Mines and Energy South Australia are currently investigating the geometry and ore grades of banded iron formation deposits within the Gawler Craton near Coober Pedy, for possible use in the production of pig iron. Core samples from five diamond cored...

Mineral exploration data from the BARTON and OOLDEA 1:250 000 sheet areas, which are held in the SADME open file Envelope system, are summarized and anomalous or significant data highlighted. Targets: - Base metal mineralization from anomalous drill...

Exploration for possible economic stratiform gold and base metals hosted by Palaeoproterozoic Willyama Supergroup metasediments and intrusive igneous rocks, undertaken within an area located to the north of the Barrier Highway and centred...

An area located approximately 160 km north-northwest of Ceduna is being explored for possible economic nickel-copper-platinum group metal magmatic mineral deposits, which may have formed within Archaean to Proterozoic basement rocks in a geological...

Exploration for Challenger - type primary gold deposits that may possibly have formed within buried Archaean basement rocks in the Commonwealth Hill area, which is the purpose of one of two joint venture agreements currently in force between Minotaur...

No field work was performed over a small licence area located approximately 40 km east-southeast of Tarcoola, where an E-W elongated intense magnetic anomaly corresponds to a low hill of outcropping banded iron formation with an eastwards extension...

Exploration for possible economic gold occurrences in an area surrounding Outalpa Hill in the Olary Ranges, 25 km north of Manna Hill township, has been conducted initially by a private prospecting syndicate with the assistance of industry...

Three adjacent but separate exploration licences, ELs 3136, 3137 and 3138, together covering 491 square km of ground located north-east of Olary and also surrounding Mingary, were initially granted to Exco Resources NL (Exco) at the end of September...

Exploration of an area located on western Eyre Peninsula between Sheringa and Mount Hope is continuing, with the intent of discovering economic buried base and precious metal deposits of volcanogenic sediment-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) style...

The banded iron formations associated with various tillite in South Australia have been recognised as being potential sources for iron however the low-grade nature of these bands has been one of the limiting factors in why they have not been...

To date, land access restrictions imposed by the Commonwealth Department of Defence have prevented any field work from occurring on the subject tenement, taken up to cover the Giffen Well magnetite iron ore deposit and adjacent inferred prospective...

During Year 6 of the project, Trafford Resources designed their drilling program to test the extent of the Pb/Zn/Ag/U mineralisation at the Telephone Dam Prospect, while JV partners Ironclad Mining’s drilling program was designed to define the Direct...

Within an area of the Wilgena and Christie Domains centred 40 km north of Tarcoola, exploration is continuing for Archaean to Proterozoic basement-hosted epithermal, hydrothermal and metamorphic type gold and base metal occurrences. Here an 841 square...

An area centred ~50 km south west of Cockburn is being explored for possible economic base and precious metal mineralisation that may have formed in buried Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks, as well as for any secondary uranium mineralisation that may...

A licence area located in South Australia's Far North-west Aboriginal Lands, and centred approximately 20 km to the south-east of the Surveyor Generals Corner at the borders of Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory, has been...

Exploration for possible economic hypogene base metal sulphide deposits associated with poorly exposed iron-rich linear outcrops, overlying faulted Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic basement which is obscured by extensive Cainozoic sedimentary cover rocks...

Extensive literature and geological and geochemical field investigations of historic mines and prospects at the Mount Grainger and Oodla Wirra Goldfields have failed to disclose any remaining economic gold occurrences. The sparse native gold occurs...

Geological investigations have delineated a dolomite deposit extending at least 8 miles along the lower Neales River and exposed in its banks. An indicated resource of approximately 20 million tons is estimated to be present. It is considered that...

Due to catastrophic flood damage to Cosmo’s financial investments, no field work was undertaken during the twenty-first year of tenure under renewed EL 4565. In December 2010, Cosmo submitted to PIRSA a Declaration of Environmental Factors for its...

Secondary copper mineralisation at the Cutana copper mine appears to be limited to a length of about 30 feet at the surface, where historic workings have excavated a swell to 3 feet wide in a quartz-ironstone reef that otherwise narrows to 18 inches...
