Continuing assessment of the stratiform copper potential of the Kapunda Mine area and now also the surrounding country has consisted of diamond and percussion drilling, assaying of mineralised intersections (best intercept 10 m @ 2.13% Cu from 427-437...

52 exploratory diamond cored (NQ) drillholes completed over the period December 1971 to May 1973, for a total penetration of 17, 687 feet.

Ongoing exploration for possible economic stratiform copper deposits occurring in Late Proterozoic metasediments forming the Eurelia Anticline has concentrated on evaluating mainly the Copper Claim prospect plus four less attractive prospects, after...

The Mount McTaggart prospect is located 15 miles south-west of Arkaroola Base Camp and 3 miles west of the Arkaroola-Balcanoona Road. A programme of ten rotary percussion holes totalling 3457 feet commenced on 11/10/1971 and was completed on...

Five hundred drainage geochemical samples were collected in an area of 16½ square miles over the Mount Grainger Diapir and surrounding country rock, during February and March 1963. Results of this survey outlined an extensive copper, lead, zinc...

Diapiric marbles and dolomitic siltstone breccia of presumed Willouran age intrude younger Umberatana Group rocks which have been folded into an elongate domal structure and, in part, rest unconformably on the diapiric core. Within the diapir several...

Mapping of the Winnininnie 1:63,360 mapsheet has been undertaken as part of a programme to complete mapping of the Olary 1:250,000 Sheet. The area lies about 200 miles from Adelaide on the road and railway line to Broken Hill, and includes the...

Most of the geochemical copper anomalies outlined by soil sampling in the Mount Coffin Diapir area are attributed to secondary dispersion of copper by weathering from epigenetic sources of low economic importance. One anomaly, caused by mineralised...

Investigation of the site of a proposed hospital at Bedford Park (Flinders Medical Centre) included geological mapping, trenching, seismic refraction traverses, four cable tool holes and five diamond drill holes up to 29.5m deep. The work shows...

EL 3492 was originally taken out to cover the historic copper workings at Wyacca, located 40 km east of Hawker, as part of an exploration project addressing possible economic shallow oxide copper mineralisation associated with old mines and workings...

An area surrounding and extending to the south of the Teetulpa Goldfield, which is centred about 60 km west of Olary and 31 km north of Yunta, was taken up primarily to try to find the source for the significant (>100,000 ounces so far recovered)...

During licence Year 11 (2012-2013), David Miller rehabilitated his three drillsites that had been used in April 2011, delivered representative drill samples from his six holes to the DMITRE Drill Core Library, and further considered the logistics of...

Copper Range is exploring a number of the Jamestown Project mineral tenements for base and precious metals under the terms of a joint venture agreement that it made with licensee Flinders Diamonds on 19/3/2007, whereby the latter retains all rights to...

Copper and gold exploration is being conducted within a small area centred about 100 km east of Hawker, which it is thought has potential for epigenetic vein style mineralisation within buried Adelaidean sandstone and shale strata in a stratabound...

A small area centred approximately 70 km north of Orroroo is being explored for possible buried economic Neoproterozoic stratiform or stratabound epithermal/hydrothermal copper and gold deposits, and for placer gold or magnetite deposits, as well as...

Drilled 12 holes aggregating 2240 feet.

Numerous base metal occurrences and historic mines occur in the Mt Lyndhurst area, hosted mainly in Neoproterozoic rocks of the Adelaide Geosyncline. Investigations at several prospects have included detailed mapping plus soil and rock chip sampling....

A number of base metal occurrences in the northern Flinders Ranges, previously classified as syngenetic, diagenetic and epigenetic in nature, appear to have resulted from metalliferous brine-sediment interaction with autochthonous and allochthonous...

During a one-month free appraisal period granted over certain current mining claims situated approximately 1.5 miles south-east of Copley, Horizon Explorations for its option take-up evaluation conducted prospect geological mapping at 1:2400 scale,...
