A portion of the central Flinders Ranges covering the Beltana Diapir and its surrounds has been taken up mainly to explore for possible economic buried hydrothermal replacement type or epigenetic stratabound base metal mineralisation, with magnesite...

TARGET: Possible Tertiary marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands (ilmenite, rutile, zircon) on the south-eastern margin of the Eucla Basin in the Nunjikompita - Hiltaba area, 100 km east of Ceduna. EXPLORATION: A consultants' photogeological...

Uranium Equities Ltd, with the assistance of PACE Initiative Year 5 drilling project partial subsidy funds, have completed a greenfields exploration drilling programme to look for possible buried sedimentary uranium mineralisation on the western edge...

Palaeoclimate is discussed, particularly in the central and southern parts of the continent, based on an overview of wide range of data. The oceanic record has provided the means for obtaining a refined chronological framework in which to place events...

During 2005, consultant geomorphologist Richard Russell was contracted by FDL to undertake a study of existing 'unsourced’ kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) anomalies that occur in the northern part of the Springfield Project area. The initial aim of...

During licence Year 11, on renewed EL 3111 (to 27/7/2004), Perilya's exploration was focussed on expanding the mineralised intersections found near Reliance in the previous year, and on investigating the open-at-depth mineralised palaeo-karstic...
