Reconnaissance stream sediment sampling carried out at nominal quarter-mile spacing over an area of outcropping ?Archaean metasedimentary bedrock in the hinterland to Port Lincoln (290 samples) disclosed several strong copper anomalies (max. 350 ppm...

In a search for possible concealed stratiform base metal deposits associated with haematitic jaspilites and quartzites in the Cleve Uplands area, extensive rock chip, float and residual soil sampling traverses were followed by geochemical sampling of...

Ongoing base metal exploration in the Cleve district of eastern Eyre Peninsula has comprised detailed regional mapping, extensive geochemical and petrological sampling, and percussion drilling of selected geochemical anomalies. Assay results indicate...

1069 square km or ~79.5% of the originally granted area of EL 218 have been relinquished to comply with the licence conditions previously agreed to with SADM for renewing of tenure at the expiry of the company's former EL 67. Work undertaken on the...

Exploration for Zambian Copperbelt or Broken Hill type base metal sulphide orebodies, plus possible uranium, gold and copper-nickel occurrences in high grade metamorphic rocks, over the Lincoln Uplands adjacent to Port Lincoln, was undertaken using...

Exploration for unconformity-related uranium deposits has been performed within the subject ELs by Pancontinental Mining on behalf of joint venture partners since 1979. The initial exploration concept was to look for economic deposits occurring at or...

This guidebook is divided into two parts; a brief resume of the regional geology of the southern Gawler Craton; and descriptions for each of the excursion stops. The Gawler Craton is a large region of continental crust which was cratonized ca 1400...

A small area covering the Tooligie Range of east-central Eyre Peninsula, located approximately 100 km north of Port Lincoln, was taken under licence to allow the exploration of a residual gravity anomaly which borders Centrex Metals' adjoining EL 3317...

The Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) was a $3.5M cash and $4.11M in-kind collaborative drill program involving government, researchers, service providers and the minerals industry. The objective of the MSDP was to further the understanding of...

The YARDEA 1:250,000 scale regional geological map area straddles the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges on northern Eyre Peninsula. The only major township within the area is Minnipa, with Kimba and Wudinna both located immediately south of the...

The eastern Gawler Craton hosts the giant Olympic Dam iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposit, as well as several other world class IOCG deposits (i.e. Prominent Hill and Carrapateena). The region is covered by a thick sequence of...

The LINCOLN 1:250,000 scale regional geological map area covers southern Eyre Peninsula and includes numerous islands lying off its eastern, southern and western coasts. The region encompasses a complex geological history and contains a variety of...

The PACE Geochronology program fosters collaboration on projects of geological and metallogenic significance with focus on dating rocks and minerals from samples suggested by companies through a competitive proposal-based selection process. Successful...

This geotechnical workshop of seminars and core displays, which was held over two days on 5-6 December 2002, aimed to highlight recent collaborative research between PIRSA [MER], Geoscience Australia and the South Australian mineral industry that has...
