An area centred approximately 50 km west-northwest of Tarcoola was taken up to explore for possible economic Tertiary palaeochannel-hosted roll front type sedimentary uranium mineralisation. EL 3372 contains the Warrior Palaeochannel, a tributary of...

Development of the Prominent Hill copper-gold deposit in the Mount Woods region will require an adequate source of water to support planned mining and ore processing operations, currently estimated to involve at least 6 million tonnes of ore per year....

Exploration Licence 2494 was granted in March 1998 to Paladin Energy Minerals NL and Brightstar Power Corporation Pty Ltd - the Paladin Brightstar Joint Venture (PBJV), with Paladin Resources NL as manager. The target commodity being explored for by...

Since the first edition of this map was released in May 2007, the collection by the Department's Geological Survey of much new geoscientific data and interpretations arising from South Australian regional surveys and exploration activities has...

Exploration for a range of mineral commodities over relinquished parts of a licence area situated 80 km north-east of Orroroo has mainly targeted the Cainozoic to Mesozoic cover rocks for possible sedimentary gold, uranium, mineral sands and...

An extensive area of Tertiary Lake Eyre Basin and Mesozoic Eromanga Basin sediments lying immediately to the north of the uranium-rich Mount Babbage and Mount Painter inliers is being explored for possible economic roll-front style palaeochannel...

During 2005, consultant geomorphologist Richard Russell was contracted by FDL to undertake a study of existing 'unsourced’ kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) anomalies that occur in the northern part of the Springfield Project area. The initial aim of...

In the reporting period to 30th June 1995 for Exploration Licence 1944, Heathgate Pty Ltd completed no fieldwork, however geological evaluation work was undertaken. This work consisted of laboratory testing of drill core from a 1991 drilling program...

During the 2008-2009 licence year, most of the new work done consisted of appraisal rotary mud drilling at Four Mile East (112 holes for 24,460 m) and Four Mile West (113 holes for 19,120 m), with the addition of one NQ diamond cored hole (AKC093) for...

Work undertaken on EL 4378 during the 2009-2010 reporting year included the drilling of 478 vertical rotary mud holes totalling 132,960 m, and core drilling totalling 4117 m performed in 16 of these holes for stratigraphic unit / resource...

Drill core samples from Polda 2,9,13 indicate Eocene and Pliocene ages.

The Cenozoic Eucla Basin is located on the southern margin of the Australian continent, with a present-day basin onshore edge which extends for over 2,000 km from Western Australia into South Australia. The basin’s sediment fill comprises a thin...

Includes Permian palynology of Purni 1, Witcherrie and Mokari 1, Pedirka Basin.

Stratigraphic drilling has been undertaken by PIRSA in the South Australian portion of the northern Murray Basin to investigate the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Cainozoic sedimentary sequences, as well as the heavy mineral sand potential of...

18 drill cuttings samples obtained from three shallow PIRSA stratigraphic holes drilled in the Port Lincoln and Mount Hope regions of the southern Eyre Peninsula (LINC 10, LINC 13, LINC 47) have been palynologically analysed and dated. Palynomorphs...

Palynological analyses of eight drill cuttings samples from Burrungule 1 well, in the onshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive microfloristic assemblages. The oldest samples are dated as Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian), and...

Palynological analyses of 12 drill cuttings samples from the petroleum exploration well Morum 1, which was drilled in 1975 in the offshore part of the Gambier and Otway Basins, show distinctive palynofloral assemblages. The oldest samples are dated...

Palynological analysis and dating of samples from MPB 125 drillhole, St Vincent Basin, indicates the presence of late Middle Eocene sediments in the Lower Nothofagidites asperus Zone. Taxa from MPB 125 are correlated with palynofloras from One Tree...
