The Abminga Diamond Project, undertaken by Caldera Resources NL, was granted exploration project status, including permission for EL joint reporting, in July 1996. This event followed up to two years of work by other operators on a number of...

Exploration drilling by Utah Development Co. during 1973 and 1974 in the area covered by EL 125 has outlined at least 2,000 million tonnes of medium quality steaming coal, of a quality considered to be comparable to that for coal from ETSA's Leigh...

The Lake Phillipson coal deposits currently under consideration by Utah Development Company as a potential mine, are located in a remote and arid region of Australia. Surface water sources simply do not exist in this area and any development will...

EL 4493 lies in the far north of South Australia, abutting the Northern Territory border, and is centred about 30 km east of the Stuart Highway. It falls entirely within the confines of Tieyon Station. Recently, a portion of the licence totalling 218...

After licence management was returned to Reedy Lagoon for a third time, the licensee studied Cauldron Resources' 1996 aeromagnetic data and identified an additional three magnetic anomalies (EC23, 26 and 27) possessing possible kimberlite traits....

A small area centred ~130 km north of Marla, and abutting the Northern Territory border along the northern side of Tieyon Station, has been explored for possible economic buried secondary uranium deposits, which Tianda Uranium (Tianda) thought could...

This poster was exhibited to accompany a talk presented by the authors at the 1st Eromanga Basin Symposium, Adelaide, 9-11 November 1982 (the talk abstract is indexed separately).

No work took place on the subject licence area, located ~ 60 km south of Oodnadatta on the western side of the Peake and Denison Ranges, during its first four years of tenure. It had been taken up originally to explore for possible undercover roll...

An area located in the far north of South Australia, abutting the Northern Territory border, and centred ~30 km east of the Stuart Highway on Tieyon Station, has been explored for possible economic buried secondary uranium deposits, which it was...

Sampling of a thin, gently dipping quartz pebble conglomerate in the Mount Kingston - Peake area (13 samples totalling 3400 kg) gave Au values ranging from 0 - 0.036 g/t (mean value 0.015 g/t). Five samples taken for testing from two other areas...

TARGET: Diamondiferous kimberlites in the Boorthanna Trough region (near Nilpinna Springs). EXPLORATION: A literature review, the reprocessing and re-interpretation of data from BHP's 1983 Peake Creek Aerial Magnetic Survey flown by Aerodata /...

TARGET: Possible diamonds and source diamondiferous kimberlites in the Boorthanna Trough region. EXPLORATION: Present-day drainage heavy mineral sampling for kimberlitic indicators, follow-up barrage sampling for diamonds, an aerial magnetic survey...

Possible alluvial placer deposits of diamonds formed within the conglomeratic Early Jurassic Algebuckina Sandstone were sought in the Mount Anna district, as part of a wider search conducted across three adjoining ELs. Work on EL 1640 consisted of a...

Evaluation of the diamond potential of the Arckaringa area, 50 km south-west of Oodnadatta, which is here considered to be a region both tectonically and geologically favourable for the past emplacement of kimberlitic intrusive bodies, has comprised...

TARGET: Coal in the Arckaringa Basin. EXPLORATION: Rotary drilling (248 holes totalling 56,498 m, including 59 partly cored holes totalling 3555 m. RESULTS: The Wintinna, East Wintinna, Westfield and Murloocoppie coal deposits were discovered and...

Possible economic epithermal/hydrothermal uranium and base metal deposits hosted by Early to Middle Proterozoic meta-igneous and metasedimentary basement rocks in the northern Peake and Denison Ranges were the primary targets addressed by CRA in their...

Exploration for possible buried Olympic Dam (Cu-Au-U) style mineralisation, undertaken in the Welbourn Hill area by Newmont Australia Limited through its subsidiary Newcrest Mining, initially comprised the acquisition of ground magnetic, gravity and...

TARGET: Diamonds. EXPLORATION: Drilling (1 rotary hole totalling 306 m) over a possible buried kimberlitic diatreme identified from seismic and gravity surveys. RESULTS: No kimberlite was intersected.

Over the report period Agip Australia completed the drilling and geophysical logging of 39 open rotary holes totalling 3845 m to investigate if economic coal seams occur within Permian sediments of the southern Arckaringa Basin. Although the Permian...
