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...

Geochemical sampling of ferruginous lag, stream sediments, BLEG soils, and rock chips, targeted possible Thompson Belt - type nickel-copper and precious metal mineralisation hosted by Lower Proterozoic Hutchison Group metasediments in an area 40 km...

Lag / laterite sampling and a geophysical data review of an area of concealed basement 25 km south-west of Port Lincoln, searching for granulite facies - hosted gold deposits within the Archaean Sleaford Complex, plus possible shear - related...

Within an area spanning the Eyre Highway between Pygery and Karcultaby, acquisition of an airborne magnetic/radiometric survey was followed by calcrete geochemical sampling. Twenty-eight aircore holes (total 1616 m) were drilled at three prospects to...

Thick and often unconsolidated cover sequences of Bridgewater, Uley and Wanilla Formations prevented systematic regolith sampling of much of the area between Wanilla and Peachna, 40 km north-west of Port Lincoln, while no coherent base metal anomalies...

Joint venture exploration over an area extending for 40, 35 and 50 km respectively west, north and east of Ceduna targeted Archaean and Proterozoic Yarlbrinda - style Au and Ernest Henry / Olympic Dam style Cu-Au associated with shear zones and...

A very small area located ~25 km north-west of Kimba has been explored for possible economic buried base and precious metal mineralisation that may have formed within Archaean metasedimentary bedrock and be related to younger igneous intrusions....

During the 5-year period 2005-2010, intensified exploration undertaken at Menninnie Dam was focussed on the discovery and delineation of structurally controlled hydrothermal Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation. Carbonate-rich Hutchison Group metasediments forming...

Formal mining proposal documents submitted to PIRSA for approval as part of the process of re-opening the Uley graphite mine to sustain a planned 10 years duration open pit mining operation.

The easternmost and westernmost thirds (portions totalling ~52%) of the former area of EL 5931, located approximately 30 km north of Kimba, have been relinquished due to their perceived diminished prospectivity for economic buried occurrences of...

An area originally consisting of three separate licence sub-blocks that are centred ~30 km north-west of Kimba has been explored for possible economic buried occurrences of basement-hosted epithermal/hydrothermal/metamorphic gold, silver, iron,...

An area centred ~105 km west-southwest of Port Augusta is being explored for possible economic buried, basement-hosted occurrences of epithermal/hydrothermal/metamorphic gold, silver, iron, uranium, and base metals mineralisation. On the now...

Extensive geophysical prospecting, an 8 hole percussion drill coring programme (477 m) and a 140 hole RAB drilling programme (1798 m) at the Lady Franklin prospect were not encouraging. Percussion drillhole 83WP2 intersected a zone of primary but...

Between 8 August and 6 October 2021, six inclined, rotary mud precollared diamond cored holes (21WDDH001 to 006) totalling 1560.6 m were drilled at the Weednanna gold and iron deposit located ~40 km north of Kimba on northern Eyre Peninsula, as part...

17 square km or ~65% of the former area of EL 5931, and 14 square km or ~12% of the former area of EL 6072, have recently been relinquished due to their now perceived diminished prospectivity for buried base and precious metal mineralisation. Work...

TARGET: Lead-zinc-silver mineralisation of the Broken Hill or Aggeneys-Gamsberg type, associated with banded iron formations in Early Proterozoic metasediments; in addition, possible tin, tungsten or base metal-bearing skarns produced by hydrothermal...

Pioneer exploration for possible stratabound base metal deposits that have a facies relationship to metamorphic iron deposits, which was carried out in the Cootra area, located 20 km east south-east of Warramboo on central Eyre Peninsula, has...

Base metal exploration in the Malache Well area, 15 km west-northwest of Tooligie, comprised follow-up soil sampling of geochemically anomalous areas (Zn, Pb, Ba, Ni, Co) delineated by previous exploration, but failed to repeat the results.

TARGET: Possible diamonds in the Mount Wedge region. EXPLORATION: Heavy mineral sampling, an airborne magnetic-radiometric survey, remote sensing Landsat TM plus aeromagnetic and radiometric data interpretation, detailed ground follow-up of more than...

Exploration for possible buried occurrences of unconformity-related uranium mineralisation, undertaken within an area located approximately 26 km west-southwest of Cowell on eastern Eyre Peninsula, has included the acquistion during July 1979 of a 500...
