During the first few months of 1985, field investigations were undertaken at Leigh Creek by consultants Golder Associates to provide quantitative data on the strength and permeability characteristics of the geological profile of the Main Series coal...

Monax Alliance's Margaret Dam Project is located on their EL 5347 Francis Creek, which is centred approximately 40 km south of William Creek in northern South Australia. The initial project work done for licence operator Monax Mining by geophysical...

The targets of exploration in the Mt Toodla area, situated 50 km south-east of Oodnadatta, were concealed deposits of Olympic Dam style Cu-Au-U-REE and Fe-oxide Cu-Au (IOCG) style mineralisation having less than 200 m thickness of cover. Work...

Detailed geological mapping carried out in the Luxemberg South - Bill's Hill area has elucidated the controls on known secondary coper mineralisation. It occurs in amphibolitized zones within tillite, often associated with quartz-filled shears,...

Secondary copper mineralisation at the Cutana copper mine appears to be limited to a length of about 30 feet at the surface, where historic workings have excavated a swell to 3 feet wide in a quartz-ironstone reef that otherwise narrows to 18 inches...

Investigation of the quartz - (sulphide) gossan vein systems within Proterozoic metasedimentary bedrock at the alluvial Teetulpa Goldfield north of Yunta, for stratigraphic and structural clues to loci of primary gold mineralisation elsewhere in the...

Exploration, initially for rare metal elements, was carried out in the vicinity of diapiric structures intruded by leucogranite in the area between Arkaroola Village and Umberatana Homestead. Work comprising petrography, rock chip sampling, stream...

Mulgathing Complex and Hiltaba Suite rocks were interpreted from aeromagnetic data obtained in areas located 10 km north of, 70 km south-east of, and 35 km south of Tarcoola. Calcrete sampling was followed by RAB drilling (178 holes, total 5047 m)...

Sheeted vein type gold, Telfer style gold, and BIF hosted gold and base metals were the targets of exploration carried out in Adelaidean sediments of the Anabama - Radium Hill area. Work included an interpretation of aeromagnetic survey data, auger...

The targets of exploration in the Mt Toodla area, located 50 km south-east of Oodnadatta, were Olympic Dam style Cu-Au-U-REE and Candelaria style Fe-oxide Cu-Au mineralisation in Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic metamorphic basement with less...

A prominent (> 7000 nT), multi-featured, and also geomorphically expressed aeromagnetic anomaly of undoubted prime exploration potential was discovered within the Yumbarra Conservation Park as a result of detailed low level aeromagnetic surveys...

Possible extensions to historic workings for lead, gold and copper in the Pinda Springs area, 55 km south-east from Copley, were tested by a limited programme of rock chip sampling and panning of creek sediments. Mineralised veins with visible galena...

Gold and base metal mineralisation hosted by Neoproterozoic sediments of the Adelaide Geosyncline were the targets of exploration in areas located immediately west and south of Marree. A review of available data and limited field reconnaissance and...

A study of regional aeromagnetic data has concluded that strong, untested basement anomalism is continuous along a trend leading west-southwest offshore from the rich Moonta - Wallaroo mining district. Three promising targets in Spencer Gulf, located...

The applicant proposes during the two year SML period to undertake a work and study programme to determine the economic feasibility of developing a seawater salt recovery complex on the areas applied for, which will be capable upon completion of the...

Interest in an area near Mount Christie Siding was stimulated by the 1993 MESA Barton Bedrock Drilling Programme, which detected anomalous gold, chromium, base metals and platinoid metals in subsurface layered ultramafics. A number of targets...

A research project to determine the leaching behaviour of oxidised copper ores at laboratory scale was undertaken by Amdel at the request of the South Australian Department of Mines. The trials took place using sulphuric acid lixiviant acting on the...

A detailed examination of mineralised rock sequences within the metamorphosed Precambrian basement and Adelaidean cover rocks of the Weekeroo area, and recording of their relationship to successive deformational events and resulting rock structures,...

Assays of tailings heaps at the Prince Alfred Mine, located 40 km north-east of Carrieton, returned 1-1.5% Cu. Up to 12.7 % Cu was recorded from rock sampling, and elevated Au and anomalous Cu were recorded in calcrete samples. Four areas of...
