RC drilling (22 holes, total 1322 m) was carried out at the historic Anabama and White Rock copper prospects, 60 km south-east of Mannahill. A resource of 4.2 Mt @ 0.52% Cu was inferred within an oxidised zone present above 80 m depth, but subsequent...

Regional calcrete geochemical sampling was carried out in the Mutooroo - Anabama area in a search for precious and base metals. Initial surface calcrete sampling at several prospects was followed by auger drill sampling to depths up to 2 m on an...

No new work was done. A partial relinquishment of 41% of the original licence area was made in December 1996. A desktop assessment made of the licence area's prospectivity consisted of a review of available aeromagnetic, radiometric and TM data,...

In September 1975 the South Australian Department of Mines accepted a proposal from Amdel Ltd to purchase and set up some microthermometry apparatus, in order to commence fluid inclusion studies of selected rock types and minerals in South Australia....

Results of previous work were reviewed for an area located near the contact of the Anabama Granite and a major NE trending fault system within Adelaidean sediments and volcanics, 60 km south of Olary. Low grade disseminated Cu mineralisation,...

A review of available previous exploration data was carried out for an area centred 60 km south of Olary, which was regarded as prospective for stratiform Pb-Zn-Ag deposits of Broken Hill style, and also for iron oxide -associated copper-gold (IOCG)...

After its initial stream sediment sampling and rock chip sampling had revealed that significant base metal anomalism (Mo to 600 ppm and Cu to 300 ppm) exists on and near granitic rock outcrops at Anabama Hill, Asarco undertook detailed 1:1200 scale...

The purpose of this interpretation is to provide an initial framework for the basement to the Murray Basin upon which to plan the Geological Survey of South Australia’s MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative drilling project targeting the Delamerian...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by DMITRE during August-September 2013 to process an archived set of HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data of the Earth's surface radiance properties, that had previously been acquired on 26/2/2003 from a survey...

A 74 station, single profile ground gravity survey was acquired by personnel of the Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) during September-October 2020 in an area to the south-southeast of Manna Hill township. All gravity readings were made at...

Gold and base metal exploration near Anabama Hill comprised an interpretation of open file aeromagnetic survey data, and follow-up ground geological reconnaissance. Although the area was found to be prospective for concealed bedrock mineralisation, it...

Exploration for base metal mineralisation near Anabama Hill, 40 km south-east of Manna Hill, comprised rock chip sampling and RAB/RC drilling (58 holes, total 1847 m). Anomalous copper (to 0.19% Cu) and zinc were intersected in hydrothermally altered...

Continued exploration of a licence area situated 40 km south of Olary, that straddles the southern boundary of the Curnamona Province where it meets the northern end of the Nackara Arc, has concentrated on seeking possible Delamerian intrusive -...

A rotary percussion drilling programme (8 vertical holes for a total penetration of 1920 feet) was undertaken at Netley Hill to look for economic copper and molbdenum mineralisation in a greisen (hydrothermally altered granite) body which has an...

Exploration for possible economic large, low grade copper deposits within an area centred 30 miles south-east of Yunta has consisted of reconnaissance surface geophysical surveys which trialled a number of methods, followed by a brief geological...
