Exploration for possible stratabound or hydrothermal copper deposits in an area between Johnburg and Orroroo consisted of detailed 1:12,000 scale geological mapping and a stream sediment geochemical survey. This work failed to locate any copper of...

Since taking over ownership of five licences that previously formed parts of Flinders Mines' Springfield Project, by a purchase agreement that took force in June 2014, Diamond Resources has been working to define, identify and prioritise advanced...

An area located on the edge of the ranges north-east of Burra, and centred 20 km east of Whyte Yarcowie, is being explored for possible primary orogenic gold associated with a prominent fold flexure in Adelaidean metasediments that is exposed in the...

As part of a renewed search for possible buried economic volcanogenic or epigenetic stratiform copper oxide or copper carbonate deposits, thought to be associated with poorly exposed fault structures and related hydrothermal alteration of Adelaidean...

EL 3972 Apoinga is located within the northern Mount Lofty Ranges, where bedrock comprises Proterozoic rocks of the Adelaide Fold Belt. The main prospect area within EL 3972 is the Tarnma Anticline, a N-S trending fold which is cored by Skillogalee...

An area located in the Worlds End detrital alluvial goldfield district of the north-eastern Mount Lofty Ranges, and centred ~20 km north-east of Burra, is being explored mainly for possible economic stratiform/replacement manganese oxide...

The Burra (Burra) Mine, situated 150 km north of Adelaide within the Adelaide Geosyncline, produced 2.7 million tonnes of copper ore in two major mining phases - 1845-1877 and 1970-1981. The first phase was initially progressed by underground...

The journey from Arkaroola Village to the Paralana Hot Springs presents the opportunity to view some amazing landscapes and associated geological aspects that the Arkaroola Pastoral Station has to offer, and the opportunity is open to the general...

Sedimentary-hosted copper deposits are the second most important source of copper in the world with most South Australian sediment-hosted copper occurrences located within the Adelaide Rift Complex, Torrens Hinge Zone and Stuart Shelf. In response to...

A very small area centred ~60 km north-east of Port Augusta has been explored for possible economic buried lignite and also for Burra type porphyry intrusive - related secondary copper mineralisation or for kimberlitic diamonds. During the first...

To date exploration in the Burra region of the Adelaide Geosyncline has focussed on historic copper-gold oxide workings, with the aim of delineating further mineralisation along strike, or sulphide mineralisation at depth. Lately however, rather than...

The Peake and Denison Inliers (comprising the Davenport Range, Denison Range and small basement inliers to the east) form the dominant geological structure on WARRINA. The Inliers include outcrops of Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic basement which is...

A new generation, second edition MARREE 1:250 000 scale geological map and its explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's latest geological mapping program (1993 to...

There is no abstract created for this record.

The SADME 1980-1981 Burra mine field mapping project was undertaken at short notice, in order to collect unique geological data and location survey information from the lower benches of the then actively worked open pit mine, before the newly exposed...

EL 3961 lying 10 km north-west of Quorn forms part of the Hawker Project tenement package within the Adelaide Fold Belt that is being explored for sediment-hosted copper deposits. Licensee Copper Range has been looking for bleached, altered sandstone...

Two adjoining areas located west-northwest of Leigh Creek are being explored as part of a regional search for possible economic Beltana-style zinc silicate hydrothermal replacement mineralisation hosted by brecciated Cambrian or Neoproterozoic bedrock...

Exploration licence 6293 “Ulooloo” covers an area of 103 square km and is in the Hallett area approximately 50 km north of Burra and covers the historic Ulooloo Goldfield. The area is considered prospective for “Sediment-hosted disseminated gold” and...

An area of outcropping magnesite-bearing metasediments extending from 10 km west of to 55 km north-west of Leigh Creek township is being explored to re-assess its commercial potential for magnesia and magnesium metal production, following other...

The Bibliando Dome area was explored for Olympic Dam style Cu-Au mineralisation in the basement and porphyry copper style mineralisation in the Adelaidean cover sequence. Initial work included rock chip sampling and extensive stream sediment...
