Mapping of the Winnininnie 1:63,360 mapsheet has been undertaken as part of a programme to complete mapping of the Olary 1:250,000 Sheet. The area lies about 200 miles from Adelaide on the road and railway line to Broken Hill, and includes the...

This investigation was a feasibility study, therefore environmental factors are dealt with in much more detail than would be necessary in a routine geochemical report. Apparently these factors has little significant effect on the results. Spot...

Possible ballast sites in the area have been defined by stratigraphic and structural means. Field examination of six arenaceous units in the sequence showed that only one will provide suitable railway ballast.

A programme of stratigraphic section measurement is envisaged in order to facilitate rock correlation and help outline the pattern of sedimentation in the Adelaide Geosyncline. In many areas measurement may be made on air photo enlargement, as has...

Unworked mine reveals copper of limited extent laterally occurring as minor narrow veins and impregnations of malachite and azurite in interbedded quartzite and pebbly siltstone. Copper carbonates may have formed from sparsely dispersed sulphides in...

Includes an outline of the Adelaidean stratigraphy, and the underlying igneous and metamorphic rock types, and brief, mainly historical review of the economic geology.

Stream sediment sampling, induced polarization surveys and a 44 drill hole rotary drilling program were undertaken over the Anabama Granite. The granite was found to be unmineralized except for greisened portions containing anomalous copper and...

The main source of historical gold production at Mount Grainger has been a zone of hydrothermal wall rock alteration in the lower part of the Appila Tillite. This zone of alteration or sericitization, where a stable illite/mica mineral formed, has...

The Pualco Range is 45km south-south east of Yunta, South Australia, and contains 3300m of a formation (?Appila Tillite, Precambrian, Adelaidean) characterised by massive tillite with quartzite beds. This forms the base of the Umberatana Group and...

The Pualco Range is 45km south-south east of Yunta, South Australia, and contains the type section of the Precambrian Pualco Tillite, 3300m thick, characterised by massive tillite with quartzite beds. This forms the base of the Adelaidean Umberatana...

During licence Year 11 (2012-2013), David Miller rehabilitated his three drillsites that had been used in April 2011, delivered representative drill samples from his six holes to the DMITRE Drill Core Library, and further considered the logistics of...

Exploration for possible economic buried stratabound Telfer - style gold mineralisation or placer gold deposits which could have formed in Adelaidean glacial sediments in the Nackara district, as well as for base metal and/or diamond mineralisation,...

An area of high country in the far northern Mount Lofty Ranges was taken under licence to try to find the primary source(s) of widely dispersed detrital gold known from Recent and Tertiary cover sediments in the region, while focussing mainly on...

An area centred ~15 km east of Eudunda, in the north-eastern Mount Lofty Ranges, has been explored initially for possible economic outcropping stratabound/replacement style phosphate mineralisation that may have formed within Adelaidean dolomitic...

A small area centred approximately 70 km north of Orroroo is being explored for possible buried economic Neoproterozoic stratiform or stratabound epithermal/hydrothermal copper and gold deposits, and for placer gold or magnetite deposits, as well as...

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...

An area located on the edge of the ranges north-east of Burra, and 20 km east of Whyte Yarcowie, is being explored for possible primary orogenic gold associated with a prominent fold flexure in Adelaidean metasediments that is exposed in the Wonna...

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...
