This report was prepared as a summary of all open file mineral exploration data from the KINGOONYA 1:250000 mapsheet area that are held in the SADME records management Envelope system. The aim of the holdings review was to describe past exploration,...

This 5-day field excursion was mounted by the GSSA to inform government and industry participants about significant newly identified geological features within the central Gawler Craton which are the subjects of ongoing study. The itinerary chosen...

The Gawler Range Volcanics outcrop extensively across the central part of the Gawler Craton. They form a Mesoproterozoic volcanic complex made up of many ash flows, ignimbrites, lava flows and air-fall tuffs. This report is a compilation of...

Archaean and Early and Middle Proterozoic rocks of the north-western Gawler Craton have features which suggest good prospectivity for base metals, precious metals and other commodities. However, outcrop is poor and there has been relatively little...

Volcano-plutonic rocks of the Nuyts Archipelago represent a discrete phase of felsic magmatism at about 1630 Ma. Associated with the Nuyts Volcanics are grey alkali granites, leucogranites and leucoporphyries - here defined as the Saint Francis...

4 main styles of mineralization have been identified and the following areas worthy of further investigation are outlined : . Broken Hill style : associated with banded iron formation (BIF) and schist of the Early Proterozoic Hutchison Group on...

Summarises the chemical classification and macroscopic visual attributes of basement igneous rocks seen in outcrop within the regional geological settings of northern Eyre Peninsula and the Gawler Ranges.

A trachyandesite from the Gawler Range Volcanics at Buckleboo and an alkali basalt from the main quarry at Mount Schank are suitable for Departmental geochemical standards. A sample from an outcrop of Heatherdale Shale at Carrickalinga Head is a...

Several commodities are currently mined on Eyre Peninsula including iron ore, dolomite, graphite, lime sand, gypsum, silica, granite, nephrite jade, talc and salt. Historically, copper, lead, silver and gold have also been mined and there are known...

36 reverse circulation drillholes totalling 1448 m (average depth 40.2 m) were drilled to determine the bedrock geology and geochemistry below sedimentary cover, in selected locations on the KINGOONYA 1:250,000 mapsheet area that had been recommended...

This interpretation of magnetic and gravity data covering KINGOONYA was undertaken as part of an interpretation of the northern Gawler Craton, and was carried out without reference to any previous geophysical interpretation. Most of the work is based...

Beda Volcanics and Backy Point Formation crop out in only a few localities on northeastern Eyre Peninsula, north of Whyalla, but drilling has shown them to extend for approximately 170 km to the north below younger cover. The Beda Volcanics comprise...

Mineral exploration data from the BARTON and OOLDEA 1:250 000 sheet areas, which are held in the SADME open file Envelope system, are summarized and anomalous or significant data highlighted. Targets: - Base metal mineralization from anomalous drill...

The Mesoproterozoic Gawler Range Volcanics - Hiltaba Granite Suite - related Olympic Dam style Cu-U-Au mineralisation, and Menninnie Dam replacement style Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation, have served to raise the prospectivity of rocks in and underlying the...

A planned reconnaissance soil geochemical sampling survey in an area to the east of Lake Everard was not carried out due to the need to obtain an access agreement from local native title claimants and after making a negative re-assessment of the...

Exploration for possible buried Carrapateena or Prominent Hill type iron oxide-associated copper-gold deposits along the south-eastern side of the Stuart Shelf, in the vicinity of the southern end of Lake Torrens, initially consisted of a review of...

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...

An area located approximately 110 km north of Kimba, on the eastern margin of Lake Gairdner, has been explored for possible buried iron oxide - associated copper-gold±uranium (IOCG-U) mineralisation formed within the Mesoproterozoic or older basement...
