Evidence is advanced for the existence of a major orogeny in Late Archaean time, in which an east to west geanticlinal belt was upthrust and the Giles Complex of basic rocks emplaced beneath a volcanic cover on the southern flank of the geanticline.

Summary of geological and tectonic evolution, geomorphology, soils, flora, fauna, history and description of 34 localities.

The Musgrave Block is a large area of Precambrian crystalline basement situated in the north-western corner of South Australia, and extending into Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Geological mapping has revealed large areas of granulite...

Twenty eight wells were drilled. Five of 12 wells put down for the Amata cattle project were successful, 3 being completed in weathered rock aquifers and 2 in fractured fresh rock aquifers. Drilling on narrow photo-linears gave poor results, whereas...

Eight wells were drilled in the Pitjantjatjara Lands in SA, 10 in adjacent aboriginal lands in WA and 1 in the NT. In the Musgrave Block the best yields were obtained by drilling deep weathered zones on sizeable fault lines such as the Mann Fault....

An area located 3 km south of the South Australia/Northern Territory border and 50 km east of the Stuart Highway, on the eastern margin of the Musgrave Block, was considered prospective for nickel and platinoid metal mineralisation hosted by layered...

As part of the PACE Year 2 collaboration between PIRSA and the minerals industry, PepinNini Minerals proposed and was granted part subsidy funding for an extensive drilling programme in the western APY Aboriginal Lands of South Australia, to examine...

In late 2008 PepinNini Minerals completed a stratigraphic drilling programme in the western Musgrave Province as an approved PACE Initiative Year 5 collaborative project with PIRSA. The programme was designed to investigate the Mount Caroline...

Early in 2012, explorer NiCul Minerals Limited (NiCul) sought PACE Initiative funding from the South Australian Government to help it undertake a programme of stratigraphic and targeted mineral exploration drilling within EL 3931 Woodroffe and EL 4587...

EL 2777 Claude Hills covers 1370 square km and is located at Surveyor General’s Corner (the SA, WA, NT State borders' triple point) and consists of 3 blocks. Early SADME work (1966) delineated 4.6 Mt of 1.5% Ni at the nearby Claude Hills/Mount Davies...

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...

Initial exploration efforts in the Ungalootanna Hill area, 80 km north of Marla, focussed on nickel-copper mineralisation hosted by Proterozoic ultramafic rocks. Following the acquisition of the licence by Mithril Resources, an assessment of the...

Mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Proterozoic Giles Complex, which have intruded highly metamorphosed basement units of the Musgrave Block in an area 300 km WNW of Marla, were considered to have potential to host massive Ni sulphide mineralisation,...

Mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Proterozoic Giles Complex, which have intruded highly metamorphosed basement units of the Musgrave Block in an area 360 km WNW of Marla, were considered to have potential to host massive Ni sulphide mineralisation,...
