Two additional phases of the drilling program to assess the groundwater resources in the Clare Valley were undertaken during March 1998 at Wendouree (Phase III), and during July 2000 at Wendouree and Watervale Oval (Phase IV). The Phase III program...

Exploration for possible stratiform or hydrothermal, fault-associated copper deposits in the area of basal Adelaidean metasediments lying to the north of known such mineralisation at the abandoned historic Ukaparinga mine, immediately north of...

Exploration was aimed at delineating favourable lithologies within Eromanga Basin sediments for hosting sedimentary uranium, which may have leached from the crystalline rocks of the Musgrave Ranges located to the west of the licence area. As part of...

Marathon Petroleum's exploration investigations of EL 871 during 1982 were aimed at a detailed follow-up of prospective horizons and geochemical targets located in 1981. Rock chip assaying of selected lithologies, in particular quartz-garnet/gahnite...

Outcropping Wywyana Formation in the Mount McDonnell Valley, which had been shown by past work to be highly anomalous in copper, with attendant gold enrichment, was targetted by 50 m by 20 m grid-based geological, geochemical and ground geophysical...

An area of 100 square km, located 45 km west of Kingscote, was taken to enable follow-up exploration of some anomalous stream sediment geochemical sample values in lead (to a maximum 3200 ppm Pb) previously discovered by Elcor (Australia) Pty Ltd, but...

As a part of continuing exploration for possible economic buried epithermal / hydrothermal / metasomatic and skarn-related base metal and gold deposits undertaken within an area of shallow Lower Proterozoic basement located approximately 30 miles west...

Detailed stream sediment, loam and barrage sampling carried out over the main channel and various tributaries of the Manunda Creek drainage system confirmed the presence of widespread kimberlitic indicator minerals, plus a 31 microdiamonds. 5 small...

Ongoing base metal exploration in the Arkaroola Station region of the north-eastern Flinders Ranges by licensee North Flinders Mines (NFM) has involved reviews of certain existing prospects, which has led to the entry of farminee Shell Minerals...

This report summarises the relevant results of previous copper exploration in the Yudnamutana Hill area by Utah Exploration Co. and Australian Aquitaine Petroleum Pty Ltd, and suggests an ongoing exploration programme for stratiform copper. It also...

As part of a regional diamond and kimberlite exploration programme, 50 drainage and loam samples were collected for heavy mineral analysis from within the two areas being relinquished, which lie respectively 50 km NW and 40 km NE of Kingoonya. No...

In a search for possible Proterozoic - Cainozoic unconformity - related, concealed sedimentary uranium deposits in an area of the Eucla Basin located 60 km north of Fowlers Bay, 42 rotary mud drillholes totalling 1432.4 m were put down on 5 traverses...

Detailed follow-up to earlier regional stream sediment sampling, which had disclosed several robust kimberlitic garnet indicator anomalies in relatively featureless terrain, was successful in discovering three outcropping thin kimberlite sills in the...

A small area located 15 km north-east of Beltana was explored for possible economic stratabound or epigenetic/hydrothermal base metal deposits associated with Adelaidean and Cambrian calcareous/dolomitic strata and Willouran diapiric structures. Work...

Exploration of an area located approximately 10 miles north of Manna Hill, seeking possible economic Zambian Copperbelt style stratabound copper deposits, has consisted only of an orientation geochemical survey followed by field inspection of...

No kimberlitic indicator minerals or diamonds were detected in heavy mineral samples collected from the Jumbuck area, about 130 km south-west of Coober Pedy.

Reconnaissance and detailed bulk loam sampling undertaken to look for diamonds or kimberlite indicator minerals in the vicinity of the Pualco Anticline, plus spectrographic analyses of the derived heavy mineral concentrates for gold and base metals...

Following an airborne magnetic/radiometric survey, two rotary percussion holes totalling 819 m were drilled on negative magnetic anomalies to reach pre-Mesozoic basement (gabbro and meta-sandstone) in the Koonalda area of the Nullarbor Plain. No...

Features interpreted from detailed low-level infill airborne coverage to a 1995 SAEI aeromagnetic survey, flown over a large area of disturbed, mainly Adelaidean sedimentary diapiric terrain located between Hawker and the south-eastern shore of Lake...

A process of rationalisation of several prior-held CRAE tenements covering Cambrian trough sediments which partly outcrop in the south-eastern Mount Lofty Ranges has led to limited ongoing exploration by that company. Ground-based follow-up of all...
