Twenty-three vertical open RC drillholes with a total penetration of 2663 m were drilled by MESA during February and March 1995 along four W-E traverses in the Stonefield area near Truro, to determine bedrock geology and geochemistry below sedimentary...

Competing groundwater use is a problem in the vicinity of the Mount Barker Golf Club grounds, which has been recognized by the parties involved and government since late 1985. A well monitoring network for both water level and salinity was set up and...

A Highways Department quarry on the southern bank of the Onkaparinga Gorge was operated intermittently between 1962 and 1973, producing mainly 32 mm screened crushed rock. The quarry is situated on the crest of a southerly plunging anticline in...

Basal Umberatana Group glacial tillitic sedimentary sequences and upper Burra Group interglacial arenaceous sediments were explored for possible economic stratabound gold mineralisation in an area located about 10-40 km north-west of Burra. In the...

Exploration for possible Neoproterozoic sediment-hosted, unconformity related buried uranium deposits within a synclinally-exposed area of reduced Warrina Supergroup siliclastic rocks, 160 km north of Adelaide, followed a concept that such deposits...

The Three Creeks EL 3567 covers, for the most part, the north-westerly plunging Yednalue Syncline. Lying to the south-east of the Worumba Anticline (a diapiric structure cored by disrupted Callanna Group), the syncline comprises Umberatana Group...

The licensee, Peter Forwood, has been involved in mineral exploration at Bute for many years, initially with North Broken Hill Ltd in ELs 248, 420, 577 and 972, and has pursued the exploration of the area through many phases. Two important features...

During exploration of Exploration Licence 3209 situated on the northern Stuart Shelf, gravity and magnetic modelling performed in early 2004 highlighted several anomaly source bodies, which immediately became of much interest as potential iron-oxide...

As part of a project examining the Adelaidean cover rocks that surround the Pernatty Culmination on the southern Stuart Shelf for possible economic stratiform copper mineralisation of the various styles known to be present in the Mount Gunson area,...

Following further detailed ground gravity surveying and data processing carried out to better understand the gravity response of relatively dense and weakly magnetic basement rocks at the Marathon South prospect, located within EL 3209 and lying...

The original objectives of this project were: 1) To understand the processes responsible for transporting, concentrating and fixing copper and other ore constituents during sedimentary basin evolution 2) To document the various stages and paragenesis...

EL 3511 licensee Debnal and its joint venture partner Venture Minerals are exploring an area of the eastern Gawler Craton having a predicted high potential for the discovery of Olympic Dam type iron oxide - associated copper-gold-uranium (IOCG-U)...

The known Myall Creek stratabound copper occurrence located ~23 km north of Whyalla, which was discovered in 1975 by Australian Selection, consists of low-grade (0.3 to 2.2% Cu) Zambian Copperbelt or Kupferschiefer - style copper sulphides extending...

ELs 3008 and 3022 form part of the Mount Gunson Project, where the targets are stratiform copper in Adelaidean sediments and Olympic Dam style mineralisation in Proterozoic basement. As a result of a detailed review by a consultant group, several...

Exploration carried out by MIM to look for possible economic primary or secondary uranium deposits related to the Weekeroo Inlier of Palaeoproterozoic rocks has consisted of an airborne radiometric survey (750 line miles flown along E-W lines spaced...

Exploration for possible economic secondary deposits of copper, uranium and gold that might be associated with known iron-rich sediments deposited at or near the base of the Sturtian sedimentary sequence, carried out within four tenement areas that...

The Woocalla licence area is continuing to be explored for buried Neoproterozoic stratiform copper mineralisation of the various styles known to be present near Mount Gunson, whilst in addition, the underlying Mesoproterozoic basement is regarded as...

Stuart Metals took up EL 2099 covering ground in the Wirrappa - Lake Blyth - Bookaloo Siding area primarily to explore it for stratiform copper mineralisation of the various styles present in the Mount Gunson area. In addition, it was thought that the...

The subject EL 3112 ground represents the continuation of tenure by Gunson Resources, over the same area, from its former EL 2516 Yeltacowie (for which see the relevant licence reports previously released in Envs 9530 and 9715). This replacement...

The 5 tenements cover 3240km2 of pastoral grazing land centred approximately 45 km northeast of Peterborough within the Orroroo SI54-01 and Olary SI54-02 1:250 000 sheets, in north central South Australia. The Mt Grainger Project Area lies within the...
