An area centred ~105 km west-southwest of Port Augusta is being explored for possible economic buried, basement-hosted occurrences of epithermal/hydrothermal/metamorphic gold, silver, iron, uranium, and base metals mineralisation. On the now...

Two adjacent licences together covering a large area located to the south of the Barrier Highway between Olary and Manna Hill are being explored for possible large tonnage, mainly buried low grade magnetite deposits that could have formed within the...

Following the conduct of ground magnetic and gravity surveys over a discrete magnetic anomaly that was left untested in previous North Broken Hill exploration of an area surrounding Bute township, the current licensee's diamond drilling (to TD 426.6...

TARGET: Possible epithermal or hydrothermal gold in the Mount Finke region, 50 km south-west of Tarcoola. EXPLORATION: A regional magnetic interpretation, ground magnetic surveys, and RAB drilling (49 holes totalling 1055 m) to sample the bedrock...

17 square km or ~65% of the former area of EL 5931, and 14 square km or ~12% of the former area of EL 6072, have recently been relinquished due to their now perceived diminished prospectivity for buried base and precious metal mineralisation. Work...

An aeromagnetic anomaly and nearby gravity anomaly identified in Palaeoproterozoic basement 17 km south of Mingary were tested for base metal mineralisation of Broken Hill or Olympic Dam type by performing a gravity survey and by drilling 7 percussion...

Exploration for Broken Hill type Pb-Zn-Ag and epigenetic Cu-Au mineralisation in deeply covered Palaeoproterozoic rocks of the Coober Pedy region comprised aeromagnetic interpretation, depth to basement studies, anomaly selection, ground magnetic...

Following a change in exploration focus in late 1985, from the search for sedimentary uranium to looking for possible Broken Hill style stratiform Ag-Pb-Zn base metal mineralisation within concealed Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks, in the Kalkaroo...

Known fine-grained cassiterite vein mineralisation occurring at Prospect Hill was investigated via detailed geological mapping (at 1:1000 scale), ground magnetic surveying and the conduct of metallurgical testwork. Out of this work it was concluded...

TARGET: Possible diamondiferous kimberlites, Olympic Dam style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, and base metals associated with chemosedimentary iron formations. EXPLORATION: Ground magnetic and gravity surveys, rock chip and loam sampling, and stratigraphic...

During licence Year 6, in November 2005, Mt Gibson Iron Limited (MGI) undertook a brief exploration campaign at Hawks Nest, acting under the terms of an access and option agreement which it had made with Felix Resources Limited, a company seeking to...

A large part of the Harris Greenstone Domain basement tectonostratigraphic block, extending from 10 km to 130 km west of Kingoonya, is being explored for possible buried economic gold, nickel and other base metal mineralisation which may be associated...

At the newly discovered Mount Torrens lead prospect, grid auger soil geochemical sampling, 1:5000 scale geological mapping, limited ground geophysical test surveying and the drilling of 23 percussion holes totalling 3388 m indicated the existence of...

Arising out of exploratory drilling carried out by Ironclad Mining in 2012, which aimed to test the shallow subsurface haematite ore potential of an ironstone outcrop located in the central north of the Wilcherry Hill licence area, an unexpected...

During licence Year 11 (2007-2008), exploration activities on renewed EL 3745 included: • acquiring 1.9 line km of TEM profiles at Dingo prospect; • acquiring 21.4 line km of ground magnetic survey coverage at 1-metre station spacing on three...

In 2022 SIMEC Mining/Onesteel Manufacturing Pty Ltd successfully applied for up to $270,000 of funding through the South Australian Government’s Accelerated Discovery Initiative (ADI) program. The company proposed to undertake RC and diamond drilling...

During the 2011-2012 project reporting period, exploration activities within the Mount Woods Project area which were conducted by OZL primarily targeted IOCG style mineralisation. Work included: · a continuation of office-based target generation and...

Two separate prospect areas have been explored with reconnaissance and follow-up IP surveys (total 264 line km), ground magnetic surveys (34 line km), minor TX - Afmag and REM surveys (4 line km), and regional and detailed geological mapping (1:12,000...

A project to compare Gawler Craton iron formations of unknown age with those of known Archaean age (from geochronology) and with the Proterozoic, Lake Superior - type Middleback Range iron deposits has concentrated on characterising each formation by...

A programme of ground magnetic surveying along 7 short traverses, plus air/mud drag-bit percussion drilling (5 vertical open holes totalling 509 m) was used to investigate a set of previously untested discrete aeromagnetic high anomalies covered by...
