Evaluation of possible commercial, buried stratiform copper deposits in the Willouran Ranges south of Marree was the objective of geological mapping, geochemical sampling and shallow drilling undertaken by Noranda. Their interest in the region was...

In a search for possible economic base metal mineralisation in the Willouran Ranges, a review and statistical trend surface analysis of previous company sream sediment geochemical data, combined with MIM's own orientation studies on the distribution...

Diamond drillcore obtained from the Luxemburg mine area, which was drilled by Sundowner Minerals Pty Ltd in 1969-70, was assayed and identified as consisting of altered pyroxenite, altered granitoids (adamellite, granodiorite, tonalite), and altered...

A licence which covers much of the northern Willouran Ranges, to the south-west of Marree, is being explored for large tonnage, Zambian style sediment hosted copper deposits that may have formed in the Adelaidean bedrock buried under shallow cover....

Epithermal, fault-related gold and base metals in calcareous Adelaidean metasediments (cf. the Beltana and Aroona zinc-lead deposits), and sedex style base metals of Mount Isa - McArthur River type, or stratiform base metals in black shale units, were...

Renewed exploration by E-Z of the area surrounding the Beltana zinc mine has investigated the possibility for finding deep, unweathered Cambrian or Proterozoic carbonate-hosted zinc-lead sulphide mineralisation. It was considered that this target had...

An area centred ~28 km east of Hawker is being explored for possible buried epigenetic/hydrothermal, skarn style and sediment-hosted stratabound base and precious metals mineralisation that may have formed within prepared Adelaidean metasedimentary...

Copper Search Australia Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of Copper Search Limited) was granted co-funding from the Department of Energy and Mining in July 2021 to a subsidy total of up to $228,000, to assist it with high risk exploration of remote parts of the...

IGO Ltd’s (IGO) Copper Coast Project is located along the eastern Spencer Gulf and is centred around Port Pirie. It sits along the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton and covers Proterozoic rocks of the Stuart Shelf, Torrens Hinge Zone, and Adelaide...

An ongoing work programme has included the latter stages of: the drilling of over 180 percussion and diamond holes totalling 24,388 m, the collection and assaying of 35,000 geochemical samples, preparation of 1150 petrographic descriptions, and...

Diamond exploration undertaken in the Peake and Denison Ranges included the acquisition and processing of aerial magnetic, radiometric and heliborne magnetic and VLF-EM surveys, with follow-up ground magnetic and Sirotem surveys, plus extensive...

A 1243 square km rugged mountainous area in the far northern Flinders Ranges extending between Arkaroola, Moolawatana, Prospect Hill, Mount Livingston and Mount Saturday was taken up to explore primarily for gold that it was hoped could exist in...

An area centred ~55 km west of Marree has been explored for possible buried economic stratiform copper and magnesite mineralisation. During the first licence year, no work occurred while Native Title land access negotiations were in progress. During...

To comply with the terms of the 2013 Flinders Amalgamated Expenditure Agreement (AEA), a 30 square km portion of EL 6505, as two separate peripheral sub-blocks together representing ~35% of its former extent, has recently been relinquished due to it...

Two adjoining licence areas located ~ 40 km north-east of Leigh Creek township, in the ranges lying immediately east of the Telford coal basin, are being explored for possible economic occurrences of marble rock which are believed to hold enormous...

A synopsis of the possible pre-tectonic structural setting and sequence of geological events which has resulted in the observed development of faulted domes and diapirs within Neoproterozoic sediments of the central Flinders Ranges, and the related...

Report presents a consultant's independent assessment of the petroleum potential and risked prospect status for PEL 41, using data provided by the licensee.

A Frontier Exploration internal memorandum in which Professor Rudd expounds his interpretation of, and seeks discussion on, the apparently unique geological conditions which exist in the Central Flinders Zone and are related to the testing of the...

Report reviews the exploration potential of the three as yet still untested buried diapiric structures that have been worked up to prospect status by Frontier Petroleum, and are mooted for possible drilling by US-based recent PEL 41 farminee...

Since 1990 Frontier Exploration Ltd has explored in the Central Flinders Zone of the Adelaide Geosyncline in order to assess its hydrocarbon and mineral potential, and the relationship of diapirs to these resources. The basic concepts used have not...
