Heavy mineral-bearing palaeoshorelines of the Tertiary western Murray Basin were demonstrated to lie within the area of EL 2542 and the adjacent EL 2564. However, work undertaken previously elsewhere in the region suggests that these particular...

102 vertical open RC holes (total penetration 3699 m) were drilled along traverses laid out over an area extending 40-50 km north to north-west of Pinnaroo, targeting possible south-eastwards extensions to the Mindarie and Mercunda heavy mineral (HM)...

Previous work was reviewed over an area centred on Wynarka, 40 km east of Murray Bridge. Although the Tertiary sequence had not then been fully penetrated, drilling results indicated a low grade, iron oxide-dominant heavy mineral assemblage at...

Evaluation of known Tertiary sedimentary diatomite occurrences in the central Murray Mallee was carried out by Agricola Mining Pty Ltd on three prospects located near Geranium. Rotary drilling, with variable recovery sections of bottomhole diamond...

Exploration in now relinquished areas of the south-western Murray Basin for possible shallow economic Tertiary marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands failed to encounter such occurrences. After a review of previous mineral sands exploration in...

Previous investigations of the Late Tertiary Murray Basin shallow marine littoral zone clastic sedimentary sequence (Loxton and Parilla sands) for heavy mineral sand (HM) placer accumulations have discovered numerous occurrences of economic to...

No work was done on the subject licence during the period 14/7/2015 to 27/10/2021. All work done prior to this period on its precursors has been separately reported on earlier by the then tenement holders.

An assessment of the Late Tertiary Murray Basin shallow marine clastic sedimentary sequence (Loxton and Parilla sands) for heavy mineral sand accumulations has discovered numerous occurrences of economic to sub-economic amounts of heavy minerals...

Exploration for possible ancient beach strandline heavy mineral sand placer deposits formed within the Pleistocene Bridgewater Formation has been undertaken in the State's South-East region. This pioneering on-ground work came about after several...

Digging of exploratory shallow costeans into lithified Tertiary arenaceous sedimentary units on the eastern bank of the River Murray, 2 km south-west of Taylorville, to search for inferred workable deposits of decorative fossiliferous sandstone, did...

Nine rotary mud open holes with a total penetration of 499.3 m were drilled, chip sampled and geophysically logged in a search for Moorlands - type coal in Eocene Renmark Beds to the south-east of Murray Bridge. Although the target horizon was...

The interpreted stratigraphic succession is as follows: 0-61 feet: terrestrial sands (Pleistocene-Recent); 61-180 feet: yellow-brown sands, clayey sands and grits (Loxton Sands, Upper Miocene); 180-195 feet: light grey-buff sands (? continental ?...

Monash 1 is located 30 km west of Renmark, and was drilled to a total depth of 1050 m. It penetrated a sequence of Tertiary, Cretaceous and Permian rocks, mostly of marine origin. Cuttings recovered from the hole interval below 1012 m depth extending...

The possibility that economic coal seams may occur in suspected buried Lower Permian sediments occupying the north-western corner of the Canegrass Lobe, where no deep stratigraphic drilling has hitherto been done, was investigated by Minad using...

This report represents a partial surrender of EL 6787. The tenement is a part of the Lucindale Project and is considered prospective for iconic adsorption clay (IAC) hosted rare earth elements (REE) associated with lagoonal/dunal sediments of the...

Exploration licence 6786 "Lucindale Project" is being targeted for ionic adsorption clay (IAC) hosted rare earth elements (REE) associated with lagoonal/dunal sediments of the Murray Basin, overlying the Gambier Limestone. The tenement is located...
