Marathon Petroleum's exploration investigations of EL 871 during 1982 were aimed at a detailed follow-up of prospective horizons and geochemical targets located in 1981. Rock chip assaying of selected lithologies, in particular quartz-garnet/gahnite...

Uranium mineralisation was first discovered at the old Shamrock Copper Mine during a systematic search of old mine dumps by the South Australian Department of Mines in 1955. Follow-up investigations located a small high-grade uranium lode (Valley...

Outcropping Wywyana Formation in the Mount McDonnell Valley, which had been shown by past work to be highly anomalous in copper, with attendant gold enrichment, was targetted by 50 m by 20 m grid-based geological, geochemical and ground geophysical...

Previous geophysical interpretation reports of regional geophysical data for the Mount Painter Province have been reviewed, and any available source data has been examined afresh to try to generate additional exploration targets. Unfortunately, many...

Appraisal of a newly discovered large deposit of kaolin, found in the near surface regolith to Archaean basement on two farms situated 7 km south of Mount Hope on southern Eyre Peninsula, has consisted of further air/rotary drilling (35 holes, total...

An area of 100 square km, located 45 km west of Kingscote, was taken to enable follow-up exploration of some anomalous stream sediment geochemical sample values in lead (to a maximum 3200 ppm Pb) previously discovered by Elcor (Australia) Pty Ltd, but...

Ongoing exploration for possible Tertiary sediment-hosted roll front uranium occurrences in an area abutting western Lake Frome has consisted of the drilling of 7 open rotary holes for a total of 1384 m, to test ground midway between previously...

14 rotary percussion holes were drilled to test for extensions of the Klein Point limestone deposit. In the area drilled, Tertiary bryozoan limestone horizons were found to have an average vertical thickness of 28 m; their quality is comparable to...

In order to further test a large Delamerian granite pluton for its potential to host an economic porphyry molybdenum deposit of the Climax, Colorado type (following initial exploratory drilling and IP surveys that had been carried out by the SA...

As a part of continuing exploration for possible economic buried epithermal / hydrothermal / metasomatic and skarn-related base metal and gold deposits undertaken within an area of shallow Lower Proterozoic basement located approximately 30 miles west...

In a search for possible concealed Olympic Dam type base metal deposits within an area located 80 km north-west of Yalata, the licensee investigated several previously identified contiguous magnetic and gravity anomalies by performing ground magnetic...

Drilling of 3 rotary mud holes totalling 392 m on gravity lows in the Mabel Creek area disclosed only thin seams of lignite at about 66 m depth. Because the holes were not geophysically logged, the coal seam thickness could not be ascertained....

2 holes totalling 175 ft were abandoned due to sand.

Results of water bore sampling (7 samples) and drilling of 6 holes totalling 614 metres were disappointing. The drill holes intersected Adelaidean and Cretaceous sediments underlying Tertiary ? - Quaternary fluviatile sediments, without encountering...

Ongoing base metal exploration in the Arkaroola Station region of the north-eastern Flinders Ranges by licensee North Flinders Mines (NFM) has involved reviews of certain existing prospects, which has led to the entry of farminee Shell Minerals...

This report summarises the relevant results of previous copper exploration in the Yudnamutana Hill area by Utah Exploration Co. and Australian Aquitaine Petroleum Pty Ltd, and suggests an ongoing exploration programme for stratiform copper. It also...

This report reviews exploration work done from 1965 through 1993 by North Flinders Mines and four joint venturers on the Northern Flinders Ranges Gunsight Project. The enormous number of reports and interpretive maps generated are listed as...

Drilling of a 196 m deep vertical diamond hole to further investigate the oil shale potential of Permian strata in the axis of the Boorthanna Trough, north of Billa Kalina Homestead, intersected only Lower Permian glacial sediments below 30 m thick...
