In the reporting period to 30th June 1995 for Exploration Licence 1944, Heathgate Pty Ltd completed no fieldwork, however geological evaluation work was undertaken. This work consisted of laboratory testing of drill core from a 1991 drilling program...

Possible heavy mineral sand marine placer deposits occurring in the Pliocene Loxton-Parilla Sands of the Murray Basin were the targets of exploration in an area extending immediately north and south of Bordertown, and across to the SA/Vic. State...

Within the subject south-eastern Eucla Basin tenements, Iluka's ongoing exploration has targeted the Tertiary-aged beach sands deposited during the five marine incursions that occurred from the Middle Eocene to the Pliocene, with a focus on exploring...

The Robin Rise exploration licence, centred approximately 35 km south-southwest of Coober Pedy, covers portions of the Palaeoproterozoic basement domain known as the Coober Pedy Ridge, an east-northeast trending magnetic block of variable magnetic...

A number of shallow Neogene salt lakes, that extend in chain-like fashion along the length of the inner Coorong and its hinterland as far south as Lacepede Bay, have been investigated for possible economic evaporitic mineral deposits that may have...

Four exploration licences distributed along the northern and north-eastern edges of Iluka's Group 4 of jointly reported tenements have been fully surrendered, after work performed there recently suggested that their perceived prospectivity for...

During the 2008-2009 licence year, most of the new work done consisted of appraisal rotary mud drilling at Four Mile East (112 holes for 24,460 m) and Four Mile West (113 holes for 19,120 m), with the addition of one NQ diamond cored hole (AKC093) for...

Work undertaken on EL 4378 during the 2009-2010 reporting year included the drilling of 478 vertical rotary mud holes totalling 132,960 m, and core drilling totalling 4117 m performed in 16 of these holes for stratigraphic unit / resource...

Digging of exploratory shallow costeans into lithified Tertiary arenaceous sedimentary units on the eastern bank of the River Murray, 2 km south-west of Taylorville, to search for inferred workable deposits of decorative fossiliferous sandstone, did...

A group of exploration licences located on the northern margin of the Eucla Basin, and situated north of the Trans Australian Railway, which cover ground extending into the Eocene to Miocene marginal marine depositional hinterland behind the Barton...

A large area centred ~100 km south-east of Streaky Bay was taken up to explore for possible buried Tertiary, palaeodrainage sediment-sourced, palaeomarine shoreface placer deposits of heavy mineral sands (HM). Diatreme believed that the coastline of...

Four scattered Iluka heavy mineral sands (HM) exploration licences located on the eastern margin of the Eucla Basin north of Ceduna have now been fully surrendered. On the basis of exploration conducted on them until late in 2017, this work being...

The remaining 351 square km of an area centred ~ 80 km north-west of Ceduna, that lies mainly within the Yellabinna Regional Reserve, has recently been fully surrendered because Iluka's work completed there has shown that this ground only has low...

An area centred ~10 km north of Bordertown, abutting the SA/Vic. state border, has been explored for possible economic heavy mineral (HM) deposits that may have formed in the southern Murray Basin as beach strandings within Loxton-Parilla Sand...

Hallett Cove is one of South Australia’s foremost natural science treasures. Exposed examples for prime geological concepts of superposition of strata, depositional unconformities (representing time breaks), and folding and faulting of sedimentary...

Heavy mineral marine placer deposits formed within the Pliocene Loxton-Parilla Sand of the Murray Basin were the targets of exploration in areas lying immediately north and south of Bordertown. Aircore drilling (86 holes, total 1903 m) was carried...

A further ~24.3% of a licence located 130 km north of Fowlers Bay and immediately south of the Trans Australia Railway, in the vicinity of Barton Siding, has been relinquished due to its perceived diminished potential for finding economic deposits of...

An area on the south-western edge of the Frome Embayment, that is centred ~100 km south of the Beverley uranium mine, has been taken up to explore for possible buried palaeochannel and sandstone hosted roll front style secondary uranium mineralisation...

Under a farm-in agreement it made with Marathon Resources, the licensee of an area in the SA Murray Basin far northern sector located near the SA-NSW State border, 25 km south of Mutooroo Homestead, undertook exploratory drilling for possible economic...

An area centred ~200 km north of Cook has been explored for possible buried heavy mineral sands (HM) marine placer accumulations that may have formed along a topographic high that is geographically situated immediately north of the Ooldea Range, and...
