TARGET: To define lignite in the Wilkinson Lakes lignite deposit which is of a composition that would be suitable to undergo carbon beneficiation and/or coal liquefaction processes; also, any economic oil shale occurrences and/or sedimentary uranium...

Ongoing exploration for possible buried Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, conducted over an area of the Stuart Shelf located 15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, has comprised RC drilling (20 holes, aggregate penetration 1768 m) and diamond...

Areas around Woomera and extending to the north, to around 30 km west of Olympic Dam, were explored for concealed base metal deposits of Olympic Dam - type. Trace stratabound lead and zinc mineralisation (sphalerite and galena - few thousand ppm) had...

Evaporite minerals in black shale at the base of the Early Cretaceous Bulldog Shale near the western margin of the Eromanga Basin were the target about 50 km NE of Coober Pedy. Reconnaissance mapping, soil sampling, auger drilling and the backhoe...

Exploration for possible economic buried Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au mineralisation, undertaken over an area located 15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, comprised preliminary airphoto interpretation and surface geological mapping, outcrop sample...

The exploration target for stratabound base metals in the Red Lake area, which lies just to the east of Pernatty Lagoon and abuts the Arcoona Plateau, was the top of Pandurra Formation erosional surface. Percussion (17 holes totalling 2619 m) and...

The map has been prepared on the INTERGRAPH system as a final digitized draft map, but is not included with the report.

This project, initiated and managed by SADME, aimed to improve in-house methods of petrophysical log analysis in order to more reliably estimate producible gas reserves in the Moomba and Big Lake Fields, via more accurate estimation of reservoir...

The southern half of Lake Frome salina, centred about 80 km south-southeast of the Beverley uranium mine, has been explored for possible commercial quantities of dissolved lithium and uranium. Interest in the former commodity was engaged by the...

During the sixth year of tenure of the Warramboo licence, now held by Adelaide Exploration Limited as renewed EL 2846 covering the same 1363 square km area as before, the only exploration-related activity which occurred was the acquisition during...

Field work performed on the subject tenement during licence Year 8 included the conduct of Aboriginal heritage clearance surveys by the APY Traditional Owners to grant access for geological mapping and the acquisition of a trial seismic survey, as...

Twelve licence areas owned and operated by Gold Fields Australasia (GFA), comprising two subareas respectively located approximately 50 km east of Burra and 15 km south-east of the Benda Range, on the eastern edge of the Adelaide Fold Belt, are being...

Laboratory analysis of 18 samples of groundwater seepage brine collected from Lake MacFarlane during June-July 2016 indicated that the lake was unlikely to host an economically viable potash resource, and therefore the mineral exploration licence...

Banded iron formation (BIF) rock outcrops and an associated 15 km long aeromagnetic anomaly located about 20 km west of Iron Baron were chosen by Centrex Metals as high quality targets deserving of exploration for economic iron mineralisation...

Exploration of an area with poor basement outcrop located approximately 40 km north of Tarcoola, primarily sought possible fault or breccia-hosted mesothermal gold +/- base metal mineralisation in likely multiphase Mesoproterozoic felsic volcanic and...

Development of the Prominent Hill copper-gold deposit in the Mount Woods region will require an adequate source of water to support planned mining and ore processing operations, currently estimated to involve at least 6 million tonnes of ore per year....

The Marree Project consists of four adjacent exploration licences, ELs 3574, 3577, 3578 and 3579, which together cover 3909 square km. Work performed on the project was governed by the Eromanga Basin joint venture agreement made between Eromanga...

A tenement in the Coulta district of south-western Eyre Peninsula has lately been explored by International Metals, after its prior research had outlined seven areas there as being of prime interest in a search for Archaean greenstone units which...

Much of the eastern side of the very large, 5,745 square km saline playa Lake Torrens, which occupies one of the most arid parts of Australia, was taken under licence by a Northern Territory - based company with the intent of systematically sampling...

An ADI funds grant of ~A$152,400 has been provided to Alligator Energy to assist it with conducting further greenfields exploration for in situ recoverable secondary uranium mineralisation that may have formed within Tertiary cover sediments in the...
