Exploration for possible economic vein-style primary uranium deposits hosted within basement rocks in a licence area located 55 km west-northwest of Port Lincoln has consisted of detailed (1:10,000 scale) geological mapping over a 650 square km area,...

Nine airborne radiometric anomalies associated with poorly exposed basement rocks bordering small lakes in a Tertiary palaeodrainage feature emanating from the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges outcrop were investigated for their basement-hosted...

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...

The Warrow Quartzite of Lower Proterozoic age is quarried periodically for railway ballast, 3 kilometres west of Darke Peak township, Eyre Peninsula. The quartzite deposit has been investigated by mapping and laboratory testing of samples. Los Angeles...

The Warrow Quartzite of Lower Proterozoic age is quarried periodically for railway ballast, 16 kilometres east – northeast of Tooligie Siding, Eyre Peninsula. The quartzite has been investigated by mapping and laboratory testing of samples. Los...

A preliminary regional tectonic model and a broad stratigraphic scheme for the basement and cover rocks on the newly defined Gawler Craton are briefly summarised and are depicted on accompanying maps within the text, being conclusions drawn by SADM...

The possible areal extent and potential in-ground resources of secondary kaolin developed from deep lateritic weathering of Early Proterozoic basement rocks on central-eastern Eyre Peninsula were investigated by the licensee, with a view to obtaining...

An area centred about 27 km north-west of Kimba was selected mainly to explore the basement for Menninnie Dam style base metal mineralisation, with the block's NW portion also being considered prospective for epithermal precious metal deposits of...

As part of a multi-commodity exploration programme being conducted in an area centred 15 km north of Kimba, an appraisal of the available geophysical data revealed no significant anomalies in the now relinquished portions of the licence. No other new...

Trafford Resources Ltd ('Trafford'), the owner since March 2007 of the seven exploration licences comprising the Wilcherry Hill Project, has as its primary focus exploration of these tenements for economic precious and base metal deposits. The...

The Nankivel Dam prospect, located in north-western Eyre Peninsula, contains alunite, pyrophyllite, dickite, topaz and diaspore alteration of its rocks that is thought to be consistent with mineral assemblages found in advanced-argillic alteration...

Appraisal of the southern Middleback Range to Cowell area for possible buried diamondiferous kimberlites and for economic extensions to stratiform iron ore deposits was undertaken. A limited drainage bulk sampling programme was unsuccessful in...

As part of the current mapping programme aiming to produce a second edition of the PORT AUGUSTA 1:250k geological map sheet, 8 rock samples from outcrops located on this map sheet area and on the adjoining WHYALLA 1:250k map sheet area were...

Regional calcrete, lag, rockchip and bulk cyanide leach drainage geochemistry were carried out over an area immediately to the east of Cleve. Gold in calcrete was recorded in two areas, which also returned elevated gold values in chip samples of vein...

Four styles of mineralisation formed the basis for exploration in the Paney-Buckleboo area, namely, stratiform sedex (Broken Hill style), shear-hosted epigenetic gold and base metals (Tunkillia style), skarn-related gold and base metals (Menninnie Dam...

Calcrete and rock chip sampling, the latter including outcrop follow-up of weakly anomalous Cu and As found in re-assayed drillcore, was carried out in the hinterland to Port Neill, 80 km north-east of Port Lincoln. Calcrete Au results peaked at only...

Exploration for gold and base metals in an area of possibly hydrothermally altered Hiltaba Suite basement 20 km north-east of Kimba comprised regional calcrete sampling at 500 m centres, followed by infill sampling at 100 m and 200 m centres over two...

An area centred 60 km north-west of Cowell was considered prospective for iron mineralisation within banded iron formations of the Middleback Subgroup, and for skarn - type gold and base metals associated with Hutchison Group metasediments. Following...

A mining consultant was engaged by mineral claim option holder Murumba Minerals to assess the commercial potential of a rare (for Australia) grouping of lens style nephrite deposits located about 20 km north of Cowell, which had only been mined on a...

Exploration for Broken Hill / Menninnie Dam type Pb-Zn, and later for iron oxide - associated Cu-Au, that was undertaken over an area located north of Kimba within and adjacent to the Pinkawillinie Conservation Park, comprised the acquisition during...
