An area centred approximately 50 km south of Woomera, near the Oakden Hills, is being explored for three separate types of mineralisation: • stratiform copper mineralisation similar to that of the world-class Central African Copper Belt and White Pine...

Plans only - 1:100k scale. These are copies of large map transparencies forming part of the 1988 SADME - compiled Moonta/Wallaroo Exploration Data Package that was advertised in Mineral Industry Quarterly No. 51.

A small area centred ~18 km west-northwest of Burra has been explored for possible buried primary porphyry type copper-gold mineralisation, and also for small scale secondary copper carbonate deposits of Burra style. Reprocessing of existing...

As part of a renewed search for possible buried economic volcanogenic or epigenetic stratiform copper oxide or copper carbonate deposits, thought to be associated with poorly exposed fault structures and related hydrothermal alteration of Adelaidean...

A north-south elongated, narrow licence area centred ~30 km north of Whyalla and covering ground inland adjacent to the Lincoln Highway, has been taken up to explore for possible economic buried stratiform/stratabound, Mississippi Valley type...

This report covers the first annual report for EL 4012 before joint annual reporting commenced early 2009 [See separately indexed report ENV12049 CNO:2039184]. The exploration licence 4012 area is located ~ 40 km north-east of Leigh Creek township,...

The northern quarter of a small licence area centred approximately 20 km south-east of Port Augusta has been relinquished due to its perceived diminished prospectivity for structurally controlled epigenetic copper mineralisation related to the Mount...

EL 3972 Apoinga is located within the northern Mount Lofty Ranges, where bedrock comprises Proterozoic rocks of the Adelaide Fold Belt. The main prospect area within EL 3972 is the Tarnma Anticline, a N-S trending fold which is cored by Skillogalee...

A programme of bedrock diamond drilling has been completed by the SA Department of Mines at the locations of the proposed storage dam abutments and foundation at Lower Dam Site no. 2 on the Myponga River. The logs of the drill cores are presented, and...

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...

Sandstone as a building material was used extensively in Adelaide and regional South Australia from the founding of the colony until the end of World War II. However, since 1945 the industry has declined steadily, with closure of many quarries, until...

The Six Mile Hill 1:75 000 Map Sheet was produced as part of a mapping program integrated into the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) along the southern margin of the Gawler Ranges. The objective of the mapping program was to provide a regional...

The revised digital geology map of the Cultana 1:100 000 map sheet and accompanying geological descriptions in this report are the first components of the 2nd edition PORT AUGUSTA 1:250 000 map sheet to be completed. The subject map sheet occupies the...

A large part of the subject licence area in the Woomera region, that has been explored over several years for possible basement-hosted Olympic Dam style base and precious metal deposits, has been relinquished, mainly in places where the depth to the...

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 Carrapateena mineral discovery was the outcome of a PACE Initiative drilling project co-funded by RMG Services Pty Ltd and the Government of South Australia. Two holes were drilled, the second of which (CAR002) encountered a major body of...

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...

Concerted exploration for possible stratiform Mount Gunson type or epithermal Olympic Dam type base metal deposits, on the south-eastern edge of the Stuart Shelf near Port Pirie, was begun by North Broken Hill Ltd in response to the public release by...

In the latter stages of its search for possible economic base and precious metal deposits in the Bute area, North Broken Hill targeted the concealed pre-Adelaidean basement rocks for Mount Gunson or ?Olympic Dam type hydrothermal ores, and for Mount...
