Three separate small sub-blocks forming a licence in the Tarcoola district have been explored for possible economic buried Tertiary sandstone-hosted uranium mineralisation and for any other metallic mineralisation that may have formed in underlying...

An area of the central Gawler Ranges located immediately west of Lake Gairdner has been explored primarily for possible sandstone-hosted uranium mineralisation that may have formed with reduced Tertiary sediments that unconformably overlie the...

Tasman Resources' Central Gawler Project acreage, originally comprising seven exploration licences ELs 3339 to 3345, was initially applied for on the basis of perceived prospectivity for diamonds, however, further potential for discovering buried...

The subject licence area, one of eight tenements which constitute Hindmarsh Resources Limited’s (Hindmarsh’s) Eucla [Basin] Project, has been explored for possible buried economic sedimentary uranium deposits that may have formed in Tertiary...

Two separate small areas located just north of Comet Outstation, that were originally taken up to explore for possible diamonds and Triassic-Jurassic kimberlite intrusions that could be associated with intensely faulted shallow basement, have also...

A small licence area located 170 km north-northwest of Fowlers Bay in far western South Australia is being explored for possible large occurrences of high grade IOCG mineralisation that may be hosted by Proterozoic basement rocks, and for Tertiary...

Mineral exploration conducted in an area centred approximately 125 km west of Tarcoola has addressed targets including possible Challenger type metamorphic gold mineralisation or Olympic Dam type epithermal IOCG mineralisation, and also less deeply...

Exploration carried out over two adjacent areas located 50 to 70 km south-west and south of Wudinna was progressed under the terms of two separate joint venture agreements made by the licensee in October 2006, firstly with GE Resources (a subsidiary...

The three licences comprising the Challenger West Project were taken up principally to explore for economic gold, which could possibly occur in strike extensions of known gold lodes formed within Archaean basement rocks that constitute the Challenger...

As part of a continuing search for possible economic, zircon-rich Tertiary marine placer mineral sands deposits within its tenement holdings in the eastern Eucla Basin, licensee Iluka Resources carried out scout drilling on ELs 3163, 3201 and 3203...

A large area centred ~100 km south-east of Streaky Bay was taken up to explore for possible buried Tertiary, palaeodrainage sediment-sourced, palaeomarine shoreface placer deposits of heavy mineral sands (HM). Diatreme believed that the coastline of...

A 25% north-western portion of EL 5045, which is centred appproximately 200 km north of Cook, has been relinquished due to perceived diminished prospectivity for Tertiary marginal marine heavy mineral sands. A review of available technical literature...

An area centred ~230 km north-west of Ceduna, in the far north-eastern corner of the Nullarbor Plain, and lying just south of the Ooldea railway siding on the Trans Australian Railway line, is being explored for possible economic buried deposits of...

Exploration of two adjacent very remote desert areas located 200 to 220 km north of Cook has targeted possible buried heavy mineral sands marine placer accumulations that may have formed along an arcuate DEM feature interpreted as a Tertiary shoreline...

Three drill cutting samples of carbonaceous sands were submitted for palynological analysis. The spore-pollen assemblages of drillholes NR 3 (from the depth interval 16-18 m) and NR 4 (16-18 m) are possibly of the latest Eocene Upper Nothofagidites...

Palynological analysis and dating of 45 sediment core samples, obtained from several rotary drillholes that have recently been drilled to explore for buried diamonds and kimberlite indicator minerals on Flinders Island, South Australia, has indicated...

Exploring the earth resources in the Harris Greenstone Belt (HGB) region is complicated by a regolith cover produced by a long and complex history of landscape evolution. The present surface of the HGB indicates little of the complex palaeochannel...

Palynological analyses of eight rotary cuttings samples taken from Konkaby 1 drillhole in the eastern Eucla Basin show distinctive microfloral assemblages. The oldest samples are dated as Middle Eocene, and correlate with the Lower Nothofagidites...

The OOLDEA 1:250 000 map area, in the far west of SA, includes portions of the Maralinga Tjarutja Aboriginal Lands, Maralinga Prohibited Area, and Nullarbor Regional Reserve. It is traversed by the Trans-Australian Railway. There is no significant...

The precise geometric definition of palaeochannels on the north-western Gawler Craton, South Australia, is important in the exploration for placers (e.g. gold and heavy minerals), secondary geochemical deposits (e.g. uranium) and even for lignite and...
