Exploration for possible epithermal / hydrothermal gold and/or IOCG drilling targets within an area located about 120 km north-east of Streaky Bay, on the north-eastern side of the Gawler Ranges near Lake Acraman, aimed at testing prominent...

In 2012, the first year after the project's acquisition, TGL spent A$6.4M on gold exploration and on doing mining feasibility studies. The work program was mainly an ongoing evaluation of development opportunities for the Area 223 gold resource. Some...

321 square km of the former area of EL 4938 has recently been relinquished due to a lack of encouraging results, and difficulty with land access onto certain private properties located therein due to some farmers’ resistance to mineral exploration....

112.3 square km or 29% of the former area of EL 4938, in two separate blocks, has recently been relinquished due to a lack of encouraging results, and difficulty with land access onto certain private properties located therein due to some farmers’...

An area centred ~90 km west-northwest of Tarcoola and ~15 km south of the Challenger gold mine is being explored for possible economic metallic mineralisation that may have formed in igneous and metamorphic basement rocks, ideally in places where the...

The iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation potential of an area centred ~20 km south of Tarcoola, which appeared to contain untested but interesting gravity and soil geochemical anomalies, was investigated by Minotaur to try to...

A large, 705 square km area surrounding Kimba township was taken up to explore for possible economic buried deposits of Mount Isa or Broken Hill style base metals (Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag), and Tanami style lode gold. The licence lay in the northern part of the...

Exploration for possible buried Ernest Henry or Olympic Dam style copper-gold mineralisation in the Nuckulla Hill area, 120 km north-east of Ceduna, did not progress during the first two years of tenure due to uncertainties in selecting a new remote...

Some large areas of vacant ground located in the south and west of Mulgathing Station that lie adjacent to the Bulgunnia Fault Zone were taken up by Monax Mining initially to explore primarily for Olympic Dam type IOCG-U mineralisation and also for...

A large area on Lake Everard Station, extending for ~44 km north-south through the Gawler Ranges immediately south of Lake Gairdner, has been explored for possible buried epithermal gold which may occur along the south-eastwards trending arm of the...

During the sixth year of the project, licensee Adelaide Resources did not do any exploration directed at gold or base metals that might possibly occur on the subject tenements. However, its joint venture partner Quasar Resources undertook significant...

A tiny licence area located near Buckleboo, ~37 km north of Kimba, has been explored for possible economic buried epithermal Paris style silver and base metals, and/or gold and/or uranium mineralisation, that may have formed in Archaean to...

The Nuckulla Hill Au-Ag Project, originally consisting of three exploration licences covering 640 square km, is located approximately 115 km north-east of Ceduna in South Australia, and covers approximately 60 km strike length of the mineralised...

This regolith material hand specimen atlas displays 246 images of 212 regolith samples which have been collected over the last 30 years by the authors, present and past Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) staff and members of the Cooperative...

The CHILDARA 1:250 000 map area is located on the western Gawler Craton, an ancient crystalline shield comprising Archaean, Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic metasediments, volcanics and granites that has been tectonically stable since 1450 Ma...

An area centred about 100 km north-west of Tarcoola has been explored principally for buried economic iron ore formed within Paleoproterozoic BIF strata and also for iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation, while the central portion...

Mineral exploration conducted in an area centred approximately 70 km west of Ceduna has addressed targets including sediment-hosted uranium, possibly present either in Tertiary to Permian palaeochannels or in the tectonically controlled Mulgathing...

An area lying along the south-western margin of the Gawler Ranges has been explored by Minotaur Resources to assess the economic iron oxide - associated copper-gold mineralisation (IOCG) potential of near-coincident gravity and magnetic anomalies that...

Geochemical and isotopic data from mantle-derived mafic rocks provide important constraints on our understanding of the composition and evolution of the lithosphere through time. Since the lithosphere is sensitive to tectonic processes such as...

This geochronological study was undertaken within the scope of the Mineral Systems Drilling Program (MSDP), a program that was aimed at improving the understanding of the geology and prospectivity of the southern Gawler Ranges margin area on northern...
