WMC's Stuart Shelf exploration activities from 1975 to 1985 have sought mainly Olympic Dam style mineralisation (copper - uranium - precious metals in haematitic breccia host rocks), with lesser emphasis directed at: possible distal analogues of the...

Two small adjacent areas located 25 km north of Port Augusta, on the south-eastern Stuart Shelf close to the Torrens Hinge Zone, are being explored for possible buried economic IOCG style mineralisation which could have formed within inferred deep and...

Buried basement-hosted iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation of either Moonta-Wallaroo or Olympic Dam style is the target of exploration across a number of scattered Exploration Licences trending from Port Broughton in the south to...

Diamond exploration in a region north to north-west of Oodnadatta comprised heavy mineral and geochemical sampling over magnetic anomalies selected from aeromagnetic surveys and further defined by ground magnetometry. Certain of this ground was...

IGO Ltd’s (IGO) Copper Coast Project is located along the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton in South Australia, and covers Proterozoic rocks of the Stuart Shelf, Torrens Hinge Zone and Adelaide Rift Complex, which form part of the Adelaide...

Buried basement-hosted iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation of either Moonta-Wallaroo or Olympic Dam style is the target of ongoing exploration on the two adjacent subject tenements. In addition, the current holder considers that...

A large multi-licence project area skirting the south-eastern and southern sides of Lake Torrens is being explored for economic buried deposits of base metals. This area is considered prospective on the basis of known mineral occurrences, proximity to...

After BHP Billiton (BHPB) gained ownership of two of the subject exploration licences, and later was granted another three in its own right, the licence group as a whole (now called the Lake Torrens Project) continued to be explored primarily for...

Following the completion of desktop studies of previous exploration data, and the conduct of a site visit to the Wilkatana Project area, it was decided that the metalliferous mineral prospectivity of basinal sediments underlying the four subject...

TARGET: Uranium and base metal deposits associated with Early to Middle Proterozoic basement geological structures and rock units in Spencer Gulf coastal areas east and south of Port Broughton. EXPLORATION: Aerial magnetic and radiometric surveys,...

(Abstract continued): During the first quarter of 1985, diamond drillhole OFD3 was completed at TD 498 m at a site 2 km west of hole OFD2, to further investigate the magnetic high south of the Opal Field. This hole reached basement at 359 m depth,...

Olympic Dam or Moonta-Wallaroo style concealed iron-oxide copper-gold mineralisation hosted in Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic basement rocks of the Stuart Shelf, and Mount Gunson type younger Neoproterozoic sediment-hosted buried copper...

Economic deposits of iron-oxide associated copper-gold mineralisation of the Moonta-Wallaroo or Olympic Dam style, hosted in Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks of the Moonta Sub-domain, were targeted by exploration in three now surrendered licences,...

A small area located about 20 km north-west of Port Wakefield was taken under licence by ETSA to try to secure limestone/dolomite material of suitable quality and in sufficient quantity to provide chemical additives for aiding the process of...

Three contiguous licence areas located 20-70 km east and north-east of Andamooka have been explored for possible epithermal/hydrothermal gold and base metal mineralisation of either IOCG style or stratabound/replacement type, hosted by inferred buried...

Olympic Dam style copper-gold mineralisation was the target of exploration in two adjoining areas which lie about 100 km north-northeast of Port Augusta and 55 km west of Hawker, on alluvial plains adjacent to south-eastern Lake Torrens. All of the...

Possible economic Neoproterozoic stratiform / hydrothermal copper mineralisation hidden under Mesozoic and Recent sedimentary cover was targeted in an area located approximately 95 km north-east of Andamooka. Aeromagnetic data interpretation of some...

An area covering parts of west-central Lake Torrens and Andamooka Island was taken up by Pima Mining because it was considered a strategic acreage acquisition, since it adjoins the southern boundary of the company's EL 2528 Andamooka already issued to...

During the 2009-2010 reporting period, work completed by Straits included: • participation in Native Title and Land Access activities and negotiations, which have constituted the majority of the work undertaken; and • Holding numerous meetings and...

Sustained recent attempts to locate economic Moonta - style copper mineralisation in Proterozoic basement in the vicinity of Bute township have been based on the presence there of a large regional aeromagnetic high, and on a past drilling discovery by...
