Work said to have been completed during the 2011 reporting period included an inspection and limited sampling of retained historic Utah drill cores from the Copper Claim area, checking of the preliminary resource estimates made by Utah from its drill...

A group of five contiguous licences originally covering a total area of 756 square km in the south-central Flinders Ranges region, situated east-northeast of Hawker and east of the Elder Range, have been explored for possible economic buried...

A small area centred ~30 km west of Olary has been explored for possible economic buried primary stratiform base metal sulphide mineralisation, vein barite mineralisation and also for epithermal copper-gold deposits that may have formed in...

An area centred ~80 km east-northeast of Hawker, in the vicinity of the Martins Well Diapir, has been explored for possible economic buried epigenetic occurrences within Adelaidean metasediments of gold, silver, cobalt, copper and manganese...

The subject licence was taken up to allow for for technical and commercial evaluation of the coal resource existing at Sedan on the western margin of the Murray Basin. During licence Year 1, consultant Lindsay Curtis was engaged to compile and report...

An intensely faulted and folded metasedimentary area centred ~50 km east-northeast of Blinman, where extensive hydrothermal alteration is evident in the Neoproterozoic bedrock, and where considerable past small-scale surface mining activity has...

Exploration for possible buried vein style copper-gold mineralisation, that may have formed in contact metamorphosed hornfelsic rocks adjacent to an inferred buried Delamerian or younger mafic intrusive body, has been conducted in a preliminary...

Surface geochemical sampling and inspections of known historic old copper workings in the vicinity of the Yednalue Dome, north of Carrieton, were inconclusive for accurately detecting further buried supergene mineralisation, or for establishing...

In a search for possible extensions to existing, almost worked-out poddy deposits of damourite mica and kaolinised sillimanite, that may occur within an area of prospective Barossa Complex Proterozoic basement inlier rocks located south-east of...

This ADI funded programme consisted of exploration drilling, geophysics programs and aboriginal employment relating to critical mineral exploration conducted over the Mt Craig Project in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia. ADI funded activities...

A licence which covers much of the northern Willouran Ranges, to the south-west of Marree, is being explored for large tonnage, Zambian style sediment hosted copper deposits that may have formed in the Adelaidean bedrock buried under shallow cover....

Copper Search Australia Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of Copper Search Limited) was granted co-funding from the Department of Energy and Mining in July 2021 to a subsidy total of up to $228,000, to assist it with high risk exploration of remote parts of the...

Exploration licence 5747 covers 955 square km located ~ 110 km north-east of Adelaide, on the eastern side of the Mount Lofty Ranges. It forms part of SeeSaw Resources “Bower Project” and forms a down-facing “horseshoe” shape that loops from Craigie...

IGO Ltd’s (IGO) Copper Coast Project is located along the eastern Spencer Gulf and is centred around Port Pirie. It sits along the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton and covers Proterozoic rocks of the Stuart Shelf, Torrens Hinge Zone, and Adelaide...

TARGET: The Willouran Ranges south-west of Marree were investigated for possible Olympic Dam type base metal occurrences which might have formed within the Precambrian Callanna, Burra and Umberatana Group sediments, and the area was also concurrently...

TARGET: Copper and gold in structurally controlled replacement zones within Torrensian Burra Group sediments. EXPLORATION: Rock chip sampling in an area of previously reported anomalous gold in fine-grained sediments, and the conduct of complex...

An ongoing work programme has included the latter stages of: the drilling of over 180 percussion and diamond holes totalling 24,388 m, the collection and assaying of 35,000 geochemical samples, preparation of 1150 petrographic descriptions, and...

Exploration of a Willouran inlier located near Spalding initially was aimed at finding low grade, large tonnage copper-molybdenum mineralisation of the type recently discovered at Anabama and Spilsby Island. Re-sampling of drill cores from 3 SADM...

TARGET: Diamonds in the Cradock - Carrieton region. EXPLORATION: Regional and follow-up stream sediment and gridded loam sampling, heavy mineral processing and SEM microscopy of bulk samples, grid-based ground magnetic surveys, and part of a regional...

TARGET: Possible Starra (Nth Qld) - type gold deposits associated with regional scale structures and associated intrusive rocks in the Anabama Hill region. EXPLORATION: Photogeology studies, reconnaissance BLEG stream sediment (44) and rock chip (16)...
