The YARDEA 1:250,000 scale regional geological map area straddles the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges on northern Eyre Peninsula. The only major township within the area is Minnipa, with Kimba and Wudinna both located immediately south of the...

A tenement in the Coulta district of south-western Eyre Peninsula has lately been explored by International Metals, after its prior research had outlined seven areas there as being of prime interest in a search for Archaean greenstone units which...

No work was completed on the subject three tenements during the 2010 reporting period, because the JV's focus then was to explore areas closer to the Beltana mine. However, it was believed that several other high priority base metal - prospective...

As part of an exploration project targeting possible large-scale opal occurrences hidden at depth beneath marine shale outcrops in the Stuart Range 'Breakaway' country, the subject licence was taken up to cover certain ground lying adjacent to the...

Exploration of an area located about 50 km west of Kingoonya, looking for possible Archaean to Proterozoic mafic intrusive and shear-related economic gold and base metal mineralisation, has lately been hampered financially by the exit of Mount Isa...

A small area located immediately west and north-west of Vivonne Bay on Kangaroo Island has been explored for possible economic occurrences of the lithium, tantalum and rare earth element (REE) - bearing accessory minerals lepidolite, zinnwaldite and...

Hillgrove Resources Limited (Hillgrove) was granted ADI Round 2 programme subsidy funds to allow it to undertake diamond drill testing of a combined MT - gravity - magnetic anomaly located near its Kanmantoo mine, which it has termed the Stella...

The Burra (Burra) Mine, situated 150 km north of Adelaide within the Adelaide Geosyncline, produced 2.7 million tonnes of copper ore in two major mining phases - 1845-1877 and 1970-1981. The first phase was initially progressed by underground...

This report presents the results from multi-isotopic apatite and zircon SHRIMP U–Pb geochronology on thirteen samples from the central-western Gawler Craton. Eleven drill core samples are interpreted ultramafic to mafic intrusive rocks, with most...

Opal has a long history of use, both as a treasured possession and for personal adornment. Opal artefacts several thousand years old have been discovered in East Africa. The first discovery of common opal in Australia was made near Angaston (SA) by...

During Year 7 of the project, Goldfields did no more field work, but undertook office-based analyses of bedrock geochemical and geological data obtained in its 2012 aircore drilling campaign. Image processing and interpretation of the Canegrass...
