A programme of reconnaissance and infill geochemical stream sediment sampling, conducted over an area extending to the north-east and south-east of Hawker, examined the base metal potential of the Lower Cambrian limestone sequence overlying the Pound...

Exploration for possible economic syngenetic lead-zinc sulphide mineralisation hosted by Lower Cambrian carbonate units in the vicinity of the Wirrealpa Diapir has comprised a review of past exploration in the region, two brief sorties of field...

Reconnaissance geochemical sampling of the eastern PARACHILNA mapsheet area for sediment-hosted base metal deposits has succeeded in locating several well-defined areas of interest, although approximately two-thirds of the SML area appears to be...

TARGET: Exploration and evaluation of known secondary copper occurrences and exploration for gold and phosphates in the Lyndhurst-Copley region. EXPLORATION: Including the work done previously in EL 929, exploration activities undertaken since 1981...

Exploration for possible economic syngenetic/stratiform or epigenetic/hydrothermal base metals and gold hosted by Early Cambrian and older Adelaidean rocks in the Angepena area initially comprised the conduct of reconnaissance 1:50,000 scale...

Possible economic Mississippi Valley - type lead-zinc deposits formed in Early Cambrian limestones were the targets of exploration carried out 20 km north-northeast of Blinman. Following a literature search, an airphoto interpretation and 1:10,000...

The Parachilna 1:250 000 map area is about 250 road miles north of Adelaide, South Australia, and includes the eastern shore of Lake Torrens, the central Flinders Ranges and part of the Lake Frome Plains. The ranges are composed of folded Adelaidean...

Seven holes drilled to a maximum depth of 195 ft. (59 m) tested part of the Mt. John Paralana Fault zone for mercury. No anomalous concentrations of mercury were detected. Three holes tested the Parachilna Formation west of the Moro Mine. Anomalous...

Investigations on general groundwater potential of the Hawker area were carried out with special attention being paid to the Hookina Creek, Worro Downs - Wonoka Creek, Glen Oak - Willow Creek, Mount Craig areas. An improved supply of water for the...

Exploration for possible Mississippi Valley style stratabound lead-zinc deposits hosted by Lower Cambrian carbonates in the Angepena area, 70 km north-east of Blinman, comprised regional and detailed geological mapping, reconnaissance stream sediment...

Exploration Licence 2687 ‘Yandina Hill’ is located 500 km north of Adelaide in the North Flinders Ranges. The area lies within the northern part of the Adelaide Geosyncline, a deformed sedimentary basin of Late Proterozoic to Middle Cambrian age,...

Early Cambrian marine sediments in the Arrowie Basin, South Australia, were deposited on a continental margin platform, and have been divided into five unconformity bounded depositional sequences and subsequences, ranging in age from basal Cambrian to...
