North Ltd's Barton Project commenced in 1990 across a number of licences progressively taken out over the western Gawler Craton, which eventually came to include EL 1865. Initial exploration for heavy mineral sand in the Barton-Ooldea area, 100-200...

Ongoing exploration for Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, over an area centred ~15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, during this period comprised 3D geophysical modelling of possible source geometries for, and RC drilling (10 holes, total...

An area of approximately 1791 square km located to the north and north-west of the Leigh Creek Coalfield was taken out under licence by ETSA for one year, to enable the conduct of a joint ETSA/SADME coal exploration programme over alluvium-covered...

The recently completed drilling of 189 open rotary holes (total penetration 22,427 m), plus the redrilling and geophysical re-logging by joint venturer Minad-Teton of 19 previously completed Carpentaria Exploration Co. uranium exploration holes (for a...

Detailed base and precious metals exploration undertaken by Utah Development Company in the area of the Worumba Anticline has targeted possible stratiform Zambian Copperbelt - type deposits. Exploratory work has included 72 geochemical vertical...

The target in the Kanmantoo mine area was Cambrian stratabound lead-zinc mineralisation known to be associated with pyritic units of the Brukunga Formation, and copper associated with andalusite-staurolite-garnet-chlorite-biotite schists in the same...

Exploration disclosed widespread uranium mineralisation, with drill-indicated reserves of 6 million tonnes, at an average grade of 0.8 kg / tonne U3O8, existing in 5 major deposits. About 625 drill holes totalling 53,000 m tested these major deposits...

Continuing geological, geochemical, petrographic and ground magnetic work was done by AAP along 26 sampling profiles to try to unravel possible stratigraphic and tectonic controls on known base metal mineralisation at the Royal Keyneton and Hope mine...

Exploration for possible Broken Hill type mineralisation formed within the Bimba Formation, in an area located 70 kilometres north-west of Olary, has comprised the acquisition of ground magnetic, EM, IP and Sirotem surveys, plus the drilling of 43 RC...

Exploration was undertaken by BHP along the western margin of the Murray Basin, between Lake Alexandrina and Cambrai township, for possible economic heavy mineral sands and for exhalative sedex-style volcanogenic/stratabound base metal deposits, both...

Ongoing exploration for possible economic sandstone-type uranium deposits formed in Tertiary palaeochannels in the Yarramba area, 50 km north-west of Cockburn, has included further open hole rotary drilling and downhole geophysical logging (176 holes...

WMC's Stuart Shelf exploration activities from 1975 to 1985 have sought mainly Olympic Dam style mineralisation (copper - uranium - precious metals in haematitic breccia host rocks), with lesser emphasis directed at: possible distal analogues of the...

Exploration for Olympic Dam-style mineralisation, undertaken over an area centred ~15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead on the Stuart Shelf, which includes WMC's formerly partly tested Emmie Bluff prospect, has comprised the acquisition of ground...

A sequence of exploration programs in the Mount Painter Province, undertaken on Special Mining Leases since 1965, have been previously released. Exploration for base metals, gold, uranium and REE since 1974, in an area extending 50 km southwest from...

Exploration for possible large, potentially open cut - mineable disseminated quartz vein - type syngenetic gold and base metal deposits within a licence area located near Outalpa, 150 km south-west of Broken Hill, has comprised geological mapping,...

Exploration for possible buried diapir or diatreme - associated diamonds, copper and gold, within an intensively faulted, folded and eroded area of the northern Flinders Ranges situated 35 km east and south-east of Lyndhurst, comprised gravel, stream...

Diamond exploration undertaken over a much dissected 460 square km area of the south-central Flinders Ranges between Stirling North and Mount Arden comprised aeromagnetic interpretation and heavy mineral processing of a regional suite of 170+ stream...

As part of continued exploration over a 48% reduced licence area from prior EL 1416 (see Env 8585 for relinquishment report), 36 exploratory inclined RC drillholes (total penetration 3404 m) evaluated nine high-priority aeromagnetic targets, with some...

A multi-commodity mineral exploration programme carried out over an area between Mannum and Strathalbyn, seeking buried targets concealed in Tertiary sediments and basement rocks, comprised aerial magnetic, radiometric and EM surveys; groundwater,...

As part of continuing exploration along the eastern Mount Lofty Ranges for economic stratabound base metal occurrences hosted within Kanmantoo Group metasediments, CRAE undertook regional soil and rock chip sampling to confirm the results of 1960s...
