WMC's Stuart Shelf exploration activities from 1975 to 1985 have sought mainly Olympic Dam style mineralisation (copper - uranium - precious metals in haematitic breccia host rocks), with lesser emphasis directed at: possible distal analogues of the...

Exploration for Olympic Dam-style mineralisation, undertaken over an area centred ~15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead on the Stuart Shelf, which includes WMC's formerly partly tested Emmie Bluff prospect, has comprised the acquisition of ground...

Yields in 5 wells ranged from 1 to 5 L/s and salinities from 10 000 mg/L to 110 000 mg/L. Aquifers occur in the Arcoona Quartzite Member and Corraberra Sandstone Member at depths up to 180 metres and in the Woomera Shale at less than 30 metres.

During exploration of Exploration Licence 3209 situated on the northern Stuart Shelf, gravity and magnetic modelling performed in early 2004 highlighted several anomaly source bodies, which immediately became of much interest as potential iron-oxide...

Following further detailed ground gravity surveying and data processing carried out to better understand the gravity response of relatively dense and weakly magnetic basement rocks at the Marathon South prospect, located within EL 3209 and lying...

No work has been undertaken on the currently relinquished portions of ELs 3112, 2639, 3008 and 3022. However, as an attachment to the current EL 3112 relinquishment report, all technical data for Stuart Metals' recent diamond drillhole MGD24 (to...

An area centred approximately 40 km south of the Andamooka Opal Field and 50 km south-east of the Olympic Dam mine is being explored for possible buried economic Olympic Dam or Prominent Hill type IOCG-U mineralisation as well as for possible...

Exploration of the Lake Torrens JV Project area during 2008, managed by Teck Cominco Australia (Teck), consisted of diamond drilling some wedge holes off a parent to determine the lateral and vertical dimensions of bornite and chalcopyrite - dominated...

Two adjacent areas located immediately south and east of Woomera township were taken up to search for possible buried economic stratabound deposits of copper or other metals that may have formed in the Neoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic cover sequence...

There is a long history of exploration on the subject three Stuart Shelf tenements, with first tenure originally taken up in 1981. A summary of significant exploration activities conducted on the three now relinquished ground portions is believed by...

SALT MINING STUDY: Field tests on the feasibility of Lake Torrens salt production to supply raw material for the planned Redcliff Petrochemical Project were continued, with project planning technical data demonstrations given to visiting officials of...

ADI funding was granted by DEM to Kelaray to conduct approved geophysical surveys and exploratory drilling and apply logistical support within its Murdie Project, for a combined expenditure of up to A$320,000. At the outset of the project, Kelaray...

A mapping programme was undertaken by the licensees to test the possibility of the near-mine area to Mount Gunson being a suitable host environment for stratiform copper mineralisation. The exploration hypothesis used was that such mineralisation...

Possible buried stratabound copper mineralisation of Mount Gunson / Cattlegrid type was the target of exploration performed on an area of the Stuart Shelf located 60 km east of Woomera. After conducting detailed 1:12,000 and 1:16,000 scale geological...

Reports on monitoring of: - air and solid waste pollution; - drill pad rehabilitation; - meteorology, vegetation, flora, fauna and soil salinity; - mine ground water drainage; - artesian water drawdown at Wellfield A in the Great Artesian Basin;...

One vertical stratigraphic diamond drillhole [the 1a re-drill] was fully cored to 1450 m total depth over a regional gravity high in the western half of the licence which was thought to be prospective for Olympic Dam type polymetallic mineralisation...

Ongoing appraisal work conducted by CSR at the company's newly discovered Cattlegrid copper deposit that lies at the top of the Pandurra Formation has included infill rotary percussion and diamond drilling (13 holes for 554 m, including 166 m cored),...
