Results of previously conducted ground magnetometry, auger drilling, and costeaning, plus those of a current programme of diamond drilling (3 holes, total 1919 feet) have demonstrated that the mafic/ultramafic Wanka Wanka Dyke is a laterally...

Regional stream sediment sampling across the southern Fleurieu Peninsula (133 bulk samples), done outside the previously sampled Cape Jervis / Talisker mine area, failed to locate any base metal anomalies that might be related to subtle pneumatolytic...

As part of a continuing search for possible Palaeoproterozoic unconformity and vein-related hydrothermal uranium deposits in the northern Peake and Denison Ranges basement outcrop region, prospective stratigraphic and structural features were mapped...

Exploration for Zambian Copperbelt or Broken Hill type base metal sulphide orebodies, plus possible uranium, gold and copper-nickel occurrences in high grade metamorphic rocks, over the Lincoln Uplands adjacent to Port Lincoln, was undertaken using...

South-westwards inclined diamond drillhole No. 11 was put in to 400 feet total hole depth by licensee Kennecott during the subject reporting period, to investigate the postulated buried inland extension of a continuously mineralised sheet-like body of...

As part of a regional search for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VHMS) base metal deposits, a geological reconnaissance plus rock chip sampling was carried out in the vicinity of old copper workings in the Black Hills / Mutooroo Ridge region, 40 km...

A structurally deformed area in the southwestern corner of SML 704, having many copper carbonate showings and small historic workings known as the Yudnamutana Mining Field, has been mapped at a semi-detailed scale. The area is transected by the...

To implement its plan to deepen Paratoo DD1 to a total depth of approximately 2000 feet, in order to try to intersect economic copper mineralisation in unweathered rocks below the water table at 500 feet vertical depth, Kennecott recommenced inclined...

Work carried out on the now relinquished ground comprised 1:20,000 scale detailed geological mapping in six localities, plus systematic grab sampling of selected rock outcrop and float lithologies.

The project aim was to determine the petrogenetic significance of biotite found in granulite facies metamorphic rocks from the Kenmore Park and Everard areas of the Musgrave Block, and to provide brief mineralogical data on 92 rock samples to indicate...

Ongoing exploration for precious and base metals in the Glenloth - Tarcoola area has lately involved extending the reconnaissance geological and geochemical survey grid, both to the west and the east of the original Kenella Rocks area of...

Exploration for possible stratabound copper deposits, over an area 5 miles south-east of Carrieton, consisted of rock chip sampling and field geological mapping at 1:25,000 scale of outcropping folded and brecciated River Wakefield Group sediments,...

Exploration for possible economic base metal and gold occurrences in the Anabama area has comprised semi-detailed geological mapping at 1:21,600 scale, rock chip sampling (502 samples), regional and infill stream sediment sampling (1034 samples),...

Prospecting, mapping and rock sampling were completed to assess the potential for Mount Gunson - type stratabound copper occurrences within folded Upper Proterozoic arkosic-calcareous arenites that overlie intermediate-basic volcanic rocks....

In a search for possible remaining economic primary or secondary uranium deposits in an area of known such mineral occurrences located around Mount Victoria, a consultant was engaged by Esso Minerals to conduct detailed 1:12,000 scale geological...

As part of a regional search for possible economic stratabound Early Palaeozoic base metal deposits, Kennecott Explorations carried out stream sediment sampling and geological mapping of the Kanyaka Syncline, plus more intensive near-mine exploration...

The subject licence area was taken up to explore for buried economic copper mineralisation in fractured/faulted, hydrothermally-altered Neoproterozoic country rocks associated with blind, near-surface diapiric structures that may have intruded into...

Exploration carried out mainly to look for possible large primary deposits of uranium ore in localities surrounding Ethiudna Hill initially addressed the potential of several hard rock showings of uranium mineralisation which had been found by...
