An area lying along the eastern side of Pernatty Lagoon is being explored primarily for possible buried economic IOCG style mineralisation of possible Olympic Dam type, that may be hosted by poorly known Proterozoic or older basement rocks which...

Continuing exploration by Delhi of the industrial salt potential of subsurface brines in the Lake Torrens basin aimed to ascertain the potential reserves of NaCl in the southern part of the lake, and to confirm the availability of suitable brine...

15 vertical exploratory auger holes totalling 348.4 m were drilled in a search for shallowly buried deposits of aluminous clays or claystone located close to the licensee's Rapid Bay limestone quarry and coatal shipment facility, that might be of use...

85 samples of potential mineral deposit- related surface ironstones (68 copper gossans, 6 lead-zinc gossans and 11 false gossans) were analysed chemically and examined mineragraphically in polished section to try to determine geological parameters...

ADI funding was granted by DEM to Kelaray to conduct approved geophysical surveys and exploratory drilling and apply logistical support within its Murdie Project, for a combined expenditure of up to A$320,000. At the outset of the project, Kelaray...

Adelaide Brighton Cement took up tenure of the Moorlands lignite deposit during September 1976 in order to conduct confirmatory drilling of the published coal resource, to prepare a mining study for Lobe 'E', and overall, to assess the coal's...

Within the eight licences comprising the subject joint venture ground, farminee Gold Fields Australasia (GFA) has identified Neoproterozoic rocks of the Delamerian fold and thrust belt sub-province, and in particular of the region of maximum flexure...

Economic Olympic Dam style iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation has been the target of exploration carried out in three adjoining areas which together extend for about 55 to 170 km north of Port Augusta, covering southern Lake...

In an area centred ~40 km south-east of Coober Pedy, following its processing of open file GCAS aeromagnetic data (Region 8A/8B) using Vector Residual Mag Intensity (VRMI) and high frequency residual gradients, the licensee had identified two untested...

The Cross Borehole Tomography project (XHT) is a collaboration between Boart Longyear and Roqsense Pty Ltd, supported kindly by the South Australian Department of Energy and Mining with funding through successful application and award of the...

White clay is won from 5 pits operated by 3 companies for use in white cement and cream brick manufacture with some as a filler / extender. White clay formed by intensive kaolinization of mica schist and fine grained micaceous quartzite. Irregular...

TARGET: Native sulphur associated with possible salt dome structures, the locations of which were interpreted from past petroleum exploration seismic reflection surveys. EXPLORATION: A detailed gravity survey, and 2 rotary/core drillholes totalling...

During licence Year 16, on its renewed EL 4534 over the period October to December 2010, South Australian Coal Limited (SA Coal) undertook a drilling campaign of 15 rotary mud partly cored vertical holes for 2871 m which included 2064.7 m of coring,...

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...

A geological consultant's study of the Glenorchy - Plumbago granitic fault block area in the western half of SML 118, to try to elucidate its relationship to known uranium mineralisation, suggests that there is a structural association of lodes with...

The sediments exposed in the Bowmans trial pit were mapped and sampled in detail. The oldest formation recognised is the mid to late Eocene Clinton Coal Measures, which is represented by low rank, soft brown coal and unconsolidated, medium grained...

EPP 24 lies in the north-western corner of the Otway Basin, offshore from Robe, South Australia. The permit geology is dominated by sediments of the Early Cretaceous Otway Group. A tectonic hinge-line called the Chama Terrace runs obliquely from...

A complete re-evaluation of all known prospects and leads within EPP 21 was undertaken by the permittees in order to define any prospects worthy of drilling in permit Year 4, ending 28 June 1986, by which time a commitment to drill one well and...

Dataset contains Amdel - derived mineralogical and petrological data on the ore and host rocks, plus the mine operator's reports on its plans to resume and optimize production of the unique ore types known to exist in four current mine pits and their...
