Metal sulphides occurring in dolomitic mud and silt facies (Sweet Nell type deposits) were probably deposited in a supratidal environment, where the dolomitic shale facies with Cu mineralization probably originated closer inshore, while Pb, Zn...

Exploration for possible Olympic Dam type base metal sulphide deposits within the pre-Adelaidean basement underlying an area 100 km north-east of Kingoonya initially included making over 100 rock unit density and magnetic susceptibility measurements...

TARGET: The area of abandoned shallow historic workings for secondary copper and manganese ore aligned along a sandstone - dolomitic limestone contact on the western edge of Pernatty Lagoon. EXPLORATION: A field inspection of the above workings,...

New work undertaken on EL 4187 during the 2009-2010 licence year has included: • Ongoing documentation and interpretation of MGD 55 & 56 • Drilling of MGD57 to 1243 m at Emmie Bluff prospect • Down hole EM and IP logging of MGD57 •...

Summary of geological knowledge to date, including mineralogy, paragenesis and ore handling problems.

16 diamond drill holes tested the distribution and grade of copper mineralization occuring in the Woocalla shales. Drilling results suggest that no economically viable copper deposit exists in the Gully due to the low grade, high overburden and...

The Magazine Hill clay stratum is a weathering product of the black shale facies beds of the Woocalla dolomite and of the siltstones of the Yudnapinna Beds. Some evidence suggests that the stratum was formed during a pre-Marinoan marine regression and...

Samples studied for stratigraphic identification.

Follow up of an orientation INPUT survey anomaly with ground magnetic and IP surveys focussed attention on the MG14 area. This report describes the geophysical results and subsequent drill testing (DDH LY3), and their interpretation.

As part of continuing brownfields exploration for extensions to known stratiform base metal mineralisation in the area lying to the west of Pernatty Lagoon, much stratigraphic drilling (210 rotary percussion holes totalling 12,441 m, including 1167 m...

Ongoing appraisal work conducted by CSR at the company's newly discovered Cattlegrid copper deposit that lies at the top of the Pandurra Formation has included infill rotary percussion and diamond drilling (13 holes for 554 m, including 166 m cored),...

An area centred approximately 90 km north-west of Woomera has been explored for possible economic copper mineralisation associated with geophysical anomalies thought to originate within Adelaidean metasedimentary bedrock. After considerable delays and...

Regional geological mapping of the area was initiated in 1959 and was completed in 1964. All tracks in the area were traversed and detailed mapping confined to critical localities and to areas where this was considered desirable. Geological boundaries...

Stratiform copper sulphides, hosted within the basal Tapley Hill Formation, and extensions of known kimberlite bodies were targeted in this program. Reconnaissance and closer (down to 1 km x 1 km) spaced diamond and percussion drilling (28 and 83...

Isolated seismic refraction probes over S.M.L. 315 east of. Pernatty Lagoon revealed refractor velocities often quite different from those obtained over the outcropping rock units near Woocalla siding. However two areas adjacent to a subsurface ridge...

A deposit of barite, up to 20m wide and 350m long occurs in the Woocalla Dolomite Member at Pernatty Lagoon. The barite as indicated by grab samples, is associated with up to about 2.6 per cent strontium sulphate, 0.12 per cent iron oxide and 0.8 per...

Concentrations of copper occur in sandstone (Whyalla Sandstone Member) and dolomite (Woocalla Dolomite) which rest disconformably on an undulating surface of quartzite (Pandurra Formation) in the Mount Gunson area. Several attempts have been made to...
