26 tons of yttrium and 4 tons scandium are extractable from 2 tailings dams with high sulphate content but less than 10% extraction possible from bulk of uranium leach residues with high solid mineral content.

No satisfactory process for direct chemical treatment of the bulk Port Pirie tailings. Effectiveness of high intensity magnetic separation for concentrating monazite and xenotime from deslimed tailing should be assessed. Slimes fraction is suitable...

In a search conducted over an area lying beyond but near the southern edge of Coober Pedy township, looking primarily for possible economic buried Mesoproterozoic basement-hosted copper-gold deposits of predominantly IOCG type, the licensee Nova...

A search primarily directed at assessing the stratiform copper and magnesite potential of an area centred 50 km south-west of Marree has consisted mainly of office studies comprising the collection and review of open file geoscientific data. Early in...

A search primarily directed at assessing the stratiform copper potential of a small area centred 16 km north-east of Cradock consisted only of office studies comprising the collection and review of open file geoscientific data.

An area located immediately north of Lake Gilles and centred on Harris Bluff in the Uno Range was taken up to explore for possible buried unconformity style uranium mineralisation which could have formed at the base of the Corunna Conglomerate, and...

At the commencement of the term of the subject licence, exploratory/appraisal diamond drilling using a single rig was continued on the Olympic Dam gravity anomaly by the licensee for gathering more geological information to use to try to understand...

A search primarily directed at assessing the hydrothermal stratiform copper potential of a small area centred to the east of the Chace Range, about 35 km north-east of Hawker, consisted mainly of office studies comprising a review and evaluation of...

61% of a subsequent licence area located in the southern Willouran Ranges has been surrendered due to its perceived diminished prospectivity for buried economic Neoproterozoic stratiform copper mineralisation and inferred MVT, replacement or...

Exploration for possible economic buried base metal or uranium primary mineralisation that could have formed in Proterozoic metasedimentary and metavolcanic basement rocks within a small area located north-west of Mount Painter consisted only of...

The Queen Mary Wolfram Mine at Callawonga Creek which was discovered in 1911, worked till 1918 and reopened in 1952 is the only one three local workings to produce worthwhile wolfram ore. The mine is located intersecting pneumatolytic quartz veins...

The MARREE mapsheet area includes the south-western portion of the Strzelecki Desert plus parts of the Tirari Desert, north-western Flinders Ranges and north-eastern Willouran Ranges, between latitudes 29 to 30 degrees S and longitudes 138 to 139...

Exploration, initially looking for rare metal elements within beryl, tantalite and ilmenorutile suite mineral occurrences, was carried out in the vicinity of diapiric breccia structures intruded by leucogranite in the area between Arkaroola Village...

Diamond exploration carried out within an area lying to the south-southwest of the Peake and Denison Ranges has aimed to find potential kimberlite sources for nine diamonds, previously recovered by De Beers from surface bulk samples, that were...

In an agreement with Oxiana, Toro Energy Limited has Uranium rights covering the Project area. In 2008, exploration activities within tenements comprising the Mount Woods Project targeted iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) style mineralisation. Drilling...

During July 2000, the Minotaur Resources Ltd / Billiton Exploration Australia Pty Ltd mineral exploration alliance entity agreed to farm into the four Coober Pedy Project tenements held by Normandy Exploration (80%), Sons of Gwalia (13%) and Sabatica...

In 2006, work completed on the Prominent Hill Project in the reporting period included drilling of 17 RC holes for 4,255 m and 46 mud/diamond holes at Prominent Hill prospect for 14,301.5 m. The drilling at Prominent Hill intersected wide zones of...

Investigation of reported radiometric anomalies associated with sub-economic iron mineralisation at the Bob Nob prospect, which is situated approximately 8 miles north-west of Arkaroola Homestead, has comprised ground magnetics and scintillometry with...
