A 400 m line spacing aeromagnetic survey was conducted over ABMINGA during 1992-1993 as part of the South Australian Exploration Initiative (SAEI). Short wavelength 'bullseye-dipole' anomalies observed on the aeromagnetics appear very similar to...

A test aerial spectrometric and subsidiary aeromagnetic survey of the onshore Otway Basin in SA was proposed in 1991 by APIRA, the Commonwealth Government's petroleum research authority. Initially it was aimed at utilising possible signature responses...

An interest by Carnegie Minerals prompted an investigation of the north and western side of Lake Eyre to locate palaeodrainage of possible economic significance. NOAA-AVHRR satellite images were processed over the area, paying particular attention to...

The Torrens Hinge Zone Project aimed to demonstrate the existence of prospective metalliferous rocks beneath the Cainozoic cover, to stimulate exploration and to investigate the transition between the Adelaidean sequences of the well-exposed Adelaide...

Two structural regimes have been identified from Landsat Multi Spectral Scanner imagery covering Adelaide and the Mount Lofty Ranges: - a thrust terrain in the Adelaidean metasedimentary sequence; - the major Kanmantoo Shear Zone affecting the...

As part of the Government's South Australian Exploration Initiative (SAEI), and in support of the South Australian Steel and Energy (SASE) Project, a small coal exploration program was initiated by MESA to investigate a number of subtle magnetic lows...

The lineament mapping methods used by E.S.T. (Tim) O'Driscoll, which were a crucial factor in the discovery of Olympic Dam, the world's largest known Cu-U-Au-Ag deposit, and of several other lesser Australian metallic orebodies, have now been applied...

In 2008, as part of work being performed for it to earn a 51% interest in the Mundi Mundi Plains joint venture exploration licences, Teck Cominco identified two geophysical targets within South Australia on Kalkaroo EL 3328 which it thought were...

Exploration for possible buried economic iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineral deposit targets within the subject area of the north-western Gawler Ranges utilised existing and newly acquired regional gravity data to attempt to identify...

In October 2003, Minotaur Exploration completed part of a regional infill ground gravity survey over the now relinquished portion of EL 3100, along N-S lines at a station spacing of 1 km x 2 km. A significant gravity anomaly which coincides with an...

In a search for possible economic buried IOCG type mineralisation within inferred Proterozoic basement, a new regional gravity survey incorporating the subject EL 3890 Primrose Hill and Minotaur's adjacent EL 3944 Sunny Creek was undertaken in July...

Exploration of an area located approximately 60 km north of William Creek, looking for possible economic buried iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation within inferred concealed Proterozoic basement east of the Peake and Denison...

Basal Umberatana Group glacial tillitic sedimentary sequences and upper Burra Group interglacial arenaceous sediments were explored for possible economic stratabound gold mineralisation in an area located about 10-40 km north-west of Burra. In the...

An area located 55 km east of Marree was explored for possible sedimentary uranium deposits hosted by Tertiary piedmont sediments shed from granitic basement outcrops of the northern Mount Babbage Inlier. A study of available regolith stratigraphic...

An area located approximately 90 km west-northwest of Ceduna, which was considered prospective for economic buried nickel, copper and cobalt mineralisation in Voisey's Bay type deposits that could possibly have formed in Proterozoic basement...

Following the detection in late 1997, by reconnaissance mobile metal ion partial leach analytical methods, of anomalous base and precious metal concentrations in the soil above several low amplitude magnetic anomalies on Tasman Resources' EL 2340, the...

Exploration conduced over three semi-adjacent small licence areas located 50-75 km north-east, north and north-west of Marree targeted possible near-surface sedimentary uranium deposits in sandstone palaeochannels, and also sedimentary phosphate rock...

Exploration currently underway for possible economic buried iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation within Proterozoic basement on the Mabel Creek High, in one of two joint venture group project licence areas located approximately 50...

A 140 square km area located about 30 km south-west of Kimba was taken up to explore for economic gypsum mineralisation in Recent surficial sediments. After performing aerial photointerpretation to identify prospective landforms, field inspection...
