Concerted exploration for possible stratiform Mount Gunson type or epithermal Olympic Dam type base metal deposits, on the south-eastern edge of the Stuart Shelf near Port Pirie, was begun by North Broken Hill Ltd in response to the public release by...

In the latter stages of its search for possible economic base and precious metal deposits in the Bute area, North Broken Hill targeted the concealed pre-Adelaidean basement rocks for Mount Gunson or ?Olympic Dam type hydrothermal ores, and for Mount...

The South Australian Neoproterozoic sediment-hosted copper occurrence map displays a distinct category of the State’s copper occurrences. 662 occurrences have been identified as being hosted in Neoproterozic sediments and then were further classified...

The potential for economic stratiform copper deposits hosted within the clastic lower inter-glacial sequence of the Umberatana Group Neoproterozoic sedimentary succession was explored over an area situated immediately east and south-east of Leigh...

Drilled 12 holes aggregating 2240 feet.

It was concluded from mapping, sampling and a review of previous work that areas in the vicinity of the Prince Alfred Mine, 30 km east of Cradock, were of low potential for significant copper mineralisation within the Tapley Hill Formation.

Soil geochemical sampling was carried out in the vicinity of the Bremer and Kapunda Faults, 2.5-3.5 km north-east and 1-2 km south-east respectively of the old Kapunda mine area. Elevated Pb, Zn, Cu and Au values were obtained, but the JV's need to...

Exploration for Olympic Dam type Cu-Au in the Myall Creek area, located 15-50 km north of Whyalla, comprised surface geological mapping and orientation calcrete geochemical sampling, together with the re-logging, petrographic examination and...

Exploration in an area around the historic Prince Alfred mine consisted mainly of detailed geological mapping and compilation of data derived from comprehensive literature searches, together with processing and interpretation of available geophysical...

Exploration targets were gold and base metals in Adelaidean and basement rocks, 20 km southwest of Mount Gunson. Regional and infill calcrete sampling did not reveal any areas worthy of follow up, and geophysical interpretation indicated depths to...

Numerous base metal occurrences and historic mines occur in the Mt Lyndhurst area, hosted mainly in Neoproterozoic rocks of the Adelaide Geosyncline. Investigations at several prospects have included detailed mapping plus soil and rock chip sampling....

The area now relinquished, which comprises 322 square km or 13.5% of the originally granted area, is the northern of two discrete licence sub-blocks located approximately 25 km south-east of Pimba. Scattered base metal geochemical anomalies found in...

Base metal and gold exploration was carried out near the Great Gladstone Mine, approximately 15 km southeast of Quorn. Preliminary rock chip samples obtained within a north - plunging anticline were anomalous for Cu and Ba, and one barite / haematite...

Soil and rock chip sampling together with reconnaissance mapping were carried out over an area of possible igneous intrusion-related skarn alteration of Adelaidean calcareous metasediments, located approximately 5 km north-west of Stonefield. The...

Stratiform copper mineralisation in Neoproterozoic sediments of the Stuart Shelf, and Olympic Dam style Cu-Au mineralisation in Mesoproterozoic basement, were the targets of exploration in an area 50 km south-west from Mount Gunson. A regional soil...

Economic evaluation of the Kapunda copper deposit for open pit mineability has included the acquisition of experimental and ore - definitive EIP and MIP surveys along strike extensions of the main fault zone, the commissioning of consultants' detailed...

Results of a university student's long summer vacation project aimed at supporting SADME Gawler Craton and Stuart Shelf stratigraphic and isotopic dating studies that were commenced after the discovery by Western Mining Corp. of the Olympic Dam...

Ongoing exploration of abandoned historic mine workings and the surrounding area at the Mountain of Light prospect, located approximately 2 miles east of Copley, was aimed at delineating an economic copper oxide/carbonate - mineralised orebody and any...
