Proterozoic iron oxide - associated Cu-Au deposits of Olympic Dam type, and possible Yilgarn Craton style Archaean Cu-Ni mineralisation in ultramafic rocks, Pt-Cr mineralisation in layered mafic-ultramafic complexes and Cu-Pb-Zn in acid volcanic...

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...

An area located 80 km east-northeast of Ceduna, which lies entirely within a conservation park and regional reserve, was recognised as one of considerable potential for copper and gold mineralisation associated with shear zones active around the time...

Work done on two licences covering inferred Challenger - type vein gold or Olympic Dam / Prominent Hill style IOCG mineralisation - prospective ground that is situated approximately 70 km to the south and south-east of Coober Pedy has been confined to...

In April 2002 the Botenella Range EL 2843 was sold by Anglogold Australasia to Aquila SA Pty Ltd, who reviewed the available data from the calcrete sampling programme, and developed a new exploration strategy for the project based on detailed gravity...

Exploration Licence 3148 is located on the eastern coast of Eyre Peninsula, north-east of the town of Cowell. The licence was initially granted to Avoca Resources Ltd (Avoca) on 26/11/2003, to allow exploration for possible iron oxide - associated...

An area located approximately 130 km north-west of Port Augusta, on the south-eastern margin of Lake Gairdner, is being explored for possible buried iron oxide - associated copper-gold±uranium (IOCG-U) mineralisation formed within the Mesoproterozoic...

No significant gold or copper values were returned in assays of 13 calcrete samples taken from a 38 square km area located 50 km north-east of Tarcoola, which was relinquished in October 1996. Data read recently by Haines Surveys from 13 new gravity...

Ongoing exploration for precious and base metals in the Glenloth - Tarcoola area has lately involved extending the reconnaissance geological and geochemical survey grid, both to the west and the east of the original Kenella Rocks area of...

Rock chip and stream sediment samples were analysed for U, Th and base metals. In addition, water samples from bores were analysed for U. All assays were low. It was concluded that the Hiltaba Granite has slightly elevated but insignificant levels...

This report provides a summary of high-precision chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (CA-IDTIMS) U-Pb geochronology performed on zircon grains from five samples of Hiltaba Suite granites collected at locations...

The MAITLAND Special 1:250,000 scale geological map covers the greater part of South Australia's Yorke Peninsula. The rocks in the map area comprise deformed Palaeoproterozoic and early Mesoproterozoic basement of the south-eastern Gawler Craton, and...

The Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) was a $3.5M cash and $4.11M in-kind collaborative drill program involving government, researchers, service providers and the minerals industry. The objective of the MSDP was to further the understanding of...

This report presents the results from zircon SHRIMP U–Pb geochronology on seventeen quartzofeldspathic samples from the central-western Gawler Craton. The samples were collected from stratigraphic units mapped as the Archaean to early...

Geochemical and isotopic data from mantle-derived mafic rocks provide important constraints on our understanding of the composition and evolution of the lithosphere through time. Since the lithosphere is sensitive to tectonic processes such as...

The geology of 42 outcrops is briefly described. All are Precambrian in age and each site is located on a 1:100 000 geological map.

The PACE Geochronology program fosters collaboration on projects of geological and metallogenic significance with focus on dating rocks and minerals from samples suggested by companies through a competitive proposal-based selection process. Successful...

This compilation of written and associated oral papers that were presented for the “What lies beneath the western Gawler Craton? 13GA-EG1E Seismic and Magnetotelluric Workshop 2015” is an important step in building our geological understanding of one...

This geotechnical workshop of seminars and core displays, which was held over two days on 5-6 December 2002, aimed to highlight recent collaborative research between PIRSA [MER], Geoscience Australia and the South Australian mineral industry that has...
