Following a review of previous company exploration and image interpretation of SAEI and BMR aeromagnetic data, a 3166 line km airborne magnetic/radiometric survey, with follow-up ground magnetics and air core drilling (282 holes, 4559 m), was carried...

Iron ore mineralisation similar to that mined in the Middleback Range has been investigated at the Hercules prospect, located 90 km west-northwest of Whyalla, where a large, high intensity aeromagnetic anomaly and associated 12 km long outcrop of...

Exploration for possible buried stratiform Pb-Zn-Ag deposits of the Aggeneys / Gamsberg and Broken Hill type, associated with magnetitic and haematitic quartzites within the Early Proterozoic Hutchison Group, has included acquiring ground magnetic...

Exploration for possible Broken Hill style Early Proterozoic stratiform base metal mineralisation and for kimberlitic diamonds within an area 15 km north-west of Tumby Bay comprised a gravity survey and loam and stream sediment sampling. Cu-Zn values...

An area centred on the hamlet of Green Patch, located ~10 km north-west of Port Lincoln, was taken up to appraise the iron ore potential of known near surface BIF magnetite mineralisation occurring at the Greenpatch (sic) prospect that had been...

The central portion of EL 5791 covering 77 square km or half of the originally granted licence area has been relinquished due to its now perceived diminished prospectivity for economic graphite, cobalt or zinc mineralisation. No field work was done on...

Four styles of mineralisation formed the basis for exploration in the Paney-Buckleboo area, namely, stratiform sedex (Broken Hill style), shear-hosted epigenetic gold and base metals (Tunkillia style), skarn-related gold and base metals (Menninnie Dam...

A small licence area consisting of three separate portions, located approximately 30 km west-southwest of Whyalla, has been explored for possible economic, basement granitoid intrusion - related buried IOCG and vein style uranium mineralisation, as...

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...

Banded iron formation (BIF) rock outcrops and an associated 15 km long aeromagnetic anomaly located about 20 km west of Iron Baron were chosen by Centrex Metals as high quality targets deserving of exploration for economic iron mineralisation...

An area centred ~30 km north-west of Cowell has been explored for possible buried graphite mineralisation that might have formed within highly metamorphosed Archaean to Proterozoic bedrock sediments located adjacent to large crustal penetrating...

Most of a small licence area located ~19 km west-northwest of Cleve has been surrendered following the completion of a helicopter-borne EM survey over the entire tenement during July 2012, looking for signs of possible buried graphite mineralisation...

An area spanning the western margin of Lake Gilles, 50 km north-east of Kimba, was investigated for possible stratiform, shear-hosted, skarn-related and Olympic Dam - style mineralisation. Initial regional calcrete geochemical sampling returned...

Abstract continued : During January-February 1993, five traverses spaced 800 m apart of RAB drillholes put in 50 m apart (57 vertical holes for a total penetration of 2688 m) were completed at Death Adder prospect by Aberfoyle Resources to appraise...

During the 2006-2007 licence reporting year (Year 16), on renewed EL 3516 Middleback Range, incoming new licensee OneSteel determined from a review of BHP Billiton's drilling database that some 3.1 Mt of JORC 'inferred' category iron ore (haematite)...

A small area centred 11 km north-west of Iron Baron has been relinquished from the northern sub-block of the subject licence. Within this area during the second half of 2009, outcrops of silcrete and ferricrete were geologically mapped, and 2 rock...

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,...

After Helix Resources farmed into the Middleback Range in mid-1998, seeking to determine the iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation potential of that region, where no previous such exploration had occurred, it undertook systematic...

Exploration Licence 5870 ‘Carpie Puntha’, held by Archer Exploration Limited (Archer) is located on the eastern Eyre Peninsula within the Cleve Domain of the Gawler Craton. The presence of the Middleback Jaspilite provides for a small range of...

An area in the Cowell Hills centred ~20 km north of Tumby Bay on eastern Eyre Peninsula was taken up primarily to explore and evaluate known talc and graphite occurrences, but the grant licensee's initial review of previous exploration data revealed...
