre Peninsula. Weakly elevated Au, Cu, Pb and Zn were returned from BCL soil and rock chip...

Aircore drilling of gold and base metal targets (23 holes, total 1136 m) was undertaken following lag, rock chip and leach sampling and a review of previous aeromagnetic and drillhole data from three separate areas, 40 km west and 50 km north-west and...

Calcrete was sampled over the entire foot of Yorke Peninsula, approximately 200 km by road from Adelaide, to follow up aeromagnetic structures and anomalous base metals in groundwater. Several samples returned slightly elevated base metals, from...

Infill aeromagnetic and ground gravity surveys undertaken approximately 50 km west of Port Augusta were followed by an IP survey and lag sampling. Anomalous Cu and Au values were returned, but only a minimal IP response was recorded. Regolith mapping...

Lag/laterite geochemical sampling carried out 20 km west of Port Lincoln identified certain areas that are anomalous in As. However, no anomalous drillcore assay results were returned from follow-up aircore drilling (5 holes, total 281 m) of a...

Calcrete and stream sediment sampling plus a TEISA programme infill aeromagnetic survey were carried out over an area extending for 10-40 km to the north-west and north of Cowell. Anomalous Cu in calcrete was recorded in the vicinity of the Charleston...

An airborne magnetic/radiometric survey and surficial calcrete, soil and MMI sampling targeted Challenger/Tunkillia-type gold and Olympic Dam style copper-gold, associated respectively with a number of shear zones and with the Charleston Granite,...
