Drilling of 6 scout holes to maximum depth of 152 metres investigated a faulted syncline 5 km SE of the township. Yields were too low or salinity too high to provide a useful supply. Further drilling should be concentrated 11 km NW of Hawker where...

In 1985 1 production well and 4 scout wells were drilled around Quorn. Pump testing shows the production well has a low long term yield and none of the scout wells show any potential for town water supply. Deeper wells should be drilled in the...

One standby groundwater production well and one exploratory hole were successful drilled at Quorn in March/April 1978. The long term yield of the production well has been estimated at 600 kl/day, with the produced groundwater salinity marginally...

The rare zinc phosphate mineral, scholzite, has been found in gossans developed on Early Cambrian Parachilna Formation siltstone and sandstone near Reaphook Hill in the Flinders Ranges. Other rare phosphate minerals, including tarbuttite,...

This paper describes the type fossil occurrences, their present-day geological setting and, as deduced from properties of the host sediments, their interpreted palaeogeographic locations and palaeoenvironmental depositional facies which probably...

Copper Range has targeted several different styles of base metal mineralisation within the Chace Range district. Initially its focus was on sediment (sandstone)- hosted copper deposits, with exploration being confined to reconnaissance field visits to...

Exploration of the outcropping Proterozoic/Cambrian stratigraphic boundary in the Chace Range region of the southern Flinders Ranges, in one licence subarea taken out close to Hawker and another a short distance to the north-east, targeted possible...

Exploration and evaluation of two large, outcropping willemite zinc orebodies, previously discovered in the Puttapa area by other parties, has been commenced under tenure of Mineral Claim 5092 newly taken up by SML 153 licensee Electrolytic Zinc Co....

Appraisal of the Beltana zinc deposit continued during the current licence period, principally by diamond drilling (6 holes, total 2570 feet) aimed at delineating blind extensions to the main orebody on its southern side. The drilling was very...

During the first year of its evaluation of the Beltana and Aroona mining properties on which it has taken out an option, Perilya undertook the following intensive work programme aimed at locating buried extensions and repetitions of the willemite...

Contains a subset of data compiled by the licensee on the subject of commercial use of coloured iron oxides, plus some progress reports dealing with an assessment of red dolomitic marble from the Ajax Limestone unit for its potential use as an...

Renewed exploration by E-Z of the area surrounding the Beltana zinc mine has investigated the possibility for finding deep, unweathered Cambrian or Proterozoic carbonate-hosted zinc-lead sulphide mineralisation. It was considered that this target had...

Possible hydrothermal gold associated with ironstone/siderite veins within NE-trending fault zones 80 km north-east of Hawker was the exploration objective. A review of historical gold exploration in the area, undertaken by two consultants, was...

Geological mapping, stream sediment, soil, and rock chip were sampling were carried out in the Red Range area, over and adjacent to the Beltana Diapir and Cambrian sediments. 1 percussion drill hole (56 metres) showed negative results.

TARGET: Mississippi Valley - type stratiform lead and copper mineralisation formed near the base of the Cambrian sedimentary sequence on the Ediacara structure. EXPLORATION: Initially, in 1962, the company reviewed the progress of then occurring SADM...

TARGET: Downdip extensions of known Cambrian stratabound mineralisation occurring at the Eric lead-zinc prospect, principally along a mineralised, disconformable interpreted syn-depositional palaeosurface developed within the Wilkawillina Limestone....

Assays of 21 geochemical samples taken from within Donnelly's iron ore deposits on Mineral Claim 4573 indicate that they have a significant anomalous trace metal content, with up to 0.25% Cu occurring in wallrocks consisting of manganiferous quartzite...

TARGET: Microscopically fine-grained, Carlin - type gold within Early Cambrian carbonate rocks in the Reaphook Hill area, which could be mined by open pit methods. EXPLORATION: Geological reconnaissance, a review of previous drilling, stream sediment...
