A tenement area stretching for about 65 km eastwards from Hawker was taken up to explore for possible economic Cattlegrid-style base metal sulphides associated with a Neoproterozoic black shale sedimentary environment. Residual soils covering the...

Ground magnetic traverses carried out over prospective gold and base metal-bearing stratigraphic horizons in the vicinity of the abandoned Waukaringa Goldfield yielded several magnetic anomalies thought to correspond to massive pyritic ore in buried...

Base metal exploration carried out in the vicinity of historic copper workings in the Mount Rose area, situated approximately 30 miles east-northeast of Copley, has consisted of detailed 1:1500 scale geological mapping, soil and rock chip sampling,...

In August 1972 Cultus Pacific commenced exploring a number of historic copper prospects near Lyndhurst in the northern Flinders Ranges, with a view to assessing their feasibility for open-cut mining. The programme of work completed so far has...

Exploration of the area around the margins of the Oraparinna Diapir for commercial barite deposits has consisted of aerial photographic studies, plus ground geological traverses of photo-interpreted fault structures, and geological mapping, trenching...

Exploration for stratabound copper mineralisation in the Mount Lyndhurst area, allied with intensive prospecting of existing Mineral Claims and other historic base metal prospects and reported showings, has demonstrated a favourable geological...

An area located approximately 57 km east of Beltana was taken up to explore for possible economic hydrothermal/stratabound, replacement-type base and precious metal deposits in Neoproterozoic Callanna Group diapiric breccias and rafted dolomitic...

A consultant's technical review was received on existing recent exploration data originating from the SA Mines Department, for the Mount Coffin Diapir and its immediate environment. It was found that significant geochemical and induced polarisation...

Previously detected low-level geochemical anomalies for Cu, Pb and Zn were confirmed by follow-up stream sediment and soil sampling. Field inspections were made by helicopter of selected anomalous areas in the Upper Proterozoic and Lower Cambrian...

In a search for possible stratiform hydrothermal gold deposits in a stratigraphic/structural setting similar to those of economic gold occurrences at the Mount Grainger Goldfield and on the Paratoo Dome, 45 rock chip samples were collected from...

In a search for possible economic stratiform copper mineralisation formed at the base of the Neoproterozoic Tapley Hill Formation, no significant anomalies were located during limited follow-up sampling of elevated Cu reported from previous stream...

8 diamond drillholes totalling 1597 feet were drilled to test for buried lode extensions at the Avondale lead-zinc mine and for hydrothermal copper mineralisation possibly associated with diorite dykes at the Belliack prospect, where anomalous rock...

A sequence of exploration programs in the Mount Painter Province, undertaken on Special Mining Leases since 1965, have been previously released. Exploration for base metals since 1974, in an area extending 20 km southwest from Arkaroola, comprised a...

Exploration was undertaken for Telfer - style stratabound gold at the contact between the Tapley Hill Formation and the Tarcowie Siltstone, and for placer type gold in glacial sequences such as the Appila Tillite and Wilyerpa Formation (94 stream...

Possible intrusive Proterozoic salt bodies beneath the Blinman, Upalinna, Martins Well, Mt Hemming, Willippa and Bibliando Domes were investigated by field mapping, including the construction of measured outcrop stratigraphic sections, seismic...

No new work. Report describes the results of a SAMREF database literature search for available geological information pertaining to the Kapunda mine, with a consultant's overview of the geological setting and exploration potential for finding related...

Detailed geological mapping and rock chip geochemical sampling of inferred Telfer style gold prospects in the Waukaringa area, 40 km north-northwest of Yunta, have identified anomalous gold in silicified sandstones, quartzites and quartz veins, as...

Gold/copper exploration being undertaken north-west of Yunta has comprised rock chip geochemical sampling and BLEG stream sediment sampling. No significant gold anomalies were identified from the drainage bulk samples. High assay values of up to 8.8...

During exploration for possible economic stratabound base metal sulphides within the Upper Proterozoic Tindelpina Shale Member, 80 km east of Hawker, 647 samples of weathered calcareous black shale were collected along a 90 km strike distance as part...

The resumption of brownfields mineral exploration at the historic Kapunda copper mine and nearby prospects, undertaken by a new company, has targeted previously identified copper geochemical anomalies lying on the abandoned mine leases and along...
