Exploration for possible buried roll-front or sandstone type sedimentary uranium deposits was carried out over a broad area lying northeast of Lake Frome by a South African - French joint venture. A large reconnaissance open hole rotary drilling and...

A palaeochannel system exists incised into Proterozoic metamorphic and igneous rocks in a NS direction through the eastern portion of EL 121, but no anomalous radioactivity is present.

Orientation geochemical sampling, and 1:25,000 scale geological mapping that included long sectional mapping of four railway cutting bedrock exposures in the Eudunda area, revealed pervasive low grade stratiform copper mineralisation in Sturtian...

Five open rotary holes totalling 614.7 m were drilled and geophysically logged to test a possible, resistivity - interpreted southern extension of the Lower Tertiary Yarramba Palaeochannel. The existence of this additional channel was confirmed, but...

An area located ~140 km north-northeast of Olary has been explored for possible economic buried sedimentary uranium mineralisation hosted by Tertiary palaeochannel sands of the Callabonna Sub-basin. Previous exploration activities had partly defined...

Three adjoining licence areas that were centred approximately 480 km north-west of Ceduna together occupied the northern section of the Ooldea Range over a stepped NW-SE trending outline having an average width of 25 km and a combined total length of...

Iluka Resources is exploring for possible economic heavy mineral (HM) deposits that may have formed in the northern Murray Basin, with a strategy of targeting any mineralised Loxton-Parilla Sand formation sediments deposited during the Pliocene marine...

EL 2870 Ceduna covers 1390 square km located adjacent to the coast near Ceduna on north-western Eyre Peninsula. Minotaur believed that the area, which lies relatively close to the continental Fowler Suture Zone, was prospective for Proterozoic...

A partial surrender of 64 square km in 2 blocks representing 13% of the total tenement was undertaken at the renewal of the lease. During licence Year 21 (to 23/11/2014), exploration attention returned to the Red Range prospect in the south of the...

Ongoing uranium exploration work in an area immediately south of Lake Frome has comprised the evaluation of pervasive uranium mineralisation encountered within the Billeroo Palaeochannel over several km of its length, a short distance north of the...

Rotary drilling of 23 open holes (total 4 817 m) in a search for Tertiary sedimentary uranium occurrences north-west of Lake Frome intersected an aureole of radioactivity greater than ten to fifteen times background level in eight of the holes.

A series of lithostratigraphic interpretations of outcrop and drillhole sections (for SADME and Comalco holes) have been drawn up to assist in the production of a satisfactory palaeogeographic and stratigraphic model of the Officer Basin. 3...

An area of considerable biological, geological and cultural interest, including its wilderness character; geological features such as fossils, structures, stratigraphy, and mineralogy; the geomorphic story, particularly of the Pleistocene and Recent...

The first draft of correlation chart for the Australian Jurassic is presented for comment. It includes both sedimentary and igneous rocks and covers onshore and offshore areas and Papua New Guinea to 8 degrees S. The chart overlaps with surrounding...

Ongoing exploration for possible buried Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, conducted over an area of the Stuart Shelf located 15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, has comprised RC drilling (20 holes, aggregate penetration 1768 m) and diamond...

In a search for postulated Tertiary heavy mineral sands marine placer deposits that may have been formed outside of the presently known north-eastern extent of such age sedimentary basins (i.e. along a proto Eucla Basin coastline existing within the...

Exploration for trona and base metals was centred on the Marla region. Work included regional gravity and magnetic studies, acquisition of airborne magnetic and multi-channel radiometric data, with follow-up ground magnetic and gravity surveys,...

Exploration of an onshore area located immediately north of Murat Bay aimed to discover beach or shallow marine placer concentrations of zircon-rich heavy mineral sands, possibly formed within significant thicknesses of prospective Upper Tertiary...
