Over the past two years, Minotaur Exploration has identified and begun to explore a large new IOCG geophysical target (Aphrodite) that is located on EL 3762, and lies ~35 km SE of Olympic Dam. The target is a gravity-only anomaly with no discernible...

A large licence area, comprising two separate blocks aligned along strike, which cover the northern Cowell Hills and the less elevated country stretching north-east of Lucky Bay, was taken up by Avoca Resources Ltd as part of a much wider search...

On 21/11/1986, Western Mining Corp. (WMC) signed a joint venture agreement with PNC Exploration (Australia) Pty Ltd [a subsidiary of the Power and Nuclear Fuels Corp. of Japan], whereby PNC can earn up to 25% equity in EL 1338 by funding exploration...

The primary aim of the U-Pb geochronology work reported herein was to constrain the age of granites that form the principal host unit to the minor mineralisation and extensive alteration present within the Chianti Cu-Au prospect located in the eastern...

The Gawler Craton preserves a tectonic history spanning the interval c. 3200 – 1400 Ma, and its evolution is dominated by Neoarchean to Mesoproterozoic tectonic events. Prior to the Jurassic-Cretaceous breakup of Australia and Antarctica, the Gawler...

The subject field excursion performed in August-September 2000 in part mimicked that held by the GSSA during September 1997, but included 6 additional stops programmed for Day 1 (31st August 2000) to examine Archaean geology at the southern tip of...

INTRODUCTION TO THE GUIDE Northern Yorke Peninsula (NYP) is within the southern portion of the Olympic Domain of the eastern Gawler Craton, which is arguably the world’s most fertile IOCG belt. That such a belt existed was only realised when Western...

While South Australia is well known as having within its borders major iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposits such as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill, Carrapateena and Hillside, there has until now been a lack of publically accessible...

PACE Initiative Year 2 funding, to assist with drilling two deep holes on the Carra-east anomaly located near Salt Creek, 8 km west of where the Carrapateena Arm southern shoreline meets central Lake Torrens, was granted to RMG Services in May 2005....

Petrophysical properties of rocks are an underutilised data set that is rarely routinely collected. With the recent advances in geophysical modelling there is now an increasing need to collect petrophysical data as a vital link between geophysical...

This data package comprises all of the GIS-related technical elements of a preliminary basement solid geology interpretation, which has been undertaken by DSD for the purpose of updating a fundamental mineral exploration-guiding dataset applicable to...

The Gawler Province 3D Geological Model is the second product of PIRSA's early 3D modelling trials conducted using 3D GeoModeller software. The work began with identifying the statigraphic units that were to be modelled. Due to the regional scale of...

This Report Book contains zircon U-Pb geochronological data obtained between December 2006 and June 2007, for rock samples derived from the Gawler Craton of South Australia. The geochronological study was undertaken as part of the National Geoscience...

The eastern Gawler Craton hosts the giant Olympic Dam iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposit, as well as several other world class IOCG deposits (i.e. Prominent Hill and Carrapateena). The region is covered by a thick sequence of...

The MAITLAND Special 1:250,000 scale geological map covers the greater part of South Australia's Yorke Peninsula. The rocks in the map area comprise deformed Palaeoproterozoic and early Mesoproterozoic basement of the south-eastern Gawler Craton, and...

An area centred approximately 110 km north of Port Augusta, covering part of the Pernatty Ridge plateau on the south-western side of Lake Torrens, approximately 145 km south-east of the Olympic Dam mine, was taken up to explore for possible economic...

As part of the PACE Initiative Year 4 drilling project subsidy approvals, Teck Cominco was granted funding towards drilling one hole on the Horse Latitude target located approximately 22 km south-southwest of the Carrapateena prospect, an established...

No exploration work has been undertaken on either of the recently relinquished portions of the two subject licences. Within the JV project tenements, exploration targets being addressed are: (1) possible economic buried IOCG (iron oxide-associated...

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...

During licence Year 10 to 6th November 2012, exploration work undertaken by JV partner Renaissance Uranium (RNU) comprised the drilling of five rotary mud-diamond drill holes targeting five local geophysical anomalies within the Glensea Prospect,...
