The MARREE mapsheet area includes the south-western portion of the Strzelecki Desert plus parts of the Tirari Desert, north-western Flinders Ranges and north-eastern Willouran Ranges, between latitudes 29 to 30 degrees S and longitudes 138 to 139...

Examination of an historically worked occurrence of stratiform base metal mineralisation near Balcanoona in the central Flinders Ranges, 50 miles east of Copley, has involved intensive geochemical sampling of abandoned mine adits, old dumps,...

Continuing prospect exploration work at the Beltana zinc orebody discovery has consisted of detailed geological mapping at 1:4 800 scale, rock chip sampling of outcropping Adelaidean and Cambrian sediments, field investigation of microgravity...

Stream sediment sampling, conducted by Kennecott as follow-up to a 1966 regional surface geochemical reconnaissance programme looking for stratabound Mississippi Valley - type base metal deposits in the central Flinders Ranges, has located a small...

This report summarises, in categoric fashion, all of the various exploratory and mine development activities carried out over the past four years on the broader Puttapa area exploration licence (as renewed), and within the mineral claims taken out...

Geological mapping and the interpretation of drillhole data from the vicinity of the recently defined Southern orebody extension at Beltana (including 4 new diamond holes totalling 1600 feet) has enabled the licensee to formulate likely parameters of...

Zinc silicate (willemite) mineralisation occurs in a host rock of Lower Cambrian Ajax Limestone, which represents part of a sequence of Proterozoic to Middle Cambrian sediments that rests unconformably on folded lower Adelaidean Willouran siltstones...

Exploration for Beltana - type stratabound, hydrothermal related base metal deposits in an area situated south-west of Copley consisted of regional, ground and helicopter-assisted geological mapping at 1:4800 scale, photointerpretation of structural...

Ongoing base metal exploration to look for further analogues to the Beltana willemite discovery, carried out over an area located east of the Puttapa Rail Siding, has consisted of semi-detailed 1:4800 scale geological mapping and geochemical stream...

Continuing exploration of the Aroona Valley and its vicinity for possible 'blind' occurrences of the zinc silicate, willemite, within host Lower Cambrian strata, has consisted of 1:4800 scale geological mapping of the south-western limb of the Aroona...

Report briefly describes the geology, structural features and mineralisation present in both the diapir core and its rim rocks. Some observations about the extent and the origin of mineralisation are made, but the overall assessment is ongoing.

The reported presence of high geochemical zinc values in the Parachilna Formation rocks exposed there prompted Kennecott Explorations to include the Reaphook Hill outlier of Lower Cambrian sediments into its regional investigation of the stratiform...

An area located approximately 12 miles north of Quorn was re-issued to Kennecott over a reduced licence acreage, to permit further investigation of Cambrian Parachilna Formation and Wilkawillina Limestone strata which had shown anomalous copper, lead...

An area located approximately 57 km east of Beltana was taken up to explore for possible economic hydrothermal/stratabound, replacement-type base and precious metal deposits in Neoproterozoic Callanna Group diapiric breccias and rafted dolomitic...

Mapping at 1 inch:100 feet scale and chip sampling of oxidised copper mineralisation in joints and shears in quartzite revealed an area of very low grade mineralisation 2400 feet in length in which a small proportion of richer pockets average 0.54% Cu.

As part of a regional stratiform base metals exploration programme, the conduct of a helicopter-assisted stream sediment geochemical sampling survey (506 samples assayed) did not reveal any anomalies of interest.

Exploration undertaken in an area of practically no outcrop that is situated north and north-west of the Ediacara Range, on the eastern side of Lake Torrens, has aimed primarily at investigating the mineral potential of a large, low amplitude...

The purpose of this interpretation is to provide an initial framework for the basement to the Murray Basin upon which to plan the Geological Survey of South Australia’s MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative drilling project targeting the Delamerian...
