Exploration for ironstone - hosted Cu-Au associated with aeromagnetic anomalies in the Tooligie area, 100 km north of Port Lincoln, comprised ground magnetic and TEM surveys plus RC drilling (2 holes, total 104 m). Anomalous zinc, lead and copper...

Several potential diatreme-like circular targets up to 1 km in diameter were identified from an interpretation of regional and subsequently acquired infill aeromagnetic data over an area of the north-western Gawler Craton, 55 km south of Ooldea Siding...

A discrete gravity low centred on Hiles Lagoon, which is a quite unusual topographic feature located 30 km east of Jamestown, that exists within a district where several kimberlite intrusions are known, was the target of resumed diamond exploration....

Adelaide Resources made application for PACE Initiative Year 4 funding in 2006 (Project DPY4-33) to drill for possible primary uranium mineralisation, following the identification of a spectral anomaly that arose from the reprocessing of radiometric...

Exploration for Tertiary or Mesozoic sedimentary uranium deposits analogous to those ocurring just to the north at Beverley was undertaken over an area north and east of Wertaloona Homestead. Work comprised groundwater analyses and aerial...

As part of a MESA-led reappraisal of the source rock potential of the Eringa Trough, Pedirka Basin, this study was commissioned to carry out an organic geochemical and petrographic investigation of coals and carbonaceous sediments from the margins of...

Scout drilling of gravity low anomalies in the eastern half of the buried Permian Wallira Trough (11 rotary mud holes totalling 1135 m), in a search for possible economic Upper Permian coal seams which might extend westward from those discovered in...

Leucogranitic plugs within basement in the south-western part of the Mount Painter Complex were investigated as potential hosts for primary niobium - tantalum, beryllium, titanium and yttrium mineralisation. Aerial magnetic and radiometric surveys...

Recent company reconnaissance studies have shown the presence of anomalously high Ta and Nb in sodic granites in the Mount Painter area. Herein a preliminary account is given of the field relationships, petrology, geochemistry, mineral chemistry and...

Exploration of a thick sequence of Middle Proterozoic sediments and volcanics deposited within the Moonabie Graben, and regarded as similar in age and tectonic setting to that seen at Olympic Dam, has comprised aerial magnetic, radiometric and INPUT...

In a search for possible buried Palaeoproterozoic unconformity - related sedimentary uranium deposits over an area east of the Darke Range, an ongoing programme of exploratory work has included geological mapping at 1:25,000 scale, analysis of 205...

Several potential buried diatreme targets, plus regional basement potential for northeast-trending Proterozoic Cu-Au and Ni-Cu mineralisation, were identified within the Nullarbor Regional Reserve and Yalata Aboriginal Lands on western Eyre Peninsula....

Exploration for trona and base metals was centred on the Marla region. Work included regional gravity and magnetic studies, acquisition of airborne magnetic and multi-channel radiometric data, with follow-up ground magnetic and gravity surveys,...

Exploration for possible Olympic Dam - type base metals was undertaken in an area located 105 km south-east of Yunta, based on the recognition of steep magnetic gradient anomalies juxtaposed with a regionally significant linear crustal structure....

TARGET: Sedimentary uranium deposits within Lower Tertiary carbonaceous and pyritic quartzose and feldspathic sands which are all probably derived from Lower Proterozoic metasediments of the Flinders and Hutchison Groups, a suite of rocks which in the...

Following on from the conduct of both preliminary airborne and carborne radiometric surveys in an area 60 miles north of Penong, which disclosed numerous anomalies with potential for finding uranium occurrences, the locality was taken up and...

Greenfields uranium exploration of Mesozoic and Cainozoic sediments was carried out over an interpreted synclinal feature on Murnpeowie Station, in an area located between the Mount Babbage Block and the Willouran Ranges. The target was possible...

Ground scintillometer work carried out by BHP over its SMLs in the Middleback Range area has been shown not to be an effective reconnaissance tool for finding uranium anomalies, but it does have demonstrated value for identifying sources of...

Exploration for possible sedimentary uranium deposits formed within the Cainozoic basin located south-west of the Darke Range on central Eyre Peninsula has entailed reconnaissance groundwater sampling, acquisition of part of a regional aerial...

Uranium exploration, undertaken over a small area of poorly outcropping to shallowly subcropping amphibolite facies metamorphosed Early Precambrian basement located near Toweroo Bore, 35 km north-northwest of Crocker Well, has comprised 144 line km of...
