A process of rationalisation of several prior-held CRAE tenements covering Cambrian trough sediments which partly outcrop in the south-eastern Mount Lofty Ranges has led to limited ongoing exploration by that company. Ground-based follow-up of all...

Continuing intensive exploration for economic sedimentary uranium deposits within buried Tertiary palaeochannel sediments in the Yarramba Homestead area, 50 km north-west of Cockburn, which had been invigorated by the recent discovery of strongly...

During the EL 132 tenure, work has consisted of a mineability evaluation of the Honeymoon uranium deposit, plus additional U exploration over the South Eagle farmout. Initially, 5 rotary holes (total 594.9 m) were drilled to the north of the...

Exploration for possible Alligator Rivers (Northern Territory) style uranium deposits occurring in potential host rocks (carbonaceous pelites and carbonate rocks) within an Early Proterozoic metasedimentary sequence underlying a Middle Proterozoic...

Exploration for Broken Hill or Aggeneys type Proterozoic stratiform base metal massive sulphides within the Hutchison Group in the Mount Shannan area, north of Cleve, has included the acquisition, processing and interpretation of airborne magnetic,...

The south-eastern Lake Frome Embayment in the vicinity of Quinyambie Station was explored for Upper and Lower Tertiary 'blanket' or 'roll front' type sedimentary uranium, via the drilling of 75 open vertical rotary mud holes with a total penetration...

2130 miles of aeromagnetic and aerial radiometric traverses were flown at 300 feet altitude, with a half mile line spacing. Results are presented as TMI maps and stacked profiles of the uranium channel. There are numerous radiometric anomalies but no...

Rotary open-hole drilling of 62 holes (total 27,363 feet) with geological and geophysical logging, in a search for Tertiary sedimentary uranium near Mount Hopeless, intersected minor anomalous radioactivity in 4 holes.

The exploration concept was based on searching for secondary uranium mineralisation that might be derived from the Musgrave Block basement rocks and that could have become precipitated within calcrete horizons from ponded uraniferous surface drainage...

Aeromagnetic, ground magnetic and EM surveys, with follow-up rock chip, stream sediment and soil sampling, RAB drilling (688 holes, total 17,553 m) and RC drilling (12 holes, total 1149 m), have defined an extensive zone of anomalous base metal...

Continuing exploration in the Woomera area has included the acquisition of a ground magnetic and gravity survey over the Buller Dam anomaly, which lies on the western flank of the Acropolis aeromagnetic anomaly, and this work confirmed that the former...

Exploration undertaken on ground situated east of Pernatty Lagoon has included the acquisition of extensive ground magnetic and gravity surveys plus a small aerial magnetic and radiometric survey, and performing many specific gravity and magnetic...

Exploration for Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, undertaken over areas to the south-east of Arcoona Homestead and in the vicinity of Woomera township, has comprised numerous reconnaissance and then detailed gravity, ground magnetic and CSAMT...

Base metal exploration activities undertaken by Thiess Brothers in the Yumali - Coomandook area investigated several coincident regional gravity and aeromagnetic anomalies arising from concealed Palaeozoic basement rocks. These anomalies are part of a...

153 rotary mud open holes (total 19,689 m) and 11 cored holes (total 1384 m) have been drilled during the reporting period to evaluate the Goulds Dam uranium deposit and to further explore the region to its north and south for sedimentary uranium...

77 rotary / diamond holes drilled by Pacminex (total 9385 m, including 196 m cored) plus another 53 holes drilled within SML 544 by joint venturer Esso (total 7029 m) indicate that a highly prospective radioactive mineralised zone occurs within...

Drilling and geophysical logging of 41 rotary drillholes totalling 20,657 feet in the central area of the Lake Frome depression has failed to discover economically recoverable concentrations of uranium in Tertiary age sand units.

Ongoing exploration for Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, over an area centred ~15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, during this period comprised 3D geophysical modelling of possible source geometries for, and RC drilling (10 holes, total...

An area of approximately 1791 square km located to the north and north-west of the Leigh Creek Coalfield was taken out under licence by ETSA for one year, to enable the conduct of a joint ETSA/SADME coal exploration programme over alluvium-covered...
