Two adjacent licences together covering a large area located to the south of the Barrier Highway between Olary and Manna Hill are being explored for possible large tonnage, mainly buried low grade magnetite deposits that could have formed within the...

The assay results from 15 x 5 kg bulk leach extractable gold (BLEG) stream sediment samples taken from the Braemar Iron Formation outcrop area near Braemar Homestead provided little encouragement for further gold exploration (the highest value...

Stratabound gold in rocks of the Adelaidean metasedimentary sequence was the target of exploration undertaken on Manunda Station, about 45 km south-east of Yunta. No significant gold values were detected in a programme of stream sediment bulk...

9 rock chip, mine dump, tailings, and hand auger alluvium samples were collected from abandoned gold workings. No significant assays were returned, and the area has limited potential for either bedrock or alluvial gold.

Exploration for possible hydrothermal/epithermal gold deposits in the Adelaidean or older basement underlying an area located 50 km east of Burra has included the reprocessing of airborne magnetic survey data (1980 CRA Exploration Pty Ltd, Florieton...

During licence Year 11 (2007-2008), exploration activities on renewed EL 3745 included: • acquiring 1.9 line km of TEM profiles at Dingo prospect; • acquiring 21.4 line km of ground magnetic survey coverage at 1-metre station spacing on three...

A large area of the south-eastern Flinders Ranges piedmont plains lying ~50 km north-west of Manna Hill, and centred on Mount Victor, is being explored for possible economic buried Neoproterozoic stratabound iron ore of low grade but probable high...

During Year 6 of the project, on 28/3/2008, Exco entered into a Heads of Agreement with PMS, whereby the latter would be allowed to acquire a 50% interest in the White Dam Gold Project by sole funding the first A$9.6 million of expenditure on the...

Ongoing exploration for Broken Hill - type mineralisation, across an enlarged licence area extending south and south-west from Cockburn to the edge of the Murraylands, consisted of intensive shallow auger/RAB bedrock drilling of geochemical and...

Includes Beneficiation of fine grained siliceous ironstone.methods other than physical beneficiation for the treatment of siliceous ironstone

The Razorback Ridge iron deposit was assessed by geological mapping, drilling and metallurgical testing. Regional and detailed mapping identified bedded and tillitic iron ore in an Upper Precambrian tillite. Inferred ore reserves are in excess of 120...

Includes an outline of the Adelaidean stratigraphy, and the underlying igneous and metamorphic rock types, and brief, mainly historical review of the economic geology.

The Pualco Range is 45km south-south east of Yunta, South Australia, and contains 3300m of a formation (?Appila Tillite, Precambrian, Adelaidean) characterised by massive tillite with quartzite beds. This forms the base of the Umberatana Group and...

Iron ore exploration undertaken within two small licence subareas centred 60 km south of Yunta, in the vicinity of the outcropping Razorback Ridge banded iron formation of Sturtian age, was directed at assessing the economic potential of the...

A small, north-western part of a licence located immediately south of Olary township has recently been relinquished due to it having perceived minimal iron ore potential. The only work undertaken on the relinquished ground was the acquisition along...

A very small area centred ~70 km south-east of Olary, and lying immediately west of the SA / NSW border and on the northern edge of the Murray Basin, has been explored for possible economic stratabound iron ore occurrences within concealed...

An area centred ~70 km south-southeast of Olary has been explored for buried mineral sands placer deposits that may have formed within the Cainozoic Murray Basin sedimentary cover, as well as for possible economic stratabound iron ore occurrences that...

Two portions of two licence sub-blocks, together totalling 35 square km or ~26.3% of the former area, have been relinquished from a long-running tenement which is centred ~40 km south of Olary. This licence was taken up by Adelaide Exploration to...

A small licence area located on the northern margin of the Murray Basin, approximately 70 km north-east of Burra and about 40 km south of the previously studied Razorback Ridge banded iron formation magnetite deposit, has been explored for possible...
