No field work was performed on the three subject licences during the period 2008-2010 inclusive. During 2010, Dominion Gold Operations undertook a desktop evaluation of the possible iron ore potential of the licences. During 2011, the licensee...

An intensely faulted and folded metasedimentary area centred ~50 km east-northeast of Blinman, where extensive hydrothermal alteration is evident in the Neoproterozoic bedrock, and where considerable past small-scale surface mining activity has...

Reports on metallurgical laboratory contract testwork aimed at establishing the flotation process parameters which will optimise the grade of copper concentrate and eventual metal recovery. Composited drill core samples of Burra mine oxidised copper...

As a part of searching for economic deposits of sediment-hosted copper (SHC) mineralisation that might have formed within rocks of the Adelaide Rift Complex Neoproterozoic sedimentation sequence occupying an area located due east of Lyndhurst in the...

Although gold is widespread throughout South Australia, the state has traditionally been, and continues to be, recognised as a minor producer. The 2001-2002 gold production figure of 3.64 t still only represents approximately 1.4% of the total...

EL 3019 located in the Curnamona Province of South Australia covers a portion of the north-south trending buried palaeotopographic high known as the Benagerie Ridge. The north-south elongate licence area occupies part of Quinyambie Station, and is...

This document aims to establish an appropriate geological framework and resource potential baseline for DEM's knowledge about lime sand on Kangaroo Island (KI), by showing and discussing what new lime sand resource areas are available, based on the...

An area centred ~85 km south-southeast of Coober Pedy, at the southern margin of the Lake Phillipson Trough, a long active tectonic feature now occupied by deep sedimentary fill, was taken up by a wholly-owned subsidiary to Monax Mining Ltd primarily...

An area located 34 km east of Port Pirie was applied for by Copper Range to cover historic iron occurrences and some identified magnetic anomalies considered to have similar characteristics to the promising haematite-rich Hicks Quarry target on the...

Following on from a previous data release for the subject licence that covered the period October 1999 to December 2010, this report deals with Perilya's activities performed since then, i.e. surface geochemical sampling and portable XRF spectroscopic...

An area of mainly covered bedrock consisting of two separate sub-blocks bordering the south-eastern Gawler Ranges, which is considered prospective for finding buried hypogene IOCG mineralisation and possible stratiform and metamorphic base metals in a...

An area in the vicinity of Parndana, located on north-central Kangaroo Island approximately 30 km west-southwest of Kingscote, is being explored mainly for possible economic gold and Mississippi Valley type base metal sulphide mineralisation...

A group of adjoining tenements covering ground situated between Ceduna and the Trans Australia Railway are being explored for possible economic buried Tertiary marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands. During the 2007-2008 joint reporting year,...
