266 summary sheets on significant lead-zinc occurrences and anomalous concentrations have been prepared by the Department's Lead-Zinc Taskforce as a data package, in the form of 5 reports, to assist in the search for lead-zinc deposits to provide...

4 main styles of mineralization have been identified and the following areas worthy of further investigation are outlined : . Broken Hill style : associated with banded iron formation (BIF) and schist of the Early Proterozoic Hutchison Group on...

Fifteen rotary holes, 13 with bottom-hole core, tested 3 aeromagnetic anomalies for the presence of Hutchison Group, which is prospective for lead-zinc-silver. Low grade meta-sediments and possible acid volcanics of the Hutchison Group were...

Several commodities are currently mined on Eyre Peninsula including iron ore, dolomite, graphite, lime sand, gypsum, silica, granite, nephrite jade, talc and salt. Historically, copper, lead, silver and gold have also been mined and there are known...

During 1969-72, kaolinised bedrock south of Kimba on northern Eyre Peninsula was investigated by Pechiney and CSR Ltd as a potential source of alumina. Exploration drilling of 102 holes outlined 4 broad areas of kaolinisation at Kelly Tank,...

Geological mapping of an historically worked lamellar talc occurrence in the Tumby Bay area showed that snow white, finely flaky talc is present over a 2 km strike length within two beds of isoclinally folded schistose dolomitic limestone, but is of...

A search for possible economic North/South Alligator Rivers or McArthur River (NT) style epicratonic, unconformity - related sedimentary uranium deposits was conducted across two licences taken up over areas located west and south of Cleve on central...

Exploration of an area located on western Eyre Peninsula between Sheringa and Mount Hope is continuing, with the intent of discovering economic buried base and precious metal deposits of volcanogenic sediment-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) style...

Exploration for possible economic hypogene base metal sulphide deposits associated with poorly exposed iron-rich linear outcrops, overlying faulted Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic basement which is obscured by extensive Cainozoic sedimentary cover rocks...

Two separate blocks together comprising 164 square km or ~10% of the former area of EL 5877 have been relinquished. No work was done on them. The ground had been taken up primarily to explore for possible economic graphite mineralisation which could...

Palaeoproterozoic metasediments of the Hutchison Group, and Lincoln Complex granitoids, were the targets of exploration for gold, base metals and granite dimension stone in an area 40 km south of Kimba. Initial calcrete sampling indicated that...

Geochemical sampling of ferruginous lag, stream sediments and soils targeted possible Thompson Belt type ultramafic-hosted nickel-copper and precious metal mineralisation that may have been intruded within a sequence of Lower Proterozoic Hutchison...

Geochemical sampling of ferruginous lag, stream sediments, BLEG soils, and rock chips, targeted possible Thompson Belt - type nickel-copper and precious metal mineralisation hosted by Lower Proterozoic Hutchison Group metasediments in an area 40 km...

The Kartanya iron ore prospect is located in the central Eyre Peninsula region, approximately 100 km west of Cowell and about the same distance north of Port Lincoln. Haematite mineralisation was discovered in the area by Western Mining Corp. while...

Laterite, BCL drainage and soil geochemical sampling, plus the re-assaying of previous drillhole samples, were carried out in the Port Neill - Tooligie - Port Lincoln area of southern Eyre Peninsula. No significant gold or base metal anomalism was...

Rock chip and calcrete sampling were the main methods of exploration for iron oxide - associated copper-gold mineralisation in an area 60 km west of Port Augusta. Initial rock chip sampling returned no anomalous Au values, but gave best results of...

Archaean, Early and Middle Proterozoic rocks of the north-western Gawler Craton have features which suggest good prospectivity for base metals, precious metals and other commodities. However, outcrop is poor and there has been relatively little...

Regional lag/laterite geochemistry performed over interpreted Palaeoproterozoic basement iron oxide - hosted copper-gold targets 30 km west of Tumby Bay yielded elevated Au, As, Cu and Pb values. Complementary drainage sampling geochemistry results...

Exploration for Mount Isa style, Fe-oxide associated Cu-Au mineralisation has targeted Whyalla Group metasediments and associated Hiltaba Suite granitic intrusions within a 110 km long x 15 km wide, north - south aligned corridor situated west of...
