An area centred ~200 km north of Cook has been explored for possible buried heavy mineral sands (HM) marine placer accumulations that may have formed along a topographic high that is geographically situated immediately north of the Ooldea Range, and...

The three adjoining subject licences, which are located north of the Trans Australian Railway and approximately 200 km north-west of the town of Ceduna, have jointly been fully surrendered due to their geology being regarded by the joint venturers as...

The western two-thirds, or 427 square km, of an area located on the eastern side of the Nullarbor Plain, ~200 km north-west of Ceduna, has been partially relinquished because in the licensee's opinion it does not exhibit the geological features...

An attenuated licence area extending for 40-75 km north to north-east of Penong was taken up to explore part of the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin for possible economic buried Tertiary detrital heavy mineral (HM) marine sand placer deposits. Over...

Between 2008 and 2013, Iluka drilled a total of 45 vertical exploratory aircore holes on EL 3330/4546 for a total penetration of 1324.9 m, as part of reconnaissance drilling along traverses spaced 1 km apart with holes put in at 50 m intervals....

70% of the original area of the subject licence, which is located north of the Trans Australian Railway and approximately 200 km north-west of the town of Ceduna and 75 km east of the Maralinga Village, has been relinquished due to it being regarded...

Two adjoining areas located north of Koonibba were taken up to explore this part of the south-eastern Eucla Basin for possible buried economic marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands (HM), because they were believed to contain shallow or exposed...

Four scattered Iluka heavy mineral sands (HM) exploration licences located on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin north of Ceduna have now been fully surrendered. On the basis of exploration conducted on them until late in 2017, this work being...

Two adjoining areas located on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin, and centred ~60 km north-east of Fowlers Bay, are being explored for possible buried economic occurrences of zircon-rich heavy mineral sands (HMS) that may have been formed along...

During the 2011-2012 joint reporting year, Iluka undertook drilling on ELs 3638, 3742 and 4544 with three aims: to extend the Typhoon HM deposit resource, to follow-up results of brownfields drilling at the Sonoran prospect, and to do further infill...

27 contiguous licence areas within the eastern Eucla Basin, that span a combined 21,772 square km of ground between points as far as 90 km north of the Trans Australian Railway, 50 km east of Nullarbor and extending right down to the coastline, and...

TARGET: Heavy mineral sands in the Ooldea Range. EXPLORATION: RAB drilling (223 holes totalling 6384 metres). RESULTS: Mineralized intervals were absent in the Ooldea Sand. Anomalous intersections of unpromising mineral assemblages were reported in...

TARGET: Possible Tertiary strandline deposits of heavy mineral sands in an area north of Bookabie, and also inland from Fowlers Bay near the Koonibba Mission. EXPLORATION: A photogeological study, and reconnaissance RC drilling along 7 traverses (88...

TARGET: Heavy mineral sands in Tertiary sediments of the Eucla Basin, immediately north of and extending to 200 km north-northwest of Ceduna. EXPLORATION: A review of historical data, the conduct of helicopter-assisted soil heavy mineral sampling...

The heavy mineral potential of Tertiary sediments in the Chundie Swamps was investigated with 2 drill traverses (43 RC open vertical holes totalling 863 m) and reconnaissance soil mineralogical sampling. Heavy mineral contents were very low.

An area located on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin, and centred ~60 km north-east of Fowlers Bay, has now been taken under licence by WA-based company Iluka Resources to explore for possible buried economic occurrences of zircon-rich heavy...

A group of adjoining tenements covering ground situated between Ceduna and the Trans Australia Railway are being explored for possible economic buried Tertiary marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands. During the 2007-2008 joint reporting year,...

Maralinga is located on the crest of the Ooldea Range, an ancient (Tertiary) coastal dune which is bounded to the south by the Nullarbor Plain and to the north by Tietkens Plain. The dune field of the Great Victoria Desert covers much of the region...

This study draws together diverse aspects of South Australia’s heavy minerals (HM) resources geoscience to provide an overall context for evaluating their occurrence, economic significance and origins. Two main objectives are addressed by the subject...

The trigger event causing this data release to be made is that three portions of licence ground that together cover ~289 square km or 19.5% of the former area of EL 4217 Barton East have now been relinquished, as of 11/1/2011. No corresponding partial...
