The Spalding Inlier is a complex overturned anticlinal structure, in the core of which Willouran beds are exposed. It is near the intersection of two lines of anticlinal culminations in the region, folded during the lower Proterozoic orogeny. The...

Geochemical soil sampling in the Yudnamutana area, between the smelters site and the Cockscomb mine, has outlined two distinct copper anomalies. One anomaly lies within the boundary of the Wywyana Formation, while the other lies along the contact...

In company with Mr P. McPaul of the Electrolytic Zinc Co., an inspection was undertaken on January 18th, 1968 to advise on the provision of a water supply to the Puttapa zinc prospect, where exploration of a zinc-lead deposit is being conducted by EZ....

A total of 380 stream sediment samples and 40 heavy mineral samples were collected from Giles Complex norites in the Musgrave Ranges and the -80 mesh fraction tested for copper, lead, zinc, cobalt, nickel, chromium, vanadium, manganese, titanium,...

The pedological environment of the Burra area is described, the methods of soil sampling and sample penetration are given in detail and an outline of the spectrographic analytical procedure is given. Attempts at applying statistical methods to the...

On February 2nd, 1967 it was reported in the press that vanadium deposits "tentatively estimated at 100 million tons, have been found near the remote Jameson Range, 520 miles northeast of Kalgoorlie". The deposits were located by geologists of the...

The multi-licence Mithril - Barrick JV Musgrave Project area is centred 600 km south-west of Alice Springs, within the APY Lands of north-western South Australia. It is considered to be prospective for buried economic Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide mineral...

An area centred approximately 130 km north-northwest of Kimba has been explored for possible economic primary uranium mineralisation, where the principal target is the igneous rock succession of Mesoproterozoic Gawler Range Volcanics (GRV) and...

A regional geological interpretation of newly-acquired magnetic data for the majority of the Musgrave Block (central Australia) has been compiled at 1:250 000 scale. This report outlines the methodology and results of interpretation. Highlights of...

Drilled 12 holes aggregating 2240 feet.

Exploration reconnaissance work has been carried out over many old copper mines and prospects situated within a 172 square mile area located south of the town of Burra [the impetus being that recently the South Australian Department of Mines had...

Ongoing exploration of abandoned historic mine workings and the surrounding area at the Mountain of Light prospect, located approximately 2 miles east of Copley, was aimed at delineating an economic copper oxide/carbonate - mineralised orebody and any...

Dataset comprises a set of un-related reports on drilling and surface investigations made by various interested companies at the historic Mountain of Light prospect in the early 1970s, at the invitation of the private syndicate holding the mineral...

Exploration for possible hydrothermal/stratabound replacement-type base metal deposits in an area located 28 miles north-east of Hawker, adjacent to the northern margin of the Worumba Diapir, has consisted of photogeological mapping of structures...

Two separate orientation geochemical sampling programmes have been undertaken during 1969 over BHP's Special Mining Lease areas near Whyalla. In the Pandurra Station area, shallow residual soils over known mineralised Carpentarian bedrock were...

Uranium exploration, undertaken over a small area of poorly outcropping to shallowly subcropping amphibolite facies metamorphosed Early Precambrian basement located near Toweroo Bore, 35 km north-northwest of Crocker Well, has comprised 144 line km of...
