After the signing of a new joint venture agreement for the three Yarramba Project tenements (EL 1004 South Eagle, EL 1352 Strathearn and the subject EL 1060 Mulyungarie) in early 1986, the CSR-led partners began exploration for possible Olympic Dam -...

Work completed on the now relinquished area of 101 square km extent in the south-eastern part of the tenement has comprised 1:25,000 geological mapping, ground scintillometric traversing and sampling for petrographic studies. The poorly outcropping...

In a search for possible economic epithermal / stratiform / metamorphic base metals and gold within the Weekeroo Inlier, detailed geological mapping, rock chip sampling and an office evaluation of previous exploration were carried out for the Weekeroo...

After its initial stream sediment sampling and rock chip sampling had revealed that significant base metal anomalism (Mo to 600 ppm and Cu to 300 ppm) exists on and near granitic rock outcrops at Anabama Hill, Asarco undertook detailed 1:1200 scale...

The purpose of this interpretation is to provide an initial framework for the basement to the Murray Basin upon which to plan the Geological Survey of South Australia’s MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative drilling project targeting the Delamerian...

The Mount Painter and Mount Babbage Inliers, located in the north-eastern Flinders Ranges, consist predominantly of Palaeoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic metasediments and granites, and Neoproterozoic to Cambrian sediments of the Adelaide Geosyncline....

The petrology of a uranium-bearing adamellite body at Crocker Well in the Olary Province is described. The study of the adamellite has been carried out to investigate whether significant mineralogical or chemical trends are associated with the...

The Curnamona Province basement 3D Geological Model is a product of PIRSA's early 3D modelling trials conducted using 3D GeoModeller software. The work began with identifying the statigraphic units that were to be modelled. Due to the regional scale...

The deepest yet completed, diamond-cored base metal exploration hole in South Australia (DDH MM14 : total depth 5312 feet = 1619.1 m) was drilled on a moderately dipping trajectory at the historic Mutooroo mines, as part of copper exploration being...

76 bedrock outcrop samples collected along ground traverses made in the Weekeroo Hills were analysed for fluorine, and another 4 samples were analysed for a limited range of trace metal and rare earth elements. No assay values of significance were...

Exploration for stratiform/stratabound Broken Hill - type Pb-Zn mineralisation which may have formed in Palaeoproterozoic metasediments of the Mutooroo area, 70 km SW of Broken Hill, comprised stream sediment sampling, IP surveys, and aircore and RAB...

Possible Ernest Henry - style IOCG mineral deposits formed in Palaeoproterozoic basement metasediments and intrusive rocks buried under thick cover were the targets of exploration carried out on three irregular tenement areas spread across the region...

Ongoing exploratory RAB bedrock drilling of 302 shallow holes totalling 1919 m, over an area located approximately 40 km south-east of Olary, has shown that the Pegline Dam prospect is not base metal mineralised, and that the source of an IP anomaly...

The PACE Initiative - funded drilling project reported on here covers the first phase of a larger programme intended to be carried out on EL 2740. Havilah Resources completed this initial aircore and reverse circulation drilling campaign, of 7 holes...

Limited PNC investigations targeting possible economic primary uranium deposits in the Kalabity area, 60 km north of Olary, included reprocessing of gravity data, 1:25,000 scale geological mapping, rock chip sampling for geochemical and petrographic...

Exploration was undertaken north north-east of Olary for possible near-surface gold associated with Early Proterozoic quartz - magnetite - pyrite lode horizons, and with Adelaidean fluvial tillites and siltstones of the Umberatana Group. It included...

Exploration for Cloncurry and Broken Hill-style Cu-Au and Zn deposits in the Ameroo Hill-McDonald Hill area, north-west of Olary, comprised the acquisition of ground magnetic surveys, detailed geological mapping and the resultant interpretation of...

Exploration of an area of shallowly covered Curnamona Province metalliferous basement rocks abutting the South Australia / New South Wales border, approximately 80 km north-east of Olary, has addressed good potential for discovering a range of base...

In a search for possible buried economic Olympic Dam style base metal mineralisation across the area situated between Killawarra and Kalkaroo stations, the licensee carried out prospect gridding, 1:10,000 scale geological mapping, rock chip sampling,...
