Mineral exploration recently undertaken within the now surrendered subject licence in the Streaky Bay district has successively addressed the potential for finding Prominent Hill - style Proterozoic IOCG deposits and Tertiary palaeochannel - hosted...

During mineral exploration of an area located approximately 30 km west of Olympic Dam, an initial search for possible diamondiferous kimberlites entailed modern era reprocessing and image analysis of available post-1990 regional aeromagnetic data, to...

A multi-licence area located between 65 km and 170 km south-east of Coober Pedy was taken up to explore for possible economic precious and base metal deposits that might lie concealed within shallow Proterozoic basement. Exploration activity during...

The Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic Curnamona Province is largely overlain by sedimentary basins which contain any or combinations of Neoproterozoic, Cambrian, Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments. These cover sequence sediments can introduce considerable...

With the dawning of renewed interest in one of South Australia’s historic gold provinces, driven by the newly acquired data from the Department’s highly successful Gawler Craton Airborne Survey (GCAS), the Geological Survey of South Australia has...

This inaugural regolith map of the southern Gawler Ranges margin provides a valuable regional overview of the main regolith types and their associated landforms, plus a general outline of the major areas of bedrock or regolith-dominated terrain, as...

Following the first public announcement on 18/11/1976 by Western Mining Corp. of its giant Olympic Dam copper, gold and uranium discovery on Roxby Downs Station, Newmont Pty Ltd began a detailed assessment of the Stuart Shelf region of South...

Exploration for possible Mississippi Valley - type stratabound base metal deposits hosted by Early Palaeozoic limestones in the Rapid Bay district has consisted only of a regional stream sediment survey (204 samples). Numerous low order base metal...

Ongoing base metal exploration in the Cleve district of eastern Eyre Peninsula has comprised detailed regional mapping, extensive geochemical and petrological sampling, and percussion drilling of selected geochemical anomalies. Assay results indicate...

The 4WD vehicle journey of ~22 km length from Arkaroola Village to Sillers Lookout, along the world famous Ridgetop Track, presents the opportunity to view some amazing landscapes and associated geological features that the Arkaroola Pastoral Station...

A licence area centred about 100 km north-east of Streaky Bay township, on the south-western perimeter of the Gawler Ranges, was taken up to explore for possible economic buried IOCG mineralisation or Tunkillia stye fracture controlled lode gold...

A wide basinal area located east of Marree and bordering the northern Willouran Ranges is being explored afresh for sedimentary uranium occurrences in response to market conditions and the demonstrated prospectivity of the local cover rocks, which...

Ground encompassing the Palaeoproterozoic basement Weekeroo Inlier of the Olary district, which includes the historic Walparuta copper-gold mine located approximately 20 km north of Manna Hill township, was taken out to search for possible economic...

An area located ~60 km north-west of Andamooka was taken up to explore the IOCG - related Cu-Au-U-REE potential of buried but poorly known Proterozoic basement rocks that lie on the western side of a prominent gravity/magnetic complex of anomalies,...

As a part of continuing exploration for possible economic buried sedimentary redox style uranium deposits that may have formed in palaeochannel sediments and floodplain sandstone units of the Tertiary Clayton Basin, an 8 km long airborne radiometric...

Heavy minerals in the Pliocene Loxton - Parilla Sands marginal marine sequence of the western Murray Basin were the targets of exploration in an area 130 km north of Renmark. During March 1998, a trial 571 line km low-level aeromagnetic survey was...

EL 3961 lying 10 km north-west of Quorn forms part of the Hawker Project tenement package within the Adelaide Fold Belt that is being explored for sediment-hosted copper deposits. Licensee Copper Range has been looking for bleached, altered sandstone...

Buried mafic igneous intrusive complexes, occurring in shallowly subcropping Proterozoic basement in onshore areas totalling 1692 square km near Streaky Bay, were formerly investigated by Minex (SA) Pty Ltd and later by Mithril Resources Ltd for their...

Two adjoining areas located west-northwest of Leigh Creek are being explored as part of a regional search for possible economic Beltana-style zinc silicate hydrothermal replacement mineralisation hosted by brecciated Cambrian or Neoproterozoic bedrock...
