A resistivity survey consisting of four E-W profiles and a follow-up rotary drilling programme (16 holes, total 1456 m) were conducted in EL 121, adjacent to the SA-NSW border, to try to locate possible sedimentary uranium deposits within inferred...

The Six Mile Hill area was one of three areas targeted in the Minerals Systems Drilling Program (MSDP) during 2015-2016. Four holes were drilled in the Six Mile Hill area to test for potential for iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation and to...

Although gold is widespread throughout South Australia, the state has traditionally been, and continues to be, recognised as a minor producer. The 2001-2002 gold production figure of 3.64 t still only represents approximately 1.4% of the total...

A compilation of expert-written articles on all aspects of SA mining history, most of which were presented as papers at the first Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Seminar on Mining Heritage held in Adelaide on 25 March 1986.

Exploration of an onshore area located immediately north of Murat Bay aimed to discover beach or shallow marine placer concentrations of zircon-rich heavy mineral sands, possibly formed within significant thicknesses of prospective Upper Tertiary...

Ongoing uranium exploration work in an area immediately south of Lake Frome has comprised the evaluation of pervasive uranium mineralisation encountered within the Billeroo Palaeochannel over several km of its length, a short distance north of the...

Rotary drilling of 23 open holes (total 4 817 m) in a search for Tertiary sedimentary uranium occurrences north-west of Lake Frome intersected an aureole of radioactivity greater than ten to fifteen times background level in eight of the holes.

A series of lithostratigraphic interpretations of outcrop and drillhole sections (for SADME and Comalco holes) have been drawn up to assist in the production of a satisfactory palaeogeographic and stratigraphic model of the Officer Basin. 3...

An area of considerable biological, geological and cultural interest, including its wilderness character; geological features such as fossils, structures, stratigraphy, and mineralogy; the geomorphic story, particularly of the Pleistocene and Recent...

The first draft of correlation chart for the Australian Jurassic is presented for comment. It includes both sedimentary and igneous rocks and covers onshore and offshore areas and Papua New Guinea to 8 degrees S. The chart overlaps with surrounding...

Ongoing exploration for possible buried Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, conducted over an area of the Stuart Shelf located 15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, has comprised RC drilling (20 holes, aggregate penetration 1768 m) and diamond...

Uranium Equities Ltd, with the assistance of PACE Initiative Year 5 drilling project partial subsidy funds, have completed a greenfields exploration drilling programme to look for possible buried sedimentary uranium mineralisation on the western edge...

In a search for postulated Tertiary heavy mineral sands marine placer deposits that may have been formed outside of the presently known north-eastern extent of such age sedimentary basins (i.e. along a proto Eucla Basin coastline existing within the...

Exploration for trona and base metals was centred on the Marla region. Work included regional gravity and magnetic studies, acquisition of airborne magnetic and multi-channel radiometric data, with follow-up ground magnetic and gravity surveys,...

Utah Development Co. entered into a joint venture exploration programme with Northland Minerals Ltd in the Kapunda area of South Australia that has lasted from 29 May 1974 to 14 February 1978. Utah has managed this programme, which sought stratiform...
