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...

A small area of the northern Flinders Ranges surrounding the Nichols Nob copper occurrences was explored for possible economic massive stratiform copper deposits, targeting the known mineralised Yudnamutana Subgroup metasediments. Work comprised a...

Two historic copper mining prospects located in the Mount Coffin area, east of Copley, have been studied by a consultant geologist to determine their economic potential, following the recent conduct of separate appraisal drilling programmes by the...

Detailed 1:1200 scale geological mapping on the existing prospect grid, plus geochemical and petrological studies of mineralised and host rock samples, suggest that the mineralisation at Mount McTaggart may be related to pneumatolytic metasomatism....

Inspection of an extensively faulted domal area within upper Adelaidean metasediments east and south-east of Martins Well Homestead sought to find barite deposits of sufficiently high grade and quantity to resemble those of the Oraparinna mine area,...

Prompted by records of anomalous radioactivity being detected at old copper workings in the Hawker - Willochra region of the Flinders Ranges, the licensees decided to investigate the Arkaba Diapir for possible uranium mineralisation that might be...

Soil geochemical sampling (940 samples) carried out on a 1000 foot by 1500 foot grid pattern over the Arkaba Diapir, aiming to check for possible economic zinc mineralisation that may have formed within the diapiric breccias and related fracture zones...

Exploration of the known copper-bearing Lower Adelaidean metasediments outcropping in the Willouran Ranges to the south-west of Marree addressed the many historical mine prospects and also the region as a whole. Initial work comprised a regional...

Several minor occurrences of copper sulphide mineralisation associated with diapirism and igneous activity centred on the Mount Remarkable Fault were investigated by a literature survey of salient features and of past exploration methods used. It was...

A review of past exploration carried out in the vicinity of the Arkaba Diapir has concluded that the potential for finding near-surface economic metal mineralisation is slight, although the use of modern deeply penetrating geophysical techniques such...

A diamond drilling programme of 3 holes totalling 1284 feet of penetration was carried out on the Baratta Mining Field to test two IP anomalous zones trending easterly and lying approximately 10,000 feet apart. The objectives were to investigate the...

Regional stream sediment sampling conducted over an area of historically prospective ?Archaean, Proterozoic and Palaeozoic rocks in the Mount Painter - Mount Babbage - Mount Livingstone - Yudnamutana area did not reveal any base or precious metal...

Exploration for stratabound copper deposits within potentially prospective Late Proterozoic host sedimentary rocks over an area of the southern Flinders Ranges comprised regional geochemical sampling and detailed (1:10,000 scale) geological mapping,...

SML 113 covering about 1000 square km of Upper Proterozoic and Lower Cambrian sediments, and scattered masses of intrusive diapir, was taken out in the vicinity of Beltana to explore for copper deposits analogous to those found by SA Department of...

Geological mapping followed by geophysical surveys, geochemical sampling and limited auger drilling was carried out in the licence area on Baratta Station between May and August 1966. The objectives were to outline the stratigraphy, structure, nature...

Exploration for possible extensions to historic stratiform copper and lead occurrences in Adelaidean rocks of the southern part of the Carrieton district consisted of regional and detailed stream sediment and soil sampling, IP surveys along strike...

In an area situated immediately north-east of Hawker township, reconnaissance stream sediment sampling (761 samples) carried out at a density of 10 samples per square mile, plus limited follow-up soil sampling, did not disclose any base metal...

An area surrounding Beltana in the Flinders Ranges, which is known to contain low level base metal mineralised Adelaidean and Cambrian sedimentary rocks and diapiric intrusive structures, has been prospected by a combination of photogeological studies...
