Exploration for possible economic deposits of buried, Mesoproterozoic basement-hosted IOCG-U style mineralisation is being conducted over two separate multiple-block licence areas in the Olympic Dam district, EL 3761 (North Roxby) and EL 3762...

The Pernatty Project is located approximately 20 km SSE of the IOCG deposit at Carrapateena, within Exploration Licence 6137. The area was initially targeted by Tasman Resources Ltd due to available geophysical data, the possibility of reasonable...

The eastern Gawler Craton is the location of the Olympic Cu-Au Province, a world-class metallogenic province known for iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposits such as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena (Skirrow et al., 2007;...

The National Argon Map was an AuScope-funded pilot project (2020–2021). The project aimed to compile a national-scale map of and to analyse new samples to fill the gaps in national coverage in 40Ar/39Ar geochronology. This report provides the results...

This bulletin contains geochronological data and interpretations from the Gawler Craton of South Australia that have been completed by Mark Fanning of The Australian National University, by Geological Survey of South Australia personnel, and by...

EL3466, located approximately 10 km west-southwest of Iron Knob, was taken up primarily to search the Proterozoic basement for possible buried Olympic Dam style Cu-Au-U mineralisation. Secondary exploration targets included orogenic lode gold...

The Intercept Hill Project area is located in the central part of the Stuart Shelf. Gawler Craton basement rocks in the project area comprise leucocratic granite of the Hiltaba Suite, volcanic rocks of the Gawler Range Volcanics and metasediments of...

No field work has been conducted by the project JV partners on the now relinquished southern portion of the subject licence, as no IOCG or other mineral targets had been identified there. A discussion of previous exploration highlights, i.e. drilling...

Over the past two years, Minotaur Exploration has identified and begun to explore a large new IOCG geophysical target (Aphrodite) that is located on EL 3762, and lies ~35 km SE of Olympic Dam. The target is a gravity-only anomaly with no discernible...

Following the previously reported acquisition during January-February 2004 of a moving loop surface TEM survey covering the main area of magnetic anomalism adjacent to both the Glensea Granite and the three diamond holes COD001-003, Avoca subsequently...

A large licence area, comprising two separate blocks aligned along strike, which cover the northern Cowell Hills and the less elevated country stretching north-east of Lucky Bay, was taken up by Avoca Resources Ltd as part of a much wider search...

On 21/11/1986, Western Mining Corp. (WMC) signed a joint venture agreement with PNC Exploration (Australia) Pty Ltd [a subsidiary of the Power and Nuclear Fuels Corp. of Japan], whereby PNC can earn up to 25% equity in EL 1338 by funding exploration...

A small area located outside of and adjacent to the northern boundary of the Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA) Continuous Use Zone (Red Zone) has been explored for possible buried IOCG mineralisation that might be associated with the flanks of a major...

An area centred approximately 110 km north of Port Augusta, covering part of the Pernatty Ridge plateau on the south-western side of Lake Torrens, approximately 145 km south-east of the Olympic Dam mine, was taken up to explore for possible economic...
