As a part of searching for economic deposits of sediment-hosted copper (SHC) mineralisation that might have formed within rocks of the Adelaide Rift Complex Neoproterozoic sedimentation sequence occupying an area located due east of Lyndhurst in the...

A multi-licence project area centred on the historic abandoned Burra copper mine is being explored for possible economic, buried Burra type copper oxide and copper carbonate mineralisation that may have formed within Neoproterozoic metasedimentary...

To date exploration in the Burra region of the Adelaide Geosyncline has focussed on historic copper-gold oxide workings, with the aim of delineating further mineralisation along strike, or sulphide mineralisation at depth. Lately however, rather than...

As part of a renewed search for possible buried economic volcanogenic or epigenetic stratiform copper oxide or copper carbonate deposits, thought to be associated with poorly exposed fault structures and related hydrothermal alteration of Adelaidean...

Phoenix Copper was attracted to explore the Spalding Inlier region in the Northern Mount Lofty Ranges after earlier work done by the South Australian Department of Mines (SADM) and by Copper Range reported the occurrence of several known sites of...

Two adjoining areas located west-northwest of Leigh Creek are being explored as part of a regional search for possible economic Beltana-style zinc silicate hydrothermal replacement mineralisation hosted by brecciated Cambrian or Neoproterozoic bedrock...

Since taking over ownership of five licences that previously formed parts of Flinders Mines' Springfield Project, by a purchase agreement that took force in June 2014, Diamond Resources has been working to define, identify and prioritise advanced...

A north-south trending, high angle fault structure associated with mineralisation at the historic Burra Mine was considered by Redfire Resources to be prospective along strike as a host for further economic copper mineralisation of similar...

EL 5520 is being explored as part of a regional search for possible economic Beltana-style zinc silicate hydrothermal replacement mineralisation hosted by brecciated Cambrian or Neoproterozoic bedrock carbonates. No field work was completed by licence...

Base metal and gold exploration undertaken over a lengthy period since 1980 in the Yudnamutana Hill area, 20 km north-west of Arkaroola, has comprised detailed geological mapping of major basement and cover stratigraphic units and known mineral...

An area located in the Worlds End detrital alluvial goldfield district of the north-eastern Mount Lofty Ranges, and centred ~20 km north-east of Burra, is being explored mainly for possible economic stratiform/replacement manganese oxide...

A 47.4 square km area, representing about 37% of EL 4358, has been relinquished due to the inferred significant cover there of Quaternary alluvial and aeolian overburden. No field work was conducted on this area as part of a regional search for...

A partly defined magnesite resource thought to be of the order of 579 million tonnes in size, consisting of a series of semi-continuously outcropping magnesite beds ranging in thickness from 0.5 m to 9.0 m, is situated within the northern Flinders...

Possible intrusive Proterozoic salt bodies beneath the Blinman, Upalinna, Martins Well, Mt Hemming, Willippa and Bibliando Domes were investigated by field mapping, including the construction of measured outcrop stratigraphic sections, seismic...

The southern portion of the Mount Painter Province held under ELs 871 and 1049 contains Adelaidean sediments of the Upper Callanna Beds and Burra Group overlying the Carpentarian Mount Painter Complex. Reconnaissance work by Marathon Petroleum during...

A consultant's detailed regional geological study of the northern Willouran Ranges, and then his very close examination of the apparent controls on known diapir-related exposed epigenetic / stratabound copper mineralisation, have identified three...

Bedded deposits of magnesite known to exist within the southern Flinders Ranges, where they outcrop over a considerable strike distance extent in the country approximately 20 km east of Port Pirie, were identified by Magnesium Developments Limited...

Exploration undertaken within an area centred ~10 km east of Burra comprised portable XRF soil geochemical sampling, and the re-processing of available geophysical data. The aim was to identify possible buried copper oxide and copper carbonate...

For earlier reports on its base metal exploration that were submitted by BHP Minerals covering the three licence reporting years 4/8/1995-3/8/1998, see the separate index record for Env 09983. Exploration undertaken within a large licence area...
