Calcrete samples taken from various likely residential and industrial sites in South Australia were examined to determine features applicable to stratigraphic classification and to engineering geology requirements for construction planning.

Ongoing exploration of copper prospects within diapiric raft blocks of Adelaidean metasediments at Beltana has concentrated on the vicinity of historic underground mine workings where evidence of primary sulphide mineralisation can still be seen at...

TARGET: Possible open-pit mineable Lower Permian coal seams, present down to a depth of 100 m below surface, associated with an inferred basinal depression located to the north-west of and adjacent to previous SADM stratigraphic drillhole Karkaro 1,...

Site investigations of part of the coastal area south of Whyalla were undertaken by BHP Minerals Div. as part of overall studies addressing the possibility of expanding their Whyalla Salt Works. Field inspections of the area behind Murninnie Beach...

In a search for carbonate mineral bulk raw materials suitable for use at the BHP Whyalla blast furnace as fluxes in steel-making, 5 exploratory vertical rotary core holes totalling 200 m were drilled on the Nullarbor Plain near the coast and 28 km...

In a search for carbonate mineral bulk raw materials suitable for use at the BHP Whyalla blast furnace as fluxes in steel-making, 5 exploratory vertical rotary cored holes totalling 189 m were drilled on the Nullarbor Plain near the coast just west of...

In 2012, the first year after the project's acquisition, TGL spent A$6.4M on gold exploration and on doing mining feasibility studies. The work program was mainly an ongoing evaluation of development opportunities for the Area 223 gold resource. Some...

During licence Year 15 (2008-2009), activities at Mount Gunson comprised: - pegging of three Mineral Claims at the MG 14 deposit in December 2008; - acquiring part of a larger project-wide ground gravity survey during April-May 2009 (510 stations...

An extensive covered area centred ~100 km north of Leigh Creek and lying immediately west of the exposed basement rocks of the Mount Painter Inlier is being explored for possible Mount Isa style stratiform or Mississippi Valley type stratabound...

Under a new strategic focus, three licence areas covering three Early Permian buried coal deposits located at Wintinna, Westfield and Murloocoppie in the northern part of the Arckaringa Basin, ~120 km north of Coober Pedy, have been evaluated both for...

Three small adjacent licence sub-blocks, that together cover ~1.5 square km of inferred prospective brownfields ground immediately surrounding Mining Lease ML 5776 held over the former Kanmantoo open pit copper mine (which peripheral ground is herein...

The target was lignite or oil shale hosted by Tertiary sediments possibly preserved on top of a series of tilted fault blocks bordering the western shoreline of Spencer Gulf, due south-west of Whyalla. 29 vertical rotary mud drillholes (total 2729...

An engineering consultancy firm was engaged by the mine's new operators to review the current situation regarding storage of ore processing mill tailings at the Mount Gunson Project site, and was asked to prepare recommendations for the continued...
