Continuing evaluation of the remaining copper mineralisation potential of mining claims and surrounding areas at the historic Mountain-of-Light copper mine prospect has consisted of geological mapping and some random geochemical sampling, plus the...

Isolated old workings evidence the presence of small pockets of both galena and polysphaerite (lead phosphate) developed along a strong N-S trending fault zone, which radiates from a small circular diapir lying to the north of the Blinman Diapir. A...

The Cultana basement 3D Geological Model covers a region which includes the Roopena, and western half of the Cultana, 1:100,000 mapsheet areas. The subsurface geology that has been modelled comprises a succession of deformed Palaeoproterozoic...

Exploration for Telfer-type gold-copper targets in the Manna Hill - Waukaringa region, located 300 km north-east of Adelaide, comprised making a detailed interpretation of 400 m flight line spaced 1995 SAEI aeromagnetic survey data, plus a review of...

Exploration for possible economic stratabound gold in the basal Tarcowie Siltstone that was conducted within the Paratoo Anticline east of Yunta comprised geochemical sampling (70 stream sediment samples, plus 25 rock chip samples). Anomalous copper,...

At the historic Bird-In-Hand mining claim, where previous mine exploration drilling beneath the old workings by current licence operator Maximus Resources had delineated an inferred remaining gold resource of 53,000 ounces over the depth extent from...

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 primary exploration target in an area located about 20 km south of Olary is the stratigraphic contact between the Late Proterozoic Tapley Hill Formation and the Tarcowie Siltstone, selected for its potential to host stratabound, Telfer - type...

In a search for possible stratiform hydrothermal gold deposits in a stratigraphic/structural setting similar to those of economic gold occurrences at the Mount Grainger Goldfield and on the Paratoo Dome, 45 rock chip samples were collected from...

Anomalous gold values in the range 10-130 ppb were detected in soil samples at the Eukaby mining field, from a set of 1 km spaced geochemical traverses sampled at 50 metre intervals over 24 line km. Follow-up geochemical work to pinpoint sites of...

In a search for possible concealed Olympic Dam type deposits in an area of the Adelaide Geosyncline which straddles part of the south-western margin of the Curnamona Province, two geophysical (gravity/magnetic) targets identified at Bibliando Dome and...

After the conduct of initial 1:100k scale geological mapping and rock chip grab sampling (21 samples), stream sediment sampling performed at 110 sites as part of a search for Telfer - style gold within rocks of the Umberatana Group was not...

Exploration for base metal mineralisation near Anabama Hill, 40 km south-east of Manna Hill, comprised rock chip sampling and RAB/RC drilling (58 holes, total 1847 m). Anomalous copper (to 0.19% Cu) and zinc were intersected in hydrothermally altered...

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....

3000 cubic m of potentially gold-bearing alluvial sediments from the bed of Wonna Creek, located 25 km north-east of Hallett, were screened at 6 mm. Two bulk samples of the minus 6 mm sediment size fraction, representing depth intervals from surface...

The history of previous gold mining and exploration at Mongolata, and of copper exploration in the greater Burra area, was briefly reviewed. A field reconnaissance and the assaying of 14 rock chip samples collected in the Mongolata area gave...

In a search for possible diamonds and their kimberlite hosts that was undertaken within a large area centred ~60 km east of Peterborough, a preliminary literature review and photo-lineament analysis was conducted, next leading to field reconnaissance...

Possible intrusive Proterozoic salt bodies beneath the Blinman, Upalinna, Martins Well, Mt Hemming, Willippa and Bibliando Domes were investigated by field mapping, including the construction of measured outcrop stratigraphic sections, seismic...

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...
