EL 4729, which extends along the Mount Norwest Range located west-northwest of Leigh Creek for a distance of 50 to 75 km, and surrounds the location of the historic large Witchelina magnesite deposit, is being explored for possible other economic...

An area centred ~28 km east of Hawker is being explored for possible buried epigenetic/hydrothermal, skarn style and sediment-hosted stratabound base and precious metals mineralisation that may have formed within prepared Adelaidean metasedimentary...

As a part of searching for economic deposits of sediment-hosted copper (SHC) mineralisation that might have formed within rocks of the Adelaide Rift Complex Neoproterozoic sedimentation sequence occupying an area located due east of Lyndhurst in the...

TARGET: The Willouran Ranges south-west of Marree were investigated for possible Olympic Dam type base metal occurrences which might have formed within the Precambrian Callanna, Burra and Umberatana Group sediments, and the area was also concurrently...

TARGET: Possible economic, open-pit mineable stratiform low grade gold and copper deposits within Adelaidean units of the Nackara Arc, in an area lying west of and including Yunta. EXPLORATION: A detailed geological field reconnaissance, review of...

Possible economic epithermal/hydrothermal uranium and base metal deposits hosted by Early to Middle Proterozoic meta-igneous and metasedimentary basement rocks in the northern Peake and Denison Ranges were the primary targets addressed by CRA in their...

Diamond exploration undertaken in the Peake and Denison Ranges included the acquisition and processing of aerial magnetic, radiometric and heliborne magnetic and VLF-EM surveys, with follow-up ground magnetic and Sirotem surveys, plus extensive...

Rotary percussion drilling (61 vertical holes totalling 2895 m), which was designed to try to delineate possible remnant oxidised copper ore reserves at the Paratoo copper mine, 20 km south-west of Yunta, has defined an Inferred mineral resource of...

In the central Flinders Ranges, Neoproterozoic and early Palaeozoic rocks are found outcropping within a series of broad, open, dome and basin-shaped folds. This region contains most of the diapiric structures in the Adelaide Geosyncline, many, but...

PEL 41 was granted to a deliberately SA-based new venture exploration company consisting of Chairman and well-known Emeritus Professor of Geology Eric Rudd, four other founding honorary and unsalaried directors, and 100 or so individual speculative...

An area of 1.2 square km surrounding the Big Lode mine historic copper workings was reserved for 18 months under tenure of seven Mining Claims, to allow for the detailed geological mapping of rock structures possibly controlling observed secondary...

An area surrounding the Emeroo Range, and extending from the vicinity of Port Augusta to 30 km west of Hawker, was explored by Utah for possible economic stratabound base metal deposits which it was thought could be associated with certain favourable...

Investigation of basal Adelaidean Callanna Beds metasediments in the vicinity of the Blue mine and Wheal Turner, north of The Needles in the northern Flinders Ranges, sought to disclose possible Zambian type stratiform massive copper sulphides...

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...

Continuing exploration of the basal Neoproterozoic sedimentary sequence in the north-eastern Flinders Ranges for possible economic stratiform/stratabound Kapunda or Blinman - type copper mineralisation has concentrated on detailed 1:1200 and 1:4800...

This is the first detailed study of the Proterozoic Magnesite Series of Reyner, 1955 (see SADM Rep. Invest. 6). Informal stratigraphic units are described and correlated with the Skillogalee Dolomite, Myrtle Springs Formation, Sturt Tillite and...

Burra, discovered in 1845, was Australia's first great mine, and at the time was one of the largest and richest in the world, producing nearly 5% of the total world output of copper. Today the mine is still famous for the beautiful specimens of...

Eight stratigraphic sections were measured on enlargements of air photos between Spalding and Cradock, up to 200 miles north or northeast of Adelaide. The rocks are mainly from the Umberatana, Burra and River Wakefield Groups of the Adelaide System....
