During the current licence term Aquitaine conducted ongoing evaluation of its recent placer scheelite mineral discovery near Keyneton, south-east of the Barossa Ranges. Additional field reconnaissance, rock chip sampling and petrological study, much...

A 900 line km detailed aeromagnetic survey was carried out over the northern extremity of Spencer Gulf, in a search for possible Olympic Dam style mineralisation associated with a significant and complex magnetic high anomaly that is located almost...

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...

Continuing exploration for possible buried economic Tertiary sediment-hosted uranium deposits in the vicinity of Ifould Lake consisted of ground truthing of aerial radiometric anomalies by scintillometer surveys and chemical analysis of auger...

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...

As part of a regional search for economic small-scale deposits of rare earth metals in the Mount Painter district, geochemical prospecting revealed several atypically high background niobium values, in stream sediments derived from watercourses known...

An integrated programme for diamonds combining heavy mineral and geochemical sampling, photogeology, and some geophysics has shown that EL 827's prospectivity for diamonds is extremely low. Heavy mineral sampling was negative, geochemical results...

During June-July 1972, 35 shallow vertical rotary percussion drillholes for a total penetration of 877 m were completed within the Ediacara Fault Zone to test for economic base metal mineralisation, the majority of the holes being sited at locations...

TARGET: Sedimentary uranium associated with high order radiometric anomalies over lakes on the edge of the sand dune country, east of the Nullarbor Plain. EXPLORATION: Closely spaced (300-500 m), low level (65 m altitude) aerial scintillometer...

Australian rock phosphate production has never been significant, and over the last two years steps have been taken to remedy the situation. This has and will involve time-consuming geological review work, leading to reconnaissance mapping, detailed...

Diamond drill-hole NFK1 was drilled to a total depth of 289.56 metres at the Old Noll prospect in November - December 1972, with the aim of intersecting the buried source of mineralization that has given rise to the boxwork structures outcropping...

Surface copper carbonate mineralization occurring along a presumed shear zone was initially discovered some 4 miles southwest of the Parabarana Cu prospect by North Flinders Mines in late 1971, during a programme of detailed geochemical stream...

TRONA EXPLORATION: Of the 9 rotary/diamond holes drilled, only the first, Meramangye 1, intersected a unit equivalent to the Observatory Hill Beds, which was the target horizon for trona. Drillholes Manya nos 2-6 and Marla 7 intersected Cambrian red...
