Possible hydrothermally - deposited native mercury metal associated with the Mount John Fault zone, perhaps in a quartz splinter vein setting similar to that of the mercury occurrence previously found nearby at the Moro mine, plus elsewhere, economic...

An investigation of seven interesting IP anomalies on the Oraparinna Dome, which had been delineated in 1966 by Metals Exploration but not then tested by that company, has lately comprised anomaly gridding, 1:1200 scale geological mapping, and...

An area of 117 square miles surrounding Carrieton Railway Siding was prospected for possible economic diapir-related base and precious metals hosted within bounding Adelaidean strata. A comprehensive regional stream sediment survey was conducted...

Exploration for possible economic stratabound/stratiform copper, zinc and vanadium mineralisation occurring within a large area located south-west of Marree has consisted of geological field mapping and regional stream sediment sampling (3470...

Early-stage exploration of the State's South-East coastal region for possible economic heavy mineral sand placer deposits in ancient raised beaches has comprised an assessment of favourable geology, historical depositional conditions and...

Base metal exploration carried out over several small sites of historical copper mining located 20 miles east-northeast of Leigh Creek has allowed the selection of certain areas for relinquishment. The Peal Box and Big Lode prospects were inspected...

As part of diamond exploration carried out in an area located approximately 8 miles east of Port Pirie, aeromagnetic anomalies noted from reviewing data of a previous survey acquired by Westchester Mining Corp. were investigated in the field. The...

In a search for the possible buried source primary sulphide orebodies to historically worked secondary copper mineral occurrences in Adelaidean metasediments exposed in the Arkaroola Creek and Barraranna Creek areas, a programme of prospecting,...

Exploration for possible economic uranium and/or base metal mineralisation in the Radium Hill district consisted of a consultants' review of the exploration potential of the area based on data from existing mines and prospects, plus the conduct of a...

Investigations of the copper potential of a series of folded and faulted, Carpentarian age, albite / actinolite / quartz / magnetite altered fine-grained metasediments exposed in the vicinity of Cathedral Rock on Old Boolcoomata Station commenced...

Exploration of the 'Burra Ridge' highland of Adelaidean Burra Group rocks outcropping along a direct line between the towns of Burra and Robertstown, which has a history of mineral production from nine major early copper mines and many smaller...

Investigations included studies on production of sulphur, sulphuric acid, and other chemicals from gypsum, a feasibility study on scaled production operations for export of gypsum, and product marketing studies. There are no technical difficulties...

As part of a regional search for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VHMS) base metal deposits, a geological reconnaissance plus rock chip sampling was carried out in the vicinity of old copper workings in the Black Hills / Mutooroo Ridge region, 40 km...

A structurally deformed area in the southwestern corner of SML 704, having many copper carbonate showings and small historic workings known as the Yudnamutana Mining Field, has been mapped at a semi-detailed scale. The area is transected by the...

Exploration of an area situated 15 miles east and north-east of Hawker addressed a perceived potential for undiscovered medium to low-grade stratabound base metal deposits in folded and slightly faulted Adelaidean Umberatana Group slatey wall rocks...

An area of several square miles surrounding Arkarooola Homestead has been explored for possible economic copper occurences, which could include deeper lode extensions at several abandoned mines. Aerial reconnaissance and ground prospecting traverses...

Reconnaissance prospecting, plus close inspections and sampling of historically briefly worked auriferous areas in the basal Mesozoic sediments on the banks of the Neales River, suggest that any reserves and grades present there would be insufficient...

A programme of inclined and vertical percussion exploratory drilling (56 holes, total 6637 feet) conducted by Noranda during March and April 1970 on leased private land subject to private mineral ownership rights, in the area of the old Kapunda copper...
