In a search for a new style of economic iron oxide copper - gold mineralisation in the Gawler Craton's Olympic Domain, which is being focussed on prospects mapped along a craton - scale, NW trending late fault in an area 70 km south-east of Woomera,...

Cambrian rocks lying beneath relatively thin Phanerozoic cover on the western edge of the Murray Basin were targeted by CSR principally for stratiform volcanogenic massive copper sulphide deposits, and for epigenetic Palaeozoic gold occurrences...

Recent company reconnaissance studies have shown the presence of anomalously high Ta and Nb in sodic granites in the Mount Painter area. Herein a preliminary account is given of the field relationships, petrology, geochemistry, mineral chemistry and...

Exploration of a thick sequence of Middle Proterozoic sediments and volcanics deposited within the Moonabie Graben, and regarded as similar in age and tectonic setting to that seen at Olympic Dam, has comprised aerial magnetic, radiometric and INPUT...

Two vertical rotary mud precollared diamond drillholes totalling 1085 m, which were drilled on coincident gravity/magnetic anomalies in the Lake Cootabarlow area as part of a search for Olympic Dam type mineralisation, intersected and sampled several...

Relevant older data from a sequence of exploration programs in the Mount Painter Province, undertaken on Special Mining Leases since 1965, have been previously released. Exploration for possible economic buried epithermal/hydrothermal and stratabound...

Eight buried anomalous gravity/magnetic bullseye features in the Coonalpyn - Tintinara area, previously identified by CSR Ltd from SAEI aeromagnetic data and regional gravity surveying, were followed up by ground magnetic, Sirotem and IP surveys. The...

As part of a regional search for possible shallowly buried iron oxide - associated copper-gold deposits related to altered Gawler Range Volcanics hidden under younger cover rocks, Minotaur undertook ground gravity surveys in the two subareas of its EL...

In a search for possible economic buried sediment-hosted, 'disseminated' style gold deposits formed within Neoproterozoic strata in an area located immediately south-east and east of Olary, reconnaissance 1:10,500 scale geological mapping and stream...

During 2004 MER Geological Survey Branch officers conducted detailed mapping within four small areas of the western Musgrave Ranges, as a follow-on to recently ceased prior company exploration, with the similar aim of evaluating the magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE...

Two licence areas, respectively located 50 km east-northeast and 30 km south of the recent Prominent Hill iron oxide - associated copper-gold discovery, were investigated for possible additional deposits of that type. After carrying out initial...

Exploration in the Curramulka and Pine Point areas on east-central Yorke Peninsula targeted Olympic Dam style iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposits related through contact metasomatism to Hiltaba Suite equivalent granites. A gravity...

No diamonds or kimberlite indicator minerals were found in loam and subsurface samples collected from an area of strongly fractured volcanic rocks in the north-eastern Flinders Ranges, abutting the Lake Frome Plains south-east of Arkaroola. The basalt...

A manganese-rich Adelaidean stratigraphic unit outcropping along the western flank of the Mount Remarkable Range, which returned 1.8% Co, 1.5% Cu and 1.0% Zn in a grab sample from the Willowie Cobalt prospect, warrants further work because it is...

Several potential buried diatreme targets, plus regional basement potential for northeast-trending Proterozoic Cu-Au and Ni-Cu mineralisation, were identified within the Nullarbor Regional Reserve and Yalata Aboriginal Lands on western Eyre Peninsula....

Exploration for possible volcanogenic massive sulphide or Mount Isa - type replacement style epigenetic/hydrothermal base and precious metal deposits within Cambro-Ordovician basement in an area located north of Coomandook has consisted only of a...

The PACE Initiative drilling collaboration proposal DPY3-06 was formulated to drill test three gravity - (magnetic) anomalies seen along the buried Benagerie Ridge area of the Curnamona Province of South Australia, on EL 3019 (Quinyambie Station)...

An area located approximately 130 km north-west of Port Augusta, on the south-eastern margin of Lake Gairdner, is being explored for possible buried iron oxide - associated copper-gold±uranium (IOCG-U) mineralisation formed within the Mesoproterozoic...

The mineralisation potential for platinum group elements within several concealed mafic and ultramafic intrusions was the target within an area taken out north of Ceduna. Limited resampling of stored bottomhole cores from 7 prior CRAE aircore...

CRA's reprocessing and interpretation of all available gravity data from previous BMR and SADME surveys over the Bute area, and a re-analysis of stored drill cores (16 samples taken from Bute DDH2 and Bute DDH12) failed to provide the company with...
