Work targeting Archaean to Proterozoic iron ore in BIF that was carried out by the Iron Road JV partners during 2010-2011 comprised studies of the geological setting and physical characteristics of magnetite iron mineralisation delineated by Stage I...

Exploration work included geophysical surveys, reprocessing of airborne radiometric data, and rotary and diamond drilling (237 holes totalling 5975 m; total depths from 3-55 m) in a search for sedimentary uranium in Tertiary palaeochannels, and gold...

An agglomeration of exploration licences which partly surrounds the Challenger gold deposit at distances of between 35 and 80 km is being explored for similar type economic lode gold mineralisation that may exist in buried Archaean bedrock relatively...

No field work was performed on the subject licence during its last year of tenure. However, this Envelope contains all of the earlier (including that collected within the last 5 years) licence-specific soil calcrete geochemical, gravity survey and...

During the sixth licence year, in February 2011, new licence owner Marmota Energy Limited ('Marmota') undertook a reconnaissance biogeochemical survey at the Pundinya prospect, collecting 54 x 30 g grab samples of vegetation of Mulga trees, in the...

Iluka Resources has previously been exploring an area located 200 km north-west of Ceduna primarily for buried Tertiary marine placer deposits of heavy mineral sands. But due to the poor results obtained from its reconnaissance traverse drilling...

Six separate portions of the subject licence, with a combined total area of 35 square km, have been surrendered due to their now perceived diminished prospectivity for iron ore, gold, uranium, PGEs and base metals. During the period of their tenure,...

TARGET: Gold in Lower Proterozoic rocks of the Tarcoola Formation and part of the Mulgathing Complex, possibly as a metamorphosed equivalent of the high grade gold orebodies of The Granites (Tanami Desert, NT). EXPLORATION: Interpretation of aerial...

TARGET: Possible diamonds in the Barton region. EXPLORATION: Acquisition of an aerial magnetic-radiometric-VLF EM survey (line spacing: 300 m; altitude: 70 m) led to field investigations of 142 potential kimberlite targets generated from this survey...

During the sixth year of the project, base metals exploration was focussed on the Mars-Aurora Tank, Wirrida and Bundi prospects using ground gravity and IP survey methods. Some trial magnetotelluric and audio-frequency magnetotelluric survey profiles...

During the 2009-2010 reporting year, as part of the strategy to significantly advance the future development of the Hawks Nest Iron Ore Project, Western Plains Resources (WPG) successfully concluded a series of complex joint venture negotiations with...

TARGET: Sedimentary uranium in the Garford and other palaeodrainage channels, over an area of the Great Victoria Desert lying south of the Wilkinson Lakes. EXPLORATION: RC drilling (50 holes totalling 2331 m) was carried out to test sediments...

Stockdale's exploration for diamonds in the Barton region, at the start of the licence period, commenced with the evaluation of 136 potential kimberlite targets generated by the detailed in-house interpretation of data acquired from an extensive new...

Anomalies defined from an 800 m E-W line - spaced airborne magnetic survey that was flown in the Jumbuck Outstation area were resolved by ground magnetic survey follow-up and then were tested in 17 rotary percussion drillholes totalling 1398 m. The...

Previous classification of gold deposits in the Gawler Craton grouped occurrences into either Archean orogenic deposits, or intrusion-related deposits associated with the Hiltaba Suite intrusive event (Central Gawler Gold Province). In this study, the...

The Mirikata EL 3537 joint venture partners, Newcrest Operations Ltd and PlatSearch NL, have completed a planned four hole drilling campaign over three separate magnetic and/or gravity anomalies located 30-40 km west-southwest of Prominent Hill on...

290 gravity stations laid out on a 250 m spaced grid over a complex of magnetic anomalies located 45 km north-west of Kingoonya were read as reconnaissance input to a search for possible gold and base metal deposits in outcropping and concealed...

An area centred ~120 km WSW of Coober Pedy has been explored for possible buried economic sandstone-hosted secondary uranium deposits which might have formed within eastwards-draining tributaries of the Tertiary Garford Palaeochannel. This...

An area centred ~160 km southwest of Coober Pedy, that is located on and immediately south of the Karari Fault, a major crustal structure which has controlled deposition at the southern limit of the Permian to Tertiary sediment-filled Tallaringa...

The trigger event causing this data release to be made is that three portions of licence ground that together cover ~289 square km or 19.5% of the former area of EL 4217 Barton East have now been relinquished, as of 11/1/2011. No corresponding partial...
