Four areas on the south-western margin of the Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic Willyama Inliers were mapped in detail to elucidate the nature of their lithostratigraphy, structure and mineralisation. These basement inliers are composed of...

Identification of a fibrous mineral, two samples of which were retrieved from a small open pit at abandoned mine workings located 2.5 km west of Rowland Flat in the Barossa Valley, on the bank of the North Para River, was made using X-ray diffraction...

The PORT AUGUSTA 1:250,000 mapsheet area covers the north-eastern part of the Eyre Peninsula, the northern Spencer Gulf and the south-western Flinders Ranges, and extends from latitude 32°00'S to 33°00'S and longitude 136°30'S to 138°00'S. The main...

In May 2004 the Minister for the Department of Environment and Heritage purchased Bimbowrie Station pastoral lease. The station was purchased because it encompasses part of the Olary Ranges, which is part of the environmentally important Broken Hill...

A field mapping project was set up by PIRSA to investigate the age, origin and emplacement history of newly discovered [by Goldstream Mining NL on EL 2222] volcanic rocks within the Mount Grainger Anticline, close to the town of Oodla Wirra. Outcrop...

The rolling hills, wheat paddocks and vineyards of the Mid-North region of South Australia conceal a geological transition between the Adelaide Hills and the Flinders Ranges. Here the landscape is subtly controlled by the Neoproterozoic bedrock...

Exploration for possible economic Zambian Copperbelt - type stratabound copper deposits which may have formed within the northern Willouran Ranges has consisted of the acquisition of 1:25,000 scale aerial photographs, the conduct of limited regional...

The WINTINNA 1:250 000 mapsheet area lies between latitudes 27° to 28° South and longitudes 133°30’ to 135°00’ East. This ~16 400 square km area includes the Marla and Cadney Park settlements, and is crossed by the Stuart Highway and Adelaide to...

The MARREE mapsheet area includes the south-western portion of the Strzelecki Desert plus parts of the Tirari Desert, north-western Flinders Ranges and north-eastern Willouran Ranges, between latitudes 29 to 30 degrees S and longitudes 138 to 139...

Continuing exploration for possible buried Mount Gunson and Olympic Dam type copper deposits, or other stratabound base metal occurrences within shelfal facies of Adelaidean sediments or in the pre-Adelaidean Wandearah Formation Carpentarian age...

Percussion drilling (17 inclined or vertical holes totalling 1287 m) and resistivity surveys were undertaken by Seltrust Mining over an area lying immediately to the north-northwest of Burra, in a search for possible structurally controlled copper...

As part of a search for gold and base metal deposits associated with possible igneous intrusions into Adelaidean sediments of the Crystal Brook region, a gravity survey and a re-examination of previous rock sample assays were carried out, which...

The presence of historic hard rock and alluvial goldfields in the Waukaringa - Lovely's Gully area, 35 km north of Yunta, prompted acquisition of the licence to explore the gold and other metal potential of surficial and deeper, altered cover...

It was concluded from mapping, sampling and a review of previous work that areas in the vicinity of the Prince Alfred Mine, 30 km east of Cradock, were of low potential for significant copper mineralisation within the Tapley Hill Formation.

Exploration for gold and base metals in the Willouran Ranges, conducted over an area located approximately 26 km south-west of Marree, was aimed at evaluating known quartz-limonite vein stockwork - type gold mineralisation on four prospects, plus...

Exploration reconnaissance work has been carried out over many old copper mines and prospects situated within a 172 square mile area located south of the town of Burra [the impetus being that recently the South Australian Department of Mines had...

Reconnaissance geological mapping and limited surface geochemical sampling of exposed, thrust faulted quartz-carbonate veins evident in the Adelaidean cover sequence to the western Olary Domain Palaeoproterozoic basement did not generate any gold or...

This paper synthesizes the findings of Frontier's exploratory efforts over the past three years, and makes recommendations for an ongoing exploration programme following and consequent to the economically unsuccessful outcome of drilling Blinman nos 1...

Regional calcrete geochemical sampling was carried out in the Mutooroo - Anabama area in a search for precious and base metals. Initial surface calcrete sampling at several prospects was followed by auger drill sampling to depths up to 2 m on an...

An airborne magnetic/radiometric survey to infill recent SAEI regional survey coverage was carried out within the G2 structural corridor, south-east of Port Pirie. Six bullseye magnetic highs, consistent with kimberlite emplacement, and one having...
