Following a review of previous company exploration and image interpretation of SAEI and BMR aeromagnetic data, a 3166 line km airborne magnetic/radiometric survey, with follow-up ground magnetics and air core drilling (282 holes, 4559 m), was carried...

In a search for possible buried Palaeoproterozoic unconformity - related sedimentary uranium deposits over an area east of the Darke Range, an ongoing programme of exploratory work has included geological mapping at 1:25,000 scale, analysis of 205...

An area centred on the hamlet of Green Patch, located ~10 km north-west of Port Lincoln, was taken up to appraise the iron ore potential of known near surface BIF magnetite mineralisation occurring at the Greenpatch (sic) prospect that had been...

Abstract continued : During January-February 1993, five traverses spaced 800 m apart of RAB drillholes put in 50 m apart (57 vertical holes for a total penetration of 2688 m) were completed at Death Adder prospect by Aberfoyle Resources to appraise...

During the Northern Eyre Peninsula Project (NEPP) 2013-2014 reporting year, exploration field work took place on two of the six project tenements. On EL 4884 Minbrie, a single 151 m deep vertical RC drillhole, BURC092, was completed in August 2013,...

Exploration Licence 2887 Tumby Bay was taken out to cover prospective magnetite rich Banded Iron Formations (BIF) close to the eastern coast of the Eyre Peninsula. Potential was seen for a magnetite concentrate export operation taking advantage of...

Investigator Resources Limited (IVR) is continuing to explore its contiguous tenement package in the Southern Gawler Ranges for economic precious and base metals, following its discovery of the Paris silver deposit in 2011. A prospective region called...

Aquila Resources took up ownership of the much previously-explored ground comprising the Wilcherry Hill Project with the intent of exploring for the first time the iron oxide - associated copper-gold & uranium (IOCG-U) mineralisation potential of...

The YARDEA 1:250,000 scale regional geological map area straddles the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges on northern Eyre Peninsula. The only major township within the area is Minnipa, with Kimba and Wudinna both located immediately south of the...

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...

An area located in the Cowell Hills is being explored for possible economic buried iron ore deposits. The desired commodity is DSO (Direct Shipping Ore) haematite mineralisation similar to that of the Middleback Range iron deposits, where pods of...

The area of ELs 1841/2551 (formerly EL 1568), located approximately 70 km north-west of Kimba on the northern Eyre Peninsula, was considered to be prospective for Olympic Dam type Cu-Au and Menninnie Dam style Pb-Zn mineralisation. Earlier work by...

[incomplete : to be continued when time permits] - The Wilcherry Hill licence area was originally taken up in September 1980 by the Shell Company as EL 719, forming part of a larger regional mineral exploration tenement package on northern and...

No new work was carried out on the subject Stony Hill licence area during its past year. The South Australian Iron Ore Group Pty Ltd (SAIOG) has held this tenement (successively under ELs 3287/4451/5617) since 2/12/2004, but has now surrendered it in...

During the life of the subject licence, the focus of exploration was to determine the area's potential for DSO haematite iron ore, with a secondary consideration being magnetite and haematite BIF. After conducting geophysical surveys and exploratory...

The Telephone Dam lead-zinc-silver prospect is located in the north-eastern part of the now renewed Wilcherry Hill EL 4162. During the 1980s and 1990s, diamond, RC and RAB drilling done on this prospect by Aberfoyle Resources had identified a...

Two contiguous areas located south of the Gawler Ranges, between Buckleboo and Franklin Harbour, were taken up primarily to explore the Early Proterozoic metasedimentary sequence for possible Broken Hill type economic stratiform / hydrothermal base...

The LINCOLN 1:250,000 scale regional geological map area covers southern Eyre Peninsula and includes numerous islands lying off its eastern, southern and western coasts. The region encompasses a complex geological history and contains a variety of...
