Exploration for possible stratabound or hydrothermal copper deposits in an area between Johnburg and Orroroo consisted of detailed 1:12,000 scale geological mapping and a stream sediment geochemical survey. This work failed to locate any copper of...

Widespread copper carbonate and weathered, disseminated sulphide mineralisation occurring within large diapiric breccias at Oraparinna and Wirrealpa, that are located respectively ~ 35 km north-northeast of Hawker and 20 km east of Blinman, was found...

Renewed exploration of the former Mutooroo mines area and adjacent localities which also lie within outcropping Willyama Complex basement rocks, searching for economic deposits of massive copper sulphides, has comprised intensive regional and detailed...

A mineral systems analysis for Cu-Mo-Au in the Delamerian Orogen has been conducted to assess the orogen's potential for containing this type of mineral occurrence. A conceptual model was delineated, and prospectivity maps were created. These maps can...

MSDP03 is one of four diamond drillholes drilled during 2015 in the Six Mile Hill area as part of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP). The hole was drilled vertically to 262.6 m depth over the period 25/9/2015-2/10/2015, and intersected two...

This report presents the results of a Geological Survey of South Australia drillhole core samples logging project addressing a selection of the cored historical exploration and stratigraphic holes that have penetrated probable Delamerian Orogeny -...

MSDP01 is one of four diamond drillholes drilled during 2015 in the Six Mile Hill area as part of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP). The hole was drilled vertically to 1116.8 m depth over the period 31/7/2015-15/9/2015, and intersected six...

An area south-west of Arkaba Woolshed, 10 miles north of Hawker, shows extensive and generally low grade crocidolite mineralisation of Proterozoic dolomitic limestone, associated with diorite occurrences. True crocidolite is too rare for the area to...

This report provides a summary of high-precision chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (CA-IDTIMS) U-Pb geochronology performed on zircon grains from five samples of Hiltaba Suite granites collected at locations...

A new generation, second edition MARREE 1:250 000 scale geological map and its explanatory notes have been published. These documents represent the conclusion of the Geological Survey of South Australia's latest geological mapping program (1993 to...

A sequence of Cambrian rocks buried beneath thin Phanerozoic cover on the western edge of the Murray Basin was explored for possible skarn-related base metal mineralisation associated with concealed Ordovician granitic intrusions, for stratiform...

Investigations aimed at revising the stratigraphy of the Mount Woods Domain in the north-eastern Gawler Craton have identified numerous metasedimentary and intrusive units. The dominant metasedimentary package has been classified and named the Skylark...

The Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) was a $3.5M cash and $4.11M in-kind collaborative drill program involving government, researchers, service providers and the minerals industry. The objective of the MSDP was to further the understanding of...

This geochronological study was undertaken within the scope of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP), a program that was aimed at improving the understanding of the geology and prospectivity of the southern Gawler Ranges margin area on northern...

Proterozoic basement outcrops consist of syn and post- Kimban Orogeny granitoids, volcanics and basic dykes. Their rock type geochronology, field relationships and regional correlation are reported. Previous economic mineral investigations, plus...
