An office-based prospectivity review only has been performed on the relinquished portions of the licence, while on-ground activities have concentrated on the Aurora Tank and Mars prospects located within the retained acreage.

The availability of satellite-borne ASTER data, which is intrinsically "geologically-tuned" over most of the Earth's land surface, has introduced the possibility of generating seamless geological map products that can usefully span across geological...

Diamonds and base and precious metal exploration undertaken north-east of Port Kenny on western Eyre Peninsula comprised loam sampling for kimberlite indicator minerals, RC drilling (7 vertical holes, total 470 m), plus bedrock petrological, heavy...

North Ltd's Barton Project commenced in 1990 across a number of licences progressively taken out over the western Gawler Craton, which eventually came to include EL 1853. Initial exploration for heavy mineral sand in the Barton-Ooldea area, 100-200...

Several potential buried diatreme targets, plus regional basement potential for northeast-trending Proterozoic Cu-Au and Ni-Cu mineralisation, were identified within the Nullarbor Regional Reserve and Yalata Aboriginal Lands on western Eyre Peninsula....

Exploration for trona and base metals was centred on the Marla region. Work included regional gravity and magnetic studies, acquisition of airborne magnetic and multi-channel radiometric data, with follow-up ground magnetic and gravity surveys,...

In a search for possible buried economic Olympic Dam style base metal mineralisation across the area situated between Killawarra and Kalkaroo stations, the licensee carried out prospect gridding, 1:10,000 scale geological mapping, rock chip sampling,...

Exploration for possible epigenetic or stratabound uranium deposits over a wide area of the Cleve Uplands has consisted of acquiring an airborne radioactivity survey with ground follow-up, to assist in target selection prior to the commencement of...

Exploration for possible Olympic Dam - type base metals was undertaken in an area located 105 km south-east of Yunta, based on the recognition of steep magnetic gradient anomalies juxtaposed with a regionally significant linear crustal structure....

Report describes observations of outcrop and stratigraphy made during a brief geological reconnaissance of the western and southern margins of OEL 12, not previously visited by other workers for the licensee. A closer examination was made of the area...

Greenfields uranium exploration of Mesozoic and Cainozoic sediments was carried out over an interpreted synclinal feature on Murnpeowie Station, in an area located between the Mount Babbage Block and the Willouran Ranges. The target was possible...

TARGET: Sedimentary uranium roll-front orebodies within buried Early Tertiary palaeochannels underlying the Lake Frome Plains to the south and east of the Beverley deposit. EXPLORATION: 25 rotary drillholes totalling 14,696 feet were put down to...

Further exploration of a radiometrically anomalous basinal area situated about 100 km east of Lake Frome, which is considered to be associated with the western flank of a sizeable Tertiary palaeochannel, has comprised open hole rotary drilling and...

Four stratigraphic rotary drillholes totalling 424 m were put down near the Woolshed bore on Millers Creek Station to explore for possible buried sedimentary uranium deposits. The holes penetrated Early Permian marine sediments, as dated by limited...

Reconnaissance exploration for possible Cainozoic sedimentary uranium deposits across part of central Eyre Peninsula sought to remotely map any erosional depressions in the buried basement surface prior to drilling interpreted palaeochannel sandstone...

The possibility that economic coal seams may occur in suspected buried Lower Permian sediments occupying the north-western corner of the Canegrass Lobe, where no deep stratigraphic drilling has hitherto been done, was investigated by Minad using...

Continuing collection and interpretation of geophysical and geological data from the southern Frome Embayment region has resolved that the areas of ground now being relinquished are probably not prospective for finding viable sedimentary-type uranium...

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 possible economic sedimentary uranium occurrences undertaken near Kyancutta, a regional geological reconnaissance was carried out to locate exposed basement outcrops, and past drilling records were examined to determine the cover...
