In a search for possible economic Palaeoproterozoic syngenetic/stratiform base metals within an area located just north of Cleve on central Eyre Peninsula, geological mapping (1:20,000 scale) and rock chip sampling was carried out over poor exposures...

In May of 1969 the mineralized Parabarana area was secured by North Flinders Mines Ltd, and during the last three years, it has been the subject of a comprehensive exploration programme. Exploration methods have included: 1. A stream sediment survey...

Anomalous gold and base metal geochemistry, detected in the early 1970s at a sample site between Lakes Everard and Gairdner, which lies in the vicinity of the contact between two Gawler Range Volcanics stratigraphic units, has not been further...

Kennecott took up 3 SMLs in the Mount Painter district during 1968 to evaluate known copper-uranium occurrences and to search for new occurrences. At the same time, they secured the ground surrounding four 40-acre Mineral Claims already in their...

After one of E-Z's Beltana-based field parties discovered some high radioactivity associated with copper mineralisation in old mine workings in the Arrowie Gorge area during early 1968, six mineral claims were taken out to secure the area of interest...

A rotary percussion drilling programme (8 vertical holes for a total penetration of 1920 feet) was undertaken at Netley Hill to look for economic copper and molbdenum mineralisation in a greisen (hydrothermally altered granite) body which has an...

As part of a regional programme evaluating the potential of the Eyre Peninsula for economic stratabound base metal deposits, an area of relatively good outcrop lying north-west and west of Cowell was explored by 1:20,000 scale geological mapping, rock...

Numerous small, occasionally high grade occurrences of talc and asbestiform amphibole minerals, barite, vermiculite and sodic feldspar were discovered by prospecting across a wide, often rugged hilly area lying to the north-west of Arkaroola...

A programme of rotary-percussion drilling (11 vertical holes, total 1522 feet) was undertaken at Mount Victoria to further test the South Australian Department of Mines' several previous (in 1954 and 1955) shallow intersections of relatively low grade...

Poorly described Lower Carpentarian basement ?basic igneous rocks, occurring over an area of approximately 65 square miles situated 3 to 8 miles east and north-east of Iron Knob, were investigated by BHP to establish their exact nature and to assess...

Exploration carried out by North Broken Hill under fairly thick Cainozoic cover in the Sedan - Cambrai district initially sought possible economic deposits of epithermal base metals associated with known basic and ultrabasic rocks of the Black Hill...

Copper exploration in the Copley region was undertaken in an attempt to delineate additional ore deposits within an economic distance of the recently assessed Mountain of Light orebody in SML 648, which had been shown to contain 750,000 tons of...

Special Mining Lease 199 was one of three leases taken up by Kennecott Explorations (Australia) Pty Ltd in the Mount Painter district during 1968, to evaluate one known copper-uranium deposit (Shamrock Valley, SML 236), and to search for new...

TARGET: Disseminated low grade, large tonnage deposits of copper, lead and zinc mineralisation formed in Adelaidean metasediments overlying Mesoproterozoic igneous rocks. EXPLORATION: 1:12,000 and 1:4,800 scale geological mapping, rock chip, soil and...

A wide-ranging geochemical exploration programme has continued, testing soils of the region for possible mercury emissions from basement, by performing laboratory analyses of samples of the soil vapour after these were first trapped in shallow auger...

Exploration for economic base metal deposits in folded, sheared and migmatised much-layered Palaeoproterozoic metasediments of the Cathedral Rock area has included 1:25,000 scale geological mapping, geochemical sampling of gossan and banded iron...

A circular magnetic low in the extreme north-west of SML 204, delineated by BHP aerial surveying in 1969, was investigated due to its resemblance to magnetic patterns often seen over porphyry copper deposits. The area of investigation lies at the...

A detailed rock chip sampling programme conducted over outcropping deeply laterite-weathered Palaeoproterozoic iron formations in the Pillaworta Hill area (107 samples), plus limited similar geochemical sampling of outcrop (7 samples) and of a stored...

In a search for Kanmantoo style base metal deposits possibly formed within buried Cambro-Ordovician basement rocks present beneath the Murray Valley sediments, an aeromagnetic survey was flown which defined several anomalies considered worthy of...
