Exploratory diamond drilling (3 holes, total 2061 feet) of good geochemical/IP anomalies lying along strike under the old Dome Rock copper mine workings failed to encounter economic copper or other mineralisation, with narrow (2-3 feet wide) and...

IP and resistivity surveying using 200 foot and 300 foot spreads was undertaken in the vicinity of the historic Wheal Sarah copper mine, to test for any indications of possible sulphide mineralisation present at depth. Numerous anomalies were...

The author quotes historic descriptions of the underground mine geology of two abandoned copper mines situated about a half-mile apart on the eastern flank of Parabarana Hill. From the latest field inspection of the collapsed workings no conclusion...

No technical data - reports deal with contingent work being done on related licences.

Ongoing exploration by the SA Department of Mines of the copper and molybdenum - mineralised Anabama Granite batholith, which is located 20 km south-east of Manna Hill, has involved detailed geological mapping, soil and rock chip sampling, and the...

Exploration of the copper potential of abandoned gold workings put down on surface quartz reefs at Lovely Gully,located 35 km north-west of Yunta, was prompted by prospector Lazlo Katona's observation of rich samples of native copper, azurite,...

More than 130 samples of pegmatites outcropping in the Olary Province have been examined petrographically to determine the physical and mineralogical nature of their feldspar content, and the effects of alteration and later crystal growth on the...

Exploration for possible economic gold and other metallic minerals in the Waukaringa Syncline area has consisted of limited percussion drilling (16 ?vertical holes for a total penetration of 1400 feet) to test for any extensions to the shallow, upper...

In an extension of the search for Cambrian stratabound base metal deposits within the Flinders Ranges, heading out from the discovery area near Beltana, a small area at Ediacara was investigated based on stream sediment geochemistry. 591 samples were...

In a search for possible economic stratiform / hydrothermal base metal occurrences and stratabound phosphate mineral deposits in the Clare Hills district, an initial reconnaissance visit and literature search was followed by the conduct of a regional...

Investigations previously carried out by Pechiney had indicated the presence of substantial reserves of kaolin clays in the Kelly Tank and Bunora - Balumbah areas located near and to the south of Kimba, which might have a potential for paper-coating...

A geological and geochemical appraisal made of various mines and prospects in the Beltana area has sugggested that only those situated nearest the Nuccaleena Diapir are the most likely to yield drilling success in the search for significant extensions...

A search for possible additional reserves of secondary copper ore was undertaken by Bridge Minerals on historic mine workings in the Angepena Station area, 25-40 km east of Leigh Creek, to complement that company's recent discovery of significant...

Regional geochemical surveys have been conducted by North Broken Hill over 490 square miles covering the northern and central Peake and Denison Ranges, within two new exploration licences which the company took up in 1966 after a private prospector...

Trenching at the historic Warra Warra copper prospect returned assay values from lode channel sampling of up to 2500 ppm Cu, coinciding with malachite - bearing quartz-limonite veins and stringers developed parallel to bedding within a thin fine...

Ongoing exploration of copper prospects within diapiric raft blocks of Adelaidean metasediments at Beltana has concentrated on the vicinity of historic underground mine workings where evidence of primary sulphide mineralisation can still be seen at...

Geological reconnaissance and semi-detailed stream sediment sampling that was undertaken over the entire licence area did not disclose any significant base metal anomalism, with most copper and zinc assay values being below background. The weak (240...

Exploration of the known copper-bearing Lower Adelaidean metasediments outcropping in the Willouran Ranges to the south-west of Marree addressed the many historical mine prospects and also the region as a whole. Initial work comprised a regional...
