Ongoing copper/uranium exploration of basement and Willouran cover southwest of Moolawatana comprised ground magnetic, IP, EM and TEM surveys, airborne EM (Turair) and magnetic surveys, prospect-scale geochemical surveys and limited diamond drilling...

Adelaidean strata in the Mount Painter-Arkaroola area were investigated for stratiform copper, initially by North Flinders Mines and later in a joint venture with Western Mining Corp. Following a study of previous exploration data in the region, a...

Exploration for possible stratiform massive base metal sulphide deposits in the area of the historic Yudnamutana Mining Field, located 12 km north-west of Mount Painter, was designed to follow up promising copper geochemical anomalies and related...

Geochemical and geophysical surveys of the Blue mine - Wheal Turner area, plus semi-detailed geological and structural mapping in the Wild Dog Creek area, identified the Wortupa Quartzite and surrounding strata as the main hosts of low grade secondary...

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...

Exploration for Proterozoic sedimentary-hosted mineral and energy resources can greatly benefit from geochronological methods that date the depositional age of sedimentary rocks that predate the Early Cambrian evolution of biomineralizing organisms....

Exploration for possible economic stratabound copper mineralisation, carried out by Shell Minerals Exploration (Australia) over part of SML 575/703 near Arkaroola in the northern Flinders Ranges under an informal joint venture agreement with the...

Base metal and gold exploration undertaken over a lengthy period since 1980 in the Yudnamutana Hill area, 20 km north-west of Arkaroola, has comprised detailed geological mapping of major basement and cover stratigraphic units and known mineral...

Quasar Resources in joint venture with Alliance Resources has recently completed its stage 1 drilling programme at the high priority M2 iron oxide - associated copper-gold prospect within its Exploration Licence 2874, completing 9 drillholes targeting...

No diamonds or kimberlite indicator minerals were found in loam and subsurface samples collected from an area of strongly fractured volcanic rocks in the north-eastern Flinders Ranges, abutting the Lake Frome Plains south-east of Arkaroola. The basalt...

TARGET: Disseminated low grade, large tonnage deposits of copper, lead and zinc mineralisation formed in Adelaidean metasediments overlying Mesoproterozoic igneous rocks. EXPLORATION: 1:12,000 and 1:4,800 scale geological mapping, rock chip, soil and...

Reconnaissance visits were made to six mineralised localities and nearby areas within the Wooltana Volcanics outcrop zone, to try to ascertain if features related to volcanogenic massive sulphide (VHMS) ore deposits were present in the rocks. None of...

Four Mineral Claims of 40 acres each were taken out by Kennecott in October 1967 to allow investigation of a major fault breccia and fracture zone in Proterozoic rocks in the Yudnamutana area of the northern Flinders Ranges. The intention was to test...

An area of several square miles surrounding Arkarooola Homestead has been explored for possible economic copper occurences, which could include deeper lode extensions at several abandoned mines. Aerial reconnaissance and ground prospecting traverses...

The journey from Arkaroola Village to the Paralana Hot Springs presents the opportunity to view some amazing landscapes and associated geological aspects that the Arkaroola Pastoral Station has to offer, and the opportunity is open to the general...
