Crystalline basement in the Delamerian Project area is defined as Ordovician and older rocks which were affected by the Cambro-Ordovician Delamerian Orogeny and older tectonic events. It thus includes the rocks of the Adelaide Geosyncline, Kanmantoo...

Exploration of the buried Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks of the north-eastern Mabel Creek High for possible economic IOCG type mineral deposits has targeted geophysical features that the Anglo American - Goldstream Mining joint venture considered to...

Possible metallic mineral products of porphyry / skarn and iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralising systems related to fractionated high level Cambrian to Ordovician igneous intrusions were the targets of exploration in the Coonalpyn -...

During the Northern Eyre Peninsula Project (NEPP) 2013-2014 reporting year, exploration field work took place on two of the six project tenements. On EL 4884 Minbrie, a single 151 m deep vertical RC drillhole, BURC092, was completed in August 2013,...

An small area located immediately north-east of Paratoo township has been explored for possible buried Burra mine type epithermal/hydrothermal copper mineralisation, as well as for gold and rare earth metals which may have accumulated in proximity to...

The subject three contiguous exploration licences occupy the southern onshore part of the Fowler Domain, a tectonised magnetic domain located in the western Gawler Craton which has many geological similarities with the Thompson Nickel Belt of the...

In the vicinity of Weetulta on northern Yorke Peninsula, as part of Minotaur's recent exploration for possible economic buried Moonta or Cloncurry-style IOCG - related base metal massive sulphide mineralisation, 60 line km of airborne VTEM survey data...

PACE proposal DPY3-14 aimed to discover a new iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralised magmatic centre, similar to the Olympic Dam setting, within the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton. The Pernatty Lagoon project is located less than...

Three areas centred ~120 km west south-west of Coober Pedy and lying in the northern part of the Gawler Craton, one located within the Mabel Creek Domain and the other two being adjacent and further to the south, within the Christie Domain next to a...

This report summarises the mapping compilation process of the 1:2 000 000 regolith map of South Australia, and provides an overview of major regolith features. Map compilation was undertaken in ArcGIS and was based on the integration of a variety of...

Phoenix Copper was attracted to explore the Spalding Inlier region in the Northern Mount Lofty Ranges after earlier work done by the South Australian Department of Mines (SADM) and by Copper Range reported the occurrence of several known sites of...

Exploration is being conducted for possible buried economic iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineral deposit targets within the south-central Gawler Ranges. During the first licence year, Minotaur's activities focussed on completing a...

Two separate areas respectively located ~40 km west-northwest and ~40 km east-northeast of Coober Pedy have been explored for possible buried economic epithermal/hydrothermal IOCG mineralisation which might have formed within the basement rocks of the...

The latest knowledge of the surface geology of South Australia is displayed on the 2020 edition of the state geology map newly released by the Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA). It is a product of the GSSA’s ongoing statewide geological...

Similarities between the Athabasca and Cariewerloo Basins were first proposed by PIRSA geologists in the 1990s. Subsequently, the uranium potential of the Cariewerloo Basin has been heavily promoted by PIRSA. Both are intracratonic basins containing...

Sedimentary-hosted copper deposits are the second most important source of copper in the world, as well as being the most important source of cobalt, and fourth among all classes of ore deposits in production of silver. The Neoproterozoic sedimentary...

SA_STRAT is the department’s computerised database of stratigraphic units, comprising named formal stratigraphic units and unnamed mapping units. All current stratigraphic units are tagged with a GIS Search Code unique to each unit and used...

Map symbols are a short code used to identify various geological units on maps. Each map unit, including formally and informally named stratigraphic units as well as unnamed age and lithology units, has a unique code, representing a shortened version...
