TARGET: Gold in Lower Proterozoic rocks of the Tarcoola Formation and part of the Mulgathing Complex, possibly as a metamorphosed equivalent of the high grade gold orebodies of The Granites (Tanami Desert, NT). EXPLORATION: Interpretation of aerial...

Exploration for possible Proterozoic basement-hosted mesothermal gold mineralisation in rocks bounding the Labyrinth Shear Zone, 18 km north-west of Kingoonya, has consisted only of the acquisition of an airborne magnetic/radiometric survey (4847 line...

As part of Stellar Resources' regional gold exploration programme, aircore drilling along six north-south traverses crossing the Bulgunnia Shear Zone was undertaken during July-August 2009 (data pertaining to this programme was not reported in the...

EL 3369 is located in the central Gawler Craton, and is centred approximately 35 km west and west-northwest of Tarcoola. The licence area consists of two geographically separate [by ~5 km] blocks – exploration activity in the eastern block has...

Following on from the highly successful Gawler Craton - State of Play 2002 conference held by PIRSA in Adelaide in December 2002, the Gawler Craton Team of PIRSA's Geological Survey Branch has recently undertaken a major excursion across the craton....

Reconnaissance investigations of outcropping rocks of the western and central Mulgathing Complex reveal a series of pelitic and psammitic sedimentary rocks, interleaved with generally mafic to intermediate composition meta-igneous lithologies. The...

The subject field excursion performed in August-September 2000 in part mimicked that held by the GSSA during September 1997, but included 6 additional stops programmed for Day 1 (31st August 2000) to examine Archaean geology at the southern tip of...

Calcrete sampling over aeromagnetic targets within the Fowler Shear Zone was undertaken to locate evidence of possible Cu-Au mineralisation, developed during emplacement of Hiltaba Suite granites south and south-west of Wynbring. Weakly anomalous Au...

No significant metal anomalism, e.g. Au > 10 ppb, was reported from calcrete sampling of an area 30 km southeast of Tarcoola.

Gold and base metal mineralisation hosted by Archaean gneisses of the Mulgathing Complex and Proterozoic Hiltaba Suite granites was the target of exploration in an area 100 km west of Tarcoola. Regional calcrete sampling on a nominal 1 km grid...

Calcrete sampling over aeromagnetic targets within the Fowler Shear Zone was undertaken, to locate evidence of possible Cu-Au mineralisation developed during emplacement of Hiltaba Suite granites south and south-west of Wynbring. Weakly anomalous Au...

In September and December 2004 Mithril Resources completed 53 vertical aircore and reverse circulation drillholes on Exploration Licence 2842 as part of the SA Government's PACE Initiative 'Theme 2' collaborative drilling programme involving PIRSA...

The Harris Greenstone Domain bedrock drilling program - Phase 1, carried out during May to August 2001, has determined depths to basement, the basement lithology, and has outlined areas of anomalous gold, nickel and chromium geochemistry within...

Geochronology enables us to determine the age of rocks and minerals. The variety of isotopic geochronological techniques give complementary information on, for example, the timing of igneous or metamorphic crystallisation, as is often the case for the...

HyVista Corporation was contracted by DMITRE during August-September 2013 to process an archived set of HyMap airborne hyperspectral scanner data of the Earth's surface radiance properties, that had previously been acquired on 21/11/1998 from a survey...

Shallow Precambrian crystalline basement underlies the greater part of the BARTON 1:250 000 map area. Thicker Neoproterozoic, Cambrian and Carboniferous Permian sediments occur in the northwest, with the southern margin bounded by the Karari Fault...

In a continuation of exploration for economic deposits of gold and base metal mineralisation in the Lake Labyrith area, joint venture operator MIM Exploration carried out a proprietary 'MIMDAS' geophysical survey (utilising combined dipole-dipole IP...

During the late 1990s, company exploratory drilling of the Harris Greenstone Belt in the central Gawler Craton, south of Tarcoola, revealed a package of previously unknown, shallowly buried komatiite lava beds with a strike length in excess of 350 km...

This report presents the results from zircon SHRIMP U–Pb geochronology on seventeen quartzofeldspathic samples from the central-western Gawler Craton. The samples were collected from stratigraphic units mapped as the Archaean to early...

The PACE Geochronology program fosters collaboration on projects of geological and metallogenic significance with focus on dating rocks and minerals from samples suggested by companies through a competitive proposal-based selection process. Successful...
