The only work performed for exploration of an area centred ~35 km west of Port Augusta was a desktop geophysical data review aimed at identifying any base metal or gold targets which could represent buried mineralisation that had formed within IOCG or...

During licence Year 12, following encouraging results made by its continuing exploratory drilling, Gunson Resources was able to negotiate a joint venture over the Mount Gunson Project tenements with Falconbridge Limited through its subsidiary Noranda...

An area centred ~25 km south-east of Woomera township is being explored for possible buried economic IOCG style mineralisation that may be related to a poorly defined gravity anomaly and associated magnetic anomaly in the vicinity of Lucas Hill. A...

During the eighth year of tenure, work done on EL 2639 included: - the conduct of infill ground gravity and CSAMT surveys; - geophysical modelling and interpretation of the new survey data; - geological interpretation and refinement of drilling...

Stuart Metals is primarily exploring EL 1946 for stratiform copper mineralisation of the various styles known to be present in the Mount Gunson district. In addition, the company regards the largely unknown Mesoproterozoic basement to have strong...

A research project was undertaken in 1997 by participants in CRC-LEME which investigated the modes of development and the geochemistry of calcrete that is present in the weathering profile at Mount Gunson. Under the supervision of Dr Melvyn Lintern of...

An area located immediately south of Woomera township has been acquired to search for possible buried economic stratabound deposits of copper or other metals that may have formed in the Neoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic cover sequence of the Stuart...

During the period from January 1974 to March 1976, 35 vertical rotary percussion water wells were drilled and many were cased off, perforated and then fitted with submersible electric pumps and offtake piping, to supply mine process water to the Mount...

This report pertains to the Pernatty C Zambian Copperbelt (ZCB) Project which was partially funded by a $298,500 grant through the State Government’s Accelerated Discovery Initiative (ADI) which aims to make a major contribution to achieving the South...

SALT MINING STUDY: Field tests on the feasibility of Lake Torrens salt production to supply raw material for the planned Redcliff Petrochemical Project were continued, with project planning technical data demonstrations given to visiting officials of...

ADI funding was granted by DEM to Kelaray to conduct approved geophysical surveys and exploratory drilling and apply logistical support within its Murdie Project, for a combined expenditure of up to A$320,000. At the outset of the project, Kelaray...

Continued exploration for stratabound base metals across an area of the southern Stuart Shelf, extending west and north-west of Port Augusta, has included an evaluation of the results of previous stratigraphic drilling on the prior-held EL 332, plus...

Regional exploration for Mount Gunson type stratabound copper mineralisation over an area extending from Whyalla to near Lake Torrens comprised geological mapping, rock chip geochemical sampling, and the drilling of 157 rotary stratigraphic holes...

Ongoing exploration for a possible Cattlegrid type stratabound copper deposit over an area south-west of Lake Torrens included aerial magnetic and EM surveys, drill testing of EM anomalies by 47 percussion holes totalling 2086 m, a regional magnetic...

The results of 1185 line km of aerial EM surveying carried out in the vicinity of Winnie Pinnie Dam, 85 km north-west of Port Augusta, using the Barringer INPUT system, have been interpreted as a possible means of identifying prospective Adelaidean...

A mapping programme was undertaken by the licensees to test the possibility of the near-mine area to Mount Gunson being a suitable host environment for stratiform copper mineralisation. The exploration hypothesis used was that such mineralisation...

Reports describe the results of two attempts to use seismic refraction methods to map an unconformable subsurface interface between lithic sandstone and quartzite units within the Whyalla Sandstone. This palaeosurface is important as a locus for...
