Exploration for possible economic heavy mineral sands carried out by Iluka Resources within an area centred 100 km west of Tarcoola has consisted only of desktop studies and failed joint venture negotiations - no field work was done. The background...

A high amplitude, linear N-S trending magnetic feature, dubbed the Coffin Bay Magnetic Anomaly, and the recognition of basement lithologies analogous to those of metallogenically prospective late Archaean terranes in Canada, were the impetus for...

The seaward portion of the subject licences, comprising 52% of the combined original area granted, has been relinquished after a reconnaissance RC aircore drilling programme which targeted economic heavy mineral sands within Cainozoic marine placer...

A small licence area located 170 km north-northwest of Fowlers Bay in far western South Australia is being explored for possible large occurrences of high grade IOCG mineralisation that may be hosted by Proterozoic basement rocks, and for Tertiary...

A group of adjoining tenements covering ground situated between Ceduna and the Trans Australia Railway are being explored for possible economic buried Tertiary marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands. During the 2007-2008 joint reporting year,...

There has been no work conducted on the relinquished part of the subject licence, as Iluka considers it to be of low prospectivity for discovering economic deposits of heavy mineral - bearing sands.

Most of a sizeable licence area located on SA's Far West Coast, which formerly extended for 10 to 90 km inland from the vicinity of Bookabie, has now been partially relinquished owing to its perceived diminished prospectivity for Tertiary marine...

Two adjoining areas located north of Koonibba were taken up to explore this part of the south-eastern Eucla Basin for possible buried economic marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands (HM), because they were believed to contain shallow or exposed...

309.6 square km or ~18.77% of the pre-existing area of EL 5564 Poondinga was partially relinquished on 19/2/2019 because in the licensee's view this south-eastern portion of the licence are does not appear to exhibit the geological features required...

No field work was done during the first year of tenure. A review of previous drillhole data for the subject area has indicated that crystalline basement occurs at an average depth of 10 m. The entire area is dominated by a 40 km former promontory,...

Ground within the northern onshore Saint Vincent Basin was taken up by Iluka Resources to re-appraise the heavy mineral sands (HMS) potential of buried Tertiary sediments there, after some unsuccessful exploration had previously been undertaken in the...

An area centred ~70 km north-east of Ceduna has been explored by Iluka Resources for possible economic buried Tertiary heavy mineral sands (HM) marine placer deposits. The only work performed on EL 4545 has been the conduct during 2008 of limited...

Two adjoining areas centred ~ 75 km east of Tailem Bend have been explored for possible economic buried Tertiary marine placer heavy mineral sand (HMS) deposits that may have been formed within the Murray Basin sedimentary succession, as winnowed...

EL 4871, EL 4872, EL 5067, EL 5068 and EL 5182 (the Delamerian Group) were originally granted to Gold Fields Australasia Pty Ltd (Gold Fields) for sediment-hosted orogenic gold exploration. All of these tenements were preceded by an earlier tenement,...

Exploration of two adjacent very remote desert areas located 200 to 220 km north of Cook has targeted possible buried heavy mineral sands marine placer accumulations that may have formed along an arcuate DEM feature interpreted as a Tertiary shoreline...

Tertiary Murray Basin cover sediments in an elongate area extending down the eastern side of the River Murray between Coolcha, Mannum and Murray Bridge have been explored for possible economic buried marine placer heavy mineral (HM) sands deposits. A...

Possible heavy mineral sand marine placer deposits occurring in the Pliocene Loxton-Parilla Sands of the Murray Basin were the targets of exploration in an area extending immediately north and south of Bordertown, and across to the SA/Vic. State...

Within the subject south-eastern Eucla Basin tenements, Iluka's ongoing exploration has targeted the Tertiary-aged beach sands deposited during the five marine incursions that occurred from the Middle Eocene to the Pliocene, with a focus on exploring...

Two adjoining licence areas located in the country east of Pernatty Lagoon that lies between 80 and 180 km north of Port Augusta are being explored by Monax Mining Limited (Monax) for economic Proterozoic basement-hosted Iron-Oxide associated...

Four exploration licences distributed along the northern and north-eastern edges of Iluka's Group 4 of jointly reported tenements have been fully surrendered, after work performed there recently suggested that their perceived prospectivity for...
