Exploring the earth resources in the Harris Greenstone Belt (HGB) region is complicated by a regolith cover produced by a long and complex history of landscape evolution. The present surface of the HGB indicates little of the complex palaeochannel...

This report details newly acquired Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb isotopic data for three samples from two drill holes in the Fowler Domain of the western Gawler Craton. During the late 1980s,stratigraphic drilling done by the...

Portions of regional airborne radiometric and magnetic surveys, plus a small part of the HW-IV seismic refraction traverse, and 20 line km of gravity and ground magnetic surveys, were undertaken by joint venture operator Afmeco as part of its Project...

Following the partial relinquishment of 481 square km of EL 859 on 30/3/1983, exploration continued for stratiform Pb-Zn within the Carpentarian Tarcoola Beds within an east-west trending trough, or half-graben, seen on magnetics in the Wilgena Hill...

Reconnaissance, helicopter-borne geological mapping and rock chip geochemical sampling were carried out within the Yellabinna Regional Reserve, 70 km northeast of Penong. No anomalies were identified, but the area retains considerable Cu-Au...

Regional calcrete sampling carried out 100 km south-west of Tarcoola disclosed weak gold anomalism in the south-eastern portion of the licence, coincident in part with gravity and aeromagnetic features. Detailed follow-up sampling is warranted.

Calcrete sampling on 1 km and 200 m grid spacings was carried out during 1996 (266 samples) and 1997 (2050 samples) over areas underlain by rocks of the Mulgathing Complex, Hiltaba Suite, Gairdner Dyke Swarm and Gawler Range Volcanics, that surround...

The main focus of a recently begun gold exploration programme on the Tarcoola Goldfield has been the Tarcoola Blocks mine, where gold occurs in subvertical quartz reefs, up to 2 m wide, which cross-cut folded Mid-Proterozoic sandstone and carbonaceous...

EL 3089 licensee Stellar Resources Ltd was granted SA Government PACE Initiative Year 2 funding for a drillhole programme to test the source of the intense Coolybring magnetic anomaly situated 9 km north-east of Tarcoola, which is inferred to be a...

Field geological mapping of an 800 square mile area located immediately north-west of the Tarcoola Goldfield was carried out at a scale of approximately 1:84,480 (3/4 inch = 1 mile). A continuation of the regional geology from previously mapped areas...

During intervals within the period 5 November 2017 to 2 May 2018, all of the TARCOOLA 1:250k map sheet area, plus the northern half of the CHILDARA 1:250k map sheet area, were flown under contract to the SA Government and Geoscience Australia as part...

This report presents the results of a study jointly conducted by the Geological Survey of South Australia and CSIRO Mineral Resources which aimed to enhance the expression of geological structure in geophysical images and to derive depth to magnetic...

Geochronology enables us to determine the age of rocks and minerals. The variety of isotopic geochronological techniques give complementary information on, for example, the timing of igneous or metamorphic crystallisation, as is often the case for the...

This data package comprises all of the GIS-related technical elements of a preliminary basement solid geology interpretation, which has been undertaken by DSD for the purpose of updating a fundamental mineral exploration-guiding dataset applicable to...

This report presents the results of a study jointly conducted by the Geological Survey of South Australia and CSIRO Mineral Resources which aimed to enhance the expression of geological structure in geophysical images and to derive depth to magnetic...

Between 1901 and 1986, 2.387 tonnes of gold was produced. Potential for open cut mining of the Tarcoola Blocks Mine and nearby granite is being investigated. Gold occurs in both subvertical quartz reefs which cross cut folded Mid Proterozoic Tarcoola...

The Tarcoola Goldfield region is located in the central Gawler Craton, and forms the northern portion of the Central Gawler Gold Province. Gold deposits underlying the Tarcoola Ridge and adjacent areas have been exploited by in excess of 50 historic...

Regional surface calcrete geochemical sampling undertaken across an area 70-100 km south-west of Tarcoola disclosed weak gold anomalism coincident in part with gravity and aeromagnetic features. Detailed follow-up sampling is warranted, because of...
