This bulletin contains geochronological data and interpretations from the Gawler Craton of South Australia that have been completed by Mark Fanning of The Australian National University, by Geological Survey of South Australia personnel, and by...

This report outlines the history and concept of the Torrens Hinge Zone project. An account is given of the regional geology, geophysics, geochronology and stratigraphic drilling in the Bute region and adjoining areas of northern Yorke Peninsula. An...

A number of small, disjoint parcels of available exploration ground in the Moonta-Wallaroo district were taken up by Minotaur early in 2010 to assess their basement IOCG mineralisation potential. A preliminary review done by Minotaur of historic...

An area on northern Yorke Peninsula comprising five semicontiguous sub-blocks which are centred ~23 south-southeast of Moonta has been explored for possible buried economic IOCG type mineralisation which could have formed within Palaeoproterozoic or...

When Phelps Dodge began managing exploration on EL 2885 in mid-2002, its focus was on defining structurally-controlled magnetic targets that had remained untested, but which could host significant sized deposits of Olympic Dam or Ernest Henry type...

Plans only - 1:100k scale. These are copies of large map transparencies forming part of the 1988 SADME - compiled Moonta/Wallaroo Exploration Data Package that was advertised in Mineral Industry Quarterly No. 51.

Returns from copper and gold won from the Moonta-Wallaroo district supported the South Australian economy from 1860-1920. During those 60 years some 355,000 t of copper and 2 t of gold were extracted from the twin mining fields of Wallaroo and Moonta:...

This excursion was designed with the intent of introducing its participants to the geology, mineralisation and alteration styles present in the Moonta - Wallaroo region, through guided drill core inspection, a trip to the Wheal Hughes open pit mine,...

This report presents the results of a Terranechron [registered brand name for this proprietary technique] study of detrital zircons from modern stream sediments of the Gawler Craton. The Terranechron approach involves obtaining uranium - lead decay...

This tour is concerned with aspects of the soils, geology, landforms, clays and mining on Yorke Peninsula, and likewise for the northern Adelaide Plains which are separated from the Peninsula by Gulf St Vincent. Both of these regions are among the...

Prospecting of the lease areas has been restricted to surface examination of the locations of previously noted geophysical (magnetic, electrical resistivity) and geochemical (soil sampling) anomalies. One of four old caved-in prospecting shafts found...

This dataset contains the results of exhaustive greenfields geophysical, geological and geochemical investigations carried out by 'modern' methods over the Wallaroo - Moonta mining district during 1948 by the Zinc Corp. and its US joint venture...

Report contains brief geological logs/comments for various shallow percussion/diamond drillholes put down in the Moonta - Wallaroo - Kadina district as grounding points for the electrodes of intended resistivity surveys. The holes were drilled by...

Gold and base metal exploration conducted near the SA Lower North township of Bute, 140 km north-west of Adelaide, comprised the conduct of IP and ground magnetic surveys and RC drilling (4 holes, total 350 m). Two holes drilled on magnetic anomaly...

The late Palaeoproterozoic Wallaroo Group is interpreted to have been deposited during a major rift event in the south-eastern Gawler Craton during ~1770-1740 Ma. On Yorke Peninsula the group contains three lithological units, viz. Wandearah...

Geochronology enables us to determine the age of rocks and minerals. The variety of isotopic geochronological techniques give complementary information on, for example, the timing of igneous or metamorphic crystallisation, as is often the case for the...
