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...

In a search for possible economic base and precious metal mineralisation associated with historic mines located on shear zones in Adelaidean strata, exploration comprising rock chip, soil and stream sediment sampling in the Montacute - Forest Range...

Evaluation of the subsurface potential of the abandoned Dalkey mine copper workings at Radium Hill was carried out through surface investigations, IP surveying and percussion and diamond drilling (2162 feet, including 989 feet of wireline coring) of...

Following a literature review of the mode of occurrence, field relationships, matrix mineralogy and geochemistry of Terowie - type kimberlite intrusions, the lease operator undertook large scale costeaning and bulk sampling of four kimberlites in that...

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 review of previous exploration indicated prospectivity for secondary Cu mineralisation near old workings in the Willouran Hill area, approximately 20 km south-west of Marree. A more systematic evaluation of anomalous Au was also considered to be...

Exploration carried out over the northern Peake and Denison Ranges since 1993 has targeted possible large-scale Proterozoic iron oxide associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposits considered to have formed in stratigraphic/structural settings similar to...

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....

70 line km of gravity traverses were undertaken over potential shallow Triassic coal basins preserved by downwarping in the Lyndhurst area, prior to rotary mud and air drilling of gravity lows (15 holes, total 1,112.85 m, including 7.35 m of coring,...

No targets were developed from interpretation of existing aeromagnetic data over an area centred around the township of Burra. 73.15% of the original area of the subject licence has now been relinquished.

1:40,000 scale geological mapping and soil geochemical sampling performed in the vicinity of the Paratoo copper mine, 300 km north-east of Adelaide, demonstrated both structural and lithological controls to known mineralisation. Stored historic...

Data review only - no new work.

An aeromagnetic / radiometric survey was carried out within the G2 structural corridor, south-east of Port Pirie, as part of a search for possible Moonta, Olympic Dam or Ernest Henry type gold - copper mineralisation, and for any diamond-bearing...

24 diamond drill core samples of primary copper ore from the Ukaparinga mine, which is located about 4 km south of Williamstown, plus 3 hand specimen samples of oxidised ore taken from a near surface adit of this mine, have been investigated by...

Exploration within an area of outcropping Adelaidean sediments located 80 km north-east of Hawker targeted possible stratiform copper-gold mineralisation in dolomitic sediments, as at Martins Well and Willippa Dome, and cobalt-nickel(-copper)...

This licence was secured because of the widespread indications of gold mineralisation in Adelaidean bedrock, coupled with a need to test new geological interpretations arising from recent mapping and SAEI geophysical data. Work included the...

Exploration for Beltana - type stratabound, hydrothermal related base metal deposits in an area situated south-west of Copley consisted of regional, ground and helicopter-assisted geological mapping at 1:4800 scale, photointerpretation of structural...

Exploration over part of the Nackara Arc region, within two now relinquished licence sub-areas located respectively 15 km north of Oodla Wirra and 10-20 km south and south-east of Paratoo, has sought economic Telfer-type stratabound gold deposits...

Ongoing base metal exploration to look for further analogues to the Beltana willemite discovery, carried out over an area located east of the Puttapa Rail Siding, has consisted of semi-detailed 1:4800 scale geological mapping and geochemical stream...

A strong radiometric anomaly, previously found in pre-Adelaidean basement schist near its contact with Adelaidean Woolshed Flat Shale metasediments at the Pine Ridge prospect, and situated within the Mount Crawford State Forest approximately 7 km...
