An area consisting of two separate sub-blocks, centred approximately 60 km west-northwest of Woomera, was taken up to explore the IOCG-U mineralisation potential of the concealed Mesoproterozoic metasedimentary cover and underlying Meso- to...

Possible iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) type large base and precious metal deposits which may have formed within buried Proterozoic basement are being targeted in an area centred about 145 km south-east of Coober Pedy and 100 km north-west...

An area centred approximately 30 km south-west of Woomera was taken up to explore the IOCG mineralisation potential of an isolated, circular outline regional gravity anomaly called the Island Dam prospect, seen to have a semi-coincident magnetic high...

An area centred approximately 60 km south-southwest of Woomera was taken up to explore the IOCG mineralisation potential of an isolated, oval-shaped regional gravity anomaly called the Evelyn Dam prospect, which licensee Archer Exploration thought...

An area centred approximately 110 km north of Port Augusta, covering part of the Pernatty Ridge plateau on the south-western side of Lake Torrens, approximately 145 km south-east of the Olympic Dam mine, was taken up to explore for possible economic...

Exploring the earth resources in the Harris Greenstone Belt (HGB) region is complicated by a regolith cover produced by a long and complex history of landscape evolution. The present surface of the HGB indicates little of the complex palaeochannel...

This field guidebook provides brief geological summaries to sites in South Australia that were visited during the 2006 Broken Hill Exploration Initiative pre-conference excursion. Figures show the location of the field area and approximate location of...

The OOLDEA 1:250 000 map area, in the far west of SA, includes portions of the Maralinga Tjarutja Aboriginal Lands, Maralinga Prohibited Area, and Nullarbor Regional Reserve. It is traversed by the Trans-Australian Railway. There is no significant...

The PORT AUGUSTA 1:250,000 mapsheet area covers the north-eastern part of the Eyre Peninsula, the northern Spencer Gulf and the south-western Flinders Ranges, and extends from latitude 32°00'S to 33°00'S and longitude 136°30'S to 138°00'S. The main...

Between July 2015 and April 2016, the Geological Survey of South Australia, in collaboration with the Deep Exploration Technologies Cooperative Research Centre (DET CRC), Minotaur Exploration Limited and Kingston Resources Limited, carried out a...

The Six Mile Hill 1:75 000 Map Sheet was produced as part of a mapping program integrated into the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) along the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges. The objective of the mapping program was to provide a regional...

The revised digital geology map of the Cultana 1:100 000 map sheet and accompanying geological descriptions in this report are the first components of the 2nd edition PORT AUGUSTA 1:250 000 map sheet to be completed. The subject map sheet occupies the...

The WINTINNA 1:250 000 mapsheet area lies between latitudes 27° to 28° South and longitudes 133°30’ to 135°00’ East. This ~16 400 square km area includes the Marla and Cadney Park settlements, and is crossed by the Stuart Highway and Adelaide to...

Ground magnetic, ground gravity and electrical geophysical surveys were carried out during base metal exploration of SAEI-identified structural and aeromagnetic anomalies located along the northern margin of Lake Gairdner, searching for epithermal...

Interpretation of existing geophysical and drillhole data, including core chip re-assaying and petrography, was carried out for four areas located approximately 60 km north-west of Woomera. Interpreted geophysical features of the basement are...

Olympic Dam style iron oxide hosted copper-gold mineralisation was the target of exploration in an area immediately south-east of Andamooka. Following geological and geophysical interpretations of available data, a soil sampling program and partial...

A review of existing geophysical data was carried out over an area west of and extending for 90 km south of Woomera. Further aerial magnetic surveys are seen as necessary to define areas of thin Pandurra Formation and younger cover, and to locate...

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...

The area surrounding the town of Glendambo, 260 km north-west of Port Augusta, is underlain by a prospective crystalline basement composed of Proterozoic Gawler Range Volcanics, Hiltaba Suite granite and Gairdner Swarm dykes, buried beneath a variable...

Initial investigations undertaken in the Garford area, 170 km north-west of Tarcoola, comprised lag and soil geochemical sampling, ground magnetic surveying, and petrographic descriptions of outcrop samples. Follow-up aircore and RAB drilling (78...
