Four scattered Iluka heavy mineral sands (HM) exploration licences located on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin north of Ceduna have now been fully surrendered. On the basis of exploration conducted on them until late in 2017, this work being...

An area centred ~200 km north of Cook has been explored for possible buried heavy mineral sands (HM) marine placer accumulations that may have formed along a topographic high that is geographically situated immediately north of the Ooldea Range, and...

The Cenozoic Eucla Basin is located on the southern margin of the Australian continent, with a present-day basin onshore edge which extends for over 2,000 km from Western Australia into South Australia. The basin’s sediment fill comprises a thin...

An attenuated licence area extending for 40-75 km north to north-east of Penong was taken up to explore part of the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin for possible economic buried Tertiary detrital heavy mineral (HM) marine sand placer deposits. Over...

This partly PACE-funded drilling project aimed to discover a heavy mineral sand deposit along the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin in the EL 3363 Watraba project area, located 40 kilometres north to north-west of Ceduna. Drilling tested an...

A small licence area located 170 km north-northwest of Fowlers Bay in far western South Australia is being explored for possible economic Tertiary heavy mineral sands (HMS) deposits, targeting accumulations of rutile, zircon or ilmenite that may have...

A small licence area located 30 km north of Fowlers Bay in far western South Australia is being explored for possible economic Tertiary mineral sands deposits, targeting accumulations of rutile, zircon or ilmenite that may have formed as marginal...

Between 2008 and 2013, Iluka drilled a total of 45 vertical exploratory aircore holes on EL 3330/4546 for a total penetration of 1324.9 m, as part of reconnaissance drilling along traverses spaced 1 km apart with holes put in at 50 m intervals....

70% of the original area of the subject licence, which is located north of the Trans Australian Railway and approximately 200 km north-west of the town of Ceduna and 75 km east of the Maralinga Village, has been relinquished due to it being regarded...

During the 2011-2012 joint reporting year, Iluka undertook drilling on ELs 3638, 3742 and 4544 with three aims: to extend the Typhoon HM deposit resource, to follow-up results of brownfields drilling at the Sonoran prospect, and to do further infill...

Two adjoining areas located on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin, and centred ~60 km north-east of Fowlers Bay, are being explored for possible buried economic occurrences of zircon-rich heavy mineral sands (HMS) that may have been formed along...

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,...

Most of a sizeable licence area located on SA's Far West Coast, which formerly extended for 10 to 90 km inland from the vicinity of Bookabie, has now been partially relinquished owing to its perceived diminished prospectivity for Tertiary marine...

Two adjoining areas located north of Koonibba were taken up to explore this part of the south-eastern Eucla Basin for possible buried economic marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands (HM), because they were believed to contain shallow or exposed...

309.6 square km or ~18.77% of the pre-existing area of EL 5564 Poondinga was partially relinquished on 19/2/2019 because in the licensee's view this south-eastern portion of the licence are does not appear to exhibit the geological features required...

No field work was done during the first year of tenure. A review of previous drillhole data for the subject area has indicated that crystalline basement occurs at an average depth of 10 m. The entire area is dominated by a 40 km former promontory,...
