EL 4871, EL 4872, EL 5067, EL 5068 and EL 5182 (the Delamerian Group) were originally granted to Gold Fields Australasia Pty Ltd (Gold Fields) for sediment-hosted orogenic gold exploration. All of these tenements were preceded by an earlier tenement,...

An area centred ~ 60 km east of Tailem Bend has been explored for possible economic buried Tertiary marine placer heavy mineral sand (HMS) deposits that may have been formed within the Murray Basin sedimentary succession, as winnowed strandings that...

Tertiary Murray Basin cover sediments in an elongate area extending down the eastern side of the River Murray between Coolcha, Mannum and Murray Bridge have been explored for possible economic buried marine placer heavy mineral (HM) sands deposits. A...

A large area in the South-East, extending from Karoonda to Keith, was considered prospective for the accumulation of heavy mineral sand deposits. Exploration, carried out jointly on several contiguous Exploration Licences, comprised an initial review...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

During Year 7 of the project, Goldfields did no more field work, but undertook office-based analyses of bedrock geochemical and geological data obtained in its 2012 aircore drilling campaign. Image processing and interpretation of the Canegrass...

A small area located ~ 33 km north-east of Burra has been explored for possible economic buried marine placer heavy mineral (HM) sand deposits. The target strata comprised littoral marine sediments of the Pliocene aged Loxton - Parilla Sand (LPS), in...

An area centred ~20 km south-west of Morgan has been explored by Iluka Resources (Iluka) for possible economic buried Tertiary heavy mineral sands deposits. The company was targeting any mineralised Loxton-Parilla Sand (LPS) sediments deposited during...

An area covering the valley of the River Murray between Murray Bridge and Mannum, and also extending for a considerable distance eastwards into the Murray Mallee (across farmland on the counties of Younghusband, Burdett and Ettrick), has been explored...

A large area of the northern Murray Basin lying adjacent to the SA-NSW state border and also immediately north of the Danggali Wilderness Area of South Australia has been explored for possible economic buried marine placer deposits of Tertiary heavy...

An assessment of the Late Tertiary Murray Basin shallow marine clastic sedimentary sequence (Loxton and Parilla sands) for heavy mineral sand accumulations has discovered numerous occurrences of economic to sub-economic amounts of heavy minerals...

This report represents a partial surrender of EL 6787. The tenement is a part of the Lucindale Project and is considered prospective for iconic adsorption clay (IAC) hosted rare earth elements (REE) associated with lagoonal/dunal sediments of the...

Exploration licence 6786 "Lucindale Project" is being targeted for ionic adsorption clay (IAC) hosted rare earth elements (REE) associated with lagoonal/dunal sediments of the Murray Basin, overlying the Gambier Limestone. The tenement is located...

The Murray Basin is an intracratonic basin filled with Cainozoic fluvial to shallow marine sediments. Deposition in the Eocene and early Oligocene was characterised by floodplain and swamp deposits, emplaced with occasional interbeds of shelly clays...

Stratigraphic drilling has been undertaken by PIRSA in the South Australian portion of the northern Murray Basin to investigate the stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Cainozoic sedimentary sequences, as well as the heavy mineral sand potential of...
