A new programme of exploration for economic remaining copper mineralisation carried out at Blinman has included surface and underground examination of the old Blinman copper mine, visual inspection of all the recorded copper prospects in the diapir,...

Ongoing exploration by the SA Department of Mines of the copper and molybdenum - mineralised Anabama Granite batholith, which is located 20 km south-east of Manna Hill, has involved detailed geological mapping, soil and rock chip sampling, and the...

In the vicinity of the Paratoo copper mine, located approximately 60 km north-east of Peterborough, the licensee investigated the base and precious metal mineralisation potential of Adelaidean metasedimentary rocks which have been folded into a...

More than 130 samples of pegmatites outcropping in the Olary Province have been examined petrographically to determine the physical and mineralogical nature of their feldspar content, and the effects of alteration and later crystal growth on the...

During early 1970 BHP investigated an area on Roopena Station, 20 miles north-northwest of Whyalla, for possible late Meso- to early Neoproterozoic stratiform copper associated with the basal Adelaidean unconformity. Previously, interesting minor...

Regional geochemical surveys have been conducted by North Broken Hill over 490 square miles covering the northern and central Peake and Denison Ranges, within two new exploration licences which the company took up in 1966 after a private prospector...

Reconnaissance mapping and sampling of an area of poorly exposed Precambrian crystalline basement north of Kingoonya has shown that the regional geology is dominated by intensely folded, discontinuously outcropping banded iron formations that are...

The primary purpose of this study was to describe the petrology of the rocks sampled, and to identify the contained opaque minerals which might possibly be affecting the IP response. Commentary on the likely genesis and similarities/dissimilarities of...

Geological reconnaissance mapping, plus soil, stream sediment and rock chip geochemical sampling, and limited ground magnetic surveys over several mined prospects in the Western River area of Kangaroo Island, failed to disclose indications of an...

In a search for possible concealed stratiform base metal deposits associated with haematitic jaspilites and quartzites in the Cleve Uplands area, extensive rock chip, float and residual soil sampling traverses were followed by geochemical sampling of...

The applicability of prospecting methods based on lithological variations and structural controls have been investigated for locating the talc deposits which occur dispersed in the Mount Fitton region. Emplacement of these deposits is thought to have...

As soon as the SA Government restored public access to the subject ground within Spencer Gulf that it had temporarily reserved from the provisions of the State's Mining Act, Kennecott Explorations (Kennecott) took up SML 85 there to evaluate an...

Outcropping small exposures of granitic rocks, found in nine isolated locations within and lying just to the east of the subject licence, were examined for their potential to host possible economic occurrences of molybdenum and tungsten mineralisation...

SML 434 was taken out to enable making a re-assessment of the economic potential of exposed molybdenite-scheelite mineralisation first identified along the southern shores of Spilsby Island during 1963. There, outcropping equigranular Lower...

Several minor occurrences of copper sulphide mineralisation associated with diapirism and igneous activity centred on the Mount Remarkable Fault were investigated by a literature survey of salient features and of past exploration methods used. It was...

Continuing exploration of the area near Olary, primarily for undiscovered near-surface lodes of economic copper and silver minerals, has involved mainly a close inspection of several old abandoned mines and limited surface geochemical sampling of...

Close examination of large scale apparent folds in the vicinity of Wheal Ellen has led to the conclusion that apparent folds can be produced by a combination of jointing (shearing) and topography. Thus, apart from fault trace offsets, no importance...
