Calc-silicate contact metamorphic aureoles within moderately deformed Adelaidean carbonate sedimentary rocks, which surround Ordovician granitic intrusions in the Needles area of the northern Flinders Ranges, were investigated for epigenetic gold,...

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...

The CALLABONNA map area includes the southern end of the Strzelecki Desert and the north- eastern Flinders Ranges, between latitudes 29° to 30° S and longitudes 139° 30' to 141° E. Cameron Corner adjoins New South Wales and Queensland in the...

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...

The potential for economic stratiform copper deposits hosted within the clastic lower inter-glacial sequence of the Umberatana Group Neoproterozoic sedimentary succession was explored over an area situated immediately east and south-east of Leigh...

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.

Base and precious metal exploration near Pinda Springs mine in the north-central Flinders Ranges, 50 km south-east of Copley, initially comprised geological mapping and rock chip sampling. Several vein samples returned values up to 1.2 kg/t Ag, 10.5%...

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...

Areas near the Prince Alfred mine, located approximately 70 km north of Orroroo, were relinquished on the basis of them having either a non-prospective mineral association or too low values of trace metal geochemistry. Anomalous copper and traces of...

Regional calcrete sampling in an area of the south-eastern Flinders Ranges, 110 km north-east of Peterborough, was hindered by transported colluvium. However, several low order BLEG gold anomalies and one robust BLEG-1C silver anomaly were identified...

Exploration in an area around the historic Prince Alfred mine consisted mainly of detailed geological mapping and compilation of data derived from comprehensive literature searches, together with processing and interpretation of available geophysical...

A 79 m deep RC drillhole sited on an aeromagnetic and calcrete geochemical anomaly located south of Bute returned anomalous zinc from Cambrian limestone over the depth interval 14-26 m (the best grade being 1 m @ 1802 ppm from 16 m depth). No...

Numerous base metal occurrences and historic mines occur in the Mt Lyndhurst area, hosted mainly in Neoproterozoic rocks of the Adelaide Geosyncline. Investigations at several prospects have included detailed mapping plus soil and rock chip sampling....

Re- sampling of mining spoil heaps at the Willowie cobalt prospect, 7 km north of Melrose, repeated Co/Cu/Zn values obtained by previous explorer's assays in the mid-1990s, but failed to provide an incentive for attracting a new joint venturer to fund...

Gold and base metal exploration conducted near the SA Lower North township of Bute, 140 km north-west of Adelaide, comprised the conduct of IP and ground magnetic surveys and RC drilling (4 holes, total 350 m). Two holes drilled on magnetic anomaly...
