Archaean, Early and Middle Proterozoic rocks of the north-western Gawler Craton have features which suggest good prospectivity for base metals, precious metals and other commodities. However, outcrop is poor and there has been relatively little...

An area located 45 km west of Whyalla, which is underlain by Palaeoproterozoic and Archaean sediments, metasediments and intrusives, was inferred to have potential to host gold and base metal mineralisation. Interpretation of Landsat images and...

Exploration targeted Olympic Dam style mineralisation associated with Hiltaba Suite intrusives and Gawler Range Volcanics at the southern end of Lake Gairdner, between Mount Ive and Moonaree. Sampling of poorly developed calcrete together with rock...

Gold exploration in the vicinity of the Kirkeek's Treasure mine, located approximately 75 km north of Yunta, comprised mapping, sampling and assaying of mine lode veins, of mineralised outcrops along strike to the east, and of nearby weathered...

Talc has been mined at Mount Fitton in the northern Flinders Ranges on a continuous basis since 1945, for industrial use in the manufacture of cosmetics, ceramics and refractory ware. From 1979 to 1996, under authority of a series of Exploration...

Exploration for Mount Isa style, Fe-oxide associated Cu-Au mineralisation has targeted Whyalla Group metasediments and associated Hiltaba Suite granitic intrusions within a 110 km long x 15 km wide, north - south aligned corridor situated west of...

Calcrete sampling, mapping, and RAB and aircore drilling (211 holes, total 7334 m) were carried out 20 km north of Penong, in an area underlain by Hiltaba Suite granitoids, Archaean gneisses and a major associated shear zone. Although geochemical...

Exploration for Archaean lode-style gold and Hiltaba Suite granite-related hydrothermal Cu-Au in two licence sub-areas near Tarcoola targeted Archaean greenstone lithologies interpreted from aeromagnetic data, Mesoproterozoic intrusive-associated...

Ongoing exploration for economic epigenetic and syngenetic copper occurrences in the vicinity of the Worumba Diapir, east of Hawker, has concentrated on field mapping, soil and channel sampling and shallow percussion drilling (47 holes for 3755+ feet)...

Possible buried Palaeoproterozoic stratiform to stratabound Cloncurry style Cu-Au mineralisation was the principal objective of exploration undertaken over an area located approximately 60 km north-east of Olary. Other conceptual targets included...

Photogeological fracture analysis, Landsat interpretation and aerial geophysical data interpretation techniques have been concurrently applied to the problem of identifying deep-seated linear structures on the Stuart Shelf. Results of a consultant's...

Historical workings at the Glenloth Goldfield were the target for 10 exploratory RC drillholes put down by Minotaur Exploration during May-June 2006 as a PACE Initiative Year 3 project. Their accepted proposal was to drill a series of RC percussion...

Possible accumulations of placer gold and other economic heavy minerals were the targets of exploration that was begun over an area of piedmont outwash alluvial fans formed at the northern extremity of the Flinders Ranges uplifted igneous basement....

Possible potash and halite resources in evaporite - rich sediment sequences of the Tallaringa Trough, lying at depths that might be suitable for solution mining, were the initial targets of exploration in the Wilkinson Lakes area. Following a...

Exploration of a small area within the Nackara Arc region, lying 15-20 km north-west of the Mount Grainger Goldfield, has sought economic Telfer-type stratabound gold deposits hosted within folded domal structures in Adelaidean strata, which have been...

Exploration of the Tarcoola Gold Field by Aberfoyle Resources began in mid-1984, following a partial relinquishment of other ground at licence renewal, when some promising gold assay values were detected from rock and mine dump sampling. Geological...

Cu-Au-U prospects associated with shear zones and Kulgeran age granites have been identified in an area approximately 60 km north-west of Marla. Best assay results were obtained from the Indulkana Shear Zone, where rock chip sampling returned up to...

Approximately 61% of a small licence area located immediately north-west of the Olympic Dam deposit has been relinquished under the terms of the Lake Torrens Project Amalgamated Expenditure Agreement. Only minimal work has been performed on the...

After licence management was returned to Reedy Lagoon for a third time, the licensee studied Cauldron Resources' 1996 aeromagnetic data and identified an additional three magnetic anomalies (EC23, 26 and 27) possessing possible kimberlite traits....

An area located close to the SA-NSW State border, and centred ~55 km west-southwest of Broken Hill, covers part of the south-eastern corner of the Palaeoproterozoic Olary Domain of the Curnamona Province and the western portion of Broken Hill Domain,...
