Exploration of an area of shallowly covered Curnamona Province metalliferous basement rocks abutting the South Australia / New South Wales border, approximately 80 km north-east of Olary, has addressed good potential for discovering a range of base...

Two peripheral areas of the subject licence have been relinquished owing to their perceived poor potential for containing economic palaeochannel uranium mineralisation within Tertiary sediments. Two rotary mud drillholes were drilled in the western...

The PACE Initiative drilling collaboration proposal DPY3-06 was formulated to drill test three gravity - (magnetic) anomalies seen along the buried Benagerie Ridge area of the Curnamona Province of South Australia, on EL 3019 (Quinyambie Station)...

Ongoing exploration for possible commercial deposits of Tertiary sedimentary uranium in the Paralana (Hot Springs) Creek - Poontana Creek area, included 48 rotary mud holes (total 31,042 feet) and resistivity surveys. Several good strength...

As part of a regional search for buried Olympic Dam - type base metal deposits, Western Mining attempted to test an isolated but sharply defined aeromagnetic anomaly noted just to the east of the southern end of Lake Callabonna. After first acquiring...

Greenfields uranium exploration of Mesozoic and Cainozoic sediments was carried out over an interpreted synclinal feature on Murnpeowie Station, in an area located between the Mount Babbage Block and the Willouran Ranges. The target was possible...

Thirteen open holes were drilled for Tertiary uranium in the Frome Embayment. No significant anomalous radiometric response was intersected.

Further exploration of a radiometrically anomalous basinal area situated about 100 km east of Lake Frome, which is considered to be associated with the western flank of a sizeable Tertiary palaeochannel, has comprised open hole rotary drilling and...

A preliminary field geological examination of an area at Mount Harvey, located about 25 miles south-east of Oodnadatta, where a deposit of siliceous ?Tertiary claystone material occurs which it was hoped might be suitable for use as an absorbent, did...

All 5 holes (totalling 655 metres) penetrated Cretaceous basement at depths between 95 and 141 metres, overlain by Murnpeowie Formation. No significant features or anomalous radioactivity were detected.

Exploration for possible buried roll-front or sandstone type sedimentary uranium deposits was carried out over a broad area lying northeast of Lake Frome by a South African - French joint venture. A large reconnaissance open hole rotary drilling and...

In a search for economic sedimentary uranium deposits in an area located approximately 80 km south-east of Lake Frome, possible extensions to the NW-SE trending Yarramba Palaeochannel system running along the eastern side of the Benagerie Ridge...

Three holes totalling 305 metres were drilled. Two holes penetrated Cretaceous basement at 80-81 metres, overlain by Murnpeowie Formation. No significant features or anomalous radioactivity was detected.

An office review of the uranium prospectivity of an area located 30 km south-east of Lake Charles on the eastern Lake Frome Plains has drawn solely on previous drillhole data to assess the Cainozoic subsurface sedimentary sequence for its likely...

Rotary drilling and geophysical logging of 27 holes totalling 1899.5 m were completed in an area located 25-30 km south-east of Lake Frome. Anomalous radioactivity is restricted to the Lower Tertiary Eyre Formation equivalent, or basement rocks....

As part of an ongoing search for possible buried economic roll-front or sandstone type Tertiary sedimentary uranium deposits in an area 70 km east of Lake Frome, a detailed stratigraphic and sedimentological analysis was undertaken of rotary drillhole...

No favourable uranium ore was found in Murnpeowie or Marree Formations.

Resistivity surveying and a 19 hole rotary drilling program (total 2252 metres) targeted possible sedimentary uranium deposits in Tertiary palaeochannels. A major palaeodrainage system was found to be present in the area, with some anomalous...

Five open rotary holes totalling 614.7 m were drilled and geophysically logged to test a possible, resistivity - interpreted southern extension of the Lower Tertiary Yarramba Palaeochannel. The existence of this additional channel was confirmed, but...

TARGET: Roll-front uranium deposits in buried Tertiary sediments. EXPLORATION: An airborne radiometric survey of 600 line miles, and reconnaissance groundwater sampling, followed by the drilling of 42 rotary holes (total 17,928 feet), 24 of which were...
