A large tenement package which it holds within the central Flinders Ranges region is currently being explored by Perilya, primarily looking for zinc silicate mineralisation similar to the Beltana deposit, but also taking into consideration the...

Renewed exploration by E-Z of the area surrounding the Beltana zinc mine has investigated the possibility for finding deep, unweathered Cambrian or Proterozoic carbonate-hosted zinc-lead sulphide mineralisation. It was considered that this target had...

A partial surrender of 64 square km in 2 blocks representing 13% of the total tenement was undertaken at the renewal of the lease. During licence Year 21 (to 23/11/2014), exploration attention returned to the Red Range prospect in the south of the...

Possible economic stratabound or epigenetic lead-zinc or copper deposits, formed in altered carbonate rocks lying marginal to the Wirrealpa Diapir, were the targets of new exploration centred on the area of the old Wirrealpa lead-silver mine....

TARGET: Diamonds, gold and copper in the Mount Roebuck area. EXPLORATION: Drainage, loam and rock chip sampling, ground magnetic, radiometric and IP surveys, and diamond drilling (4 holes totalling 739 m). RESULTS: A single, 0.5 mm x 0.4 mm diameter...

TARGET: Downdip extensions of known Cambrian stratabound mineralisation occurring at the Eric lead-zinc prospect, principally along a mineralised, disconformable interpreted syn-depositional palaeosurface developed within the Wilkawillina Limestone....

Wertaloona Seismic Survey - AIM:The 1981 Wertaloona Seismic Survey programme was designed by the PELs 5 and 6 Arrowie Block partners to provide the first high quality, multifold seismic reflection data in the area of likely preserved thick Cambrian...

On 19/1/70 Minefields Exploration NL were granted an option over the Truro Talc and Joe's Hill talc deposits situated some 60 miles north-east of Adelaide. Then, during April 1970 a Stage I exploration programme was undertaken, consisting of...

Results of the deep stratigraphic / mineral exploratory well MU-2 drilled near Mulyungarie Homestead, east of Lake Frome and adjacent to the SA/NSW State border, are presented, besides the interpretation of a gravity survey conducted earlier in the...

During the period January 1946-December 1985 under review, the following petroleum exploration work was carried out over the Arrowie Block: 6 gravity, 2 aeromagnetic and 10 seismic surveys (total seismic coverage 2781 line km), plus 4 wells, all dry....

The Bookartoo ochre mine, which lies 19 km south-east of Parachilna on the western face of the Heysen Range, for centuries has been a traditional and important source of quality ceremonial decorative pigment for the aborigines of central and eastern...

3 sets of fault trends are distinguished, representing the Arrowie fault zone and components of the Mount John, Mount Roebuck and Narina fault zones. Small mineral deposits consist of phosphate, barite and copper.

Frequent ‘shows’ of hydrocarbons in Cambrian strata in South and Central Australia have considerably strengthened the belief in the petroleum potential of these Cambrian sediments. In South Australia, prospects for Cambrian hydrocarbon accumulations...

An essentially unmetamorphosed sequence of Upper Proterozoic Adelaide System rocks has been folded into a parallel series of north and north-east trending folds on the ORROROO mapsheet area. Rocks of the Adelaide System are up to 50,000 ft thick, and...

On the lot April, 1970, a request was received from the E and WS department for on additional bore for the Hawker town water supply, to be located preferably close to the existing main and on the south branch of Wonoka Creek, A site was elected by C...

The COPLEY 1:250 000 map area includes the northern Flinders Ranges and the southern part of the Willouran Ranges. It is bounded to the west by the Lake Torrens Sunkland and, to the east, by the Lake Frome Plains. A thick sequence of older Precambrian...

This report outlines the history and concept of the Torrens Hinge Zone project. An account is given of the regional geology, geophysics, geochronology and stratigraphic drilling in the Bute region and adjoining areas of northern Yorke Peninsula. An...

To aid in the correlation of deep refractors in the Frome Embayment, a series of eight seismic refraction velocities were determined on the Proterozoic and Palaeozoic outcropping sections in the Blinman-Wirrealpa area of the Flinders Ranges. The...
