Supplementary gravimeter traverses have been run over the strong Bungalow aeromagnetic anomaly to further define it. Earlier in the year a percussion drilling programme was carried out over the same area. In the light of both sets of results it is...

A permanent gravity base station network was established in the Coober Pedy / Tarcoola area of the State. 58 new base stations and a number of company surveys were tied to the Australian Fundamental Gravity Network (AFGN) via Isogal stations at...

Exploration for possible economic Early Proterozoic stratabound Pb-Zn-Ag deposits of Broken Hill type, and for Olympic Dam style, Middle Proterozoic Benagerie Ridge volcanogenic sediment - hosted, epithermal / hydrothermal Cu-Au-Mo(-U) occurrences of...

As part of a regional search for possible economic buried Olympic Dam type IOCG-U deposits emplaced along the north-eastern margin of the Gawler Craton, adjacent to the Peake and Denison Inliers, Barrick Gold has acquired infill helicopter-borne...

Bimbowrie EL 3278 is located within the Palaeoproterozoic Olary Domain of the Curnamona Province, South Australia. The property is prospective for a variety of mineralisation styles including granite batholith primary (hard-rock) uranium, Broken Hill...

Buried Palaeozoic basement, considered as being geologically possibly analogous to the Mount Read Volcanics, was the target of exploration for gold and base metals in the vicinity of the Naracoorte Caves, 12 km south-east of Naracoorte. A ground...

Exploration and evaluation of two large, outcropping willemite zinc orebodies, previously discovered in the Puttapa area by other parties, has been commenced under tenure of Mineral Claim 5092 newly taken up by SML 153 licensee Electrolytic Zinc Co....

Approximately 61% of a small licence area located immediately north-west of the Olympic Dam deposit has been relinquished under the terms of the Lake Torrens Project Amalgamated Expenditure Agreement. Only minimal work has been performed on the...

In the search for Mount Gunson type sedimentary copper, 4 deep exploratory diamond drillholes (out of 22 totalling over 5000 m) intersected subeconomic mineralisation at the target base of the Sturtian Tapley Hill Formation (best value 3 m @ 1.55% Cu...

TARGET: Native sulphur associated with possible salt dome structures, the locations of which were interpreted from past petroleum exploration seismic reflection surveys. EXPLORATION: A detailed gravity survey, and 2 rotary/core drillholes totalling...

As part of its economic appraisal of the previously discovered Third Plain willemite occurrence, Pasminco conducted a small test gravity survey (69 stations read along three lines 1 km long and spaced 100 m apart) across the mineralised outcrop and...

Five semi-detailed gravity traverses run over a 2 mGal regional anomaly on EL 186 near Pandurra Homestead have indicated that the residual smaller anomalies are probably related to basic igneous intrusions and volcanic flows, rather than to the...

This survey, conducted between September 1946 and December 1947, had two objectives: - to locate, if possible, an area in the Frome Embayment containing structural features which might be favourable to the accumulation of natural gas; and - to...

During renewed tenure, under two sequential licences, of an area located 60 km east of Woomera, exploration has continued to seek possible buried economic copper mineralisation of Mount Gunson or, preferably, Olympic Dam type. New work has included...

This gravity survey portion laid out 2870 stations on the Lake Frome Plains, east and north-east of Reaphook Hill, to confirm and determine the extent of a postulated deep structural trough lying adjacent to the eastern flank of the northern Flinders...

Airborne and ground geophysical surveys undertaken in the Millers Creek area failed to give encouragement for follow-up drilling in a search for Olympic Dam type haematitic breccias.

Gravity surveys were made in December 1960 over areas of ferruginous and siliceous laterite in the Mount Davies region, where a sill-like body of basic and ultrabasic igneous rocks, the Giles Complex, intrudes Archaean metasediments. Secondary nickel...

Four gravity traverses, each about 8 km in length, have been undertaken at Warripi near Tarcoola. The survey was requested by the Nissho-Iwai Company to help define the granitic basement surface. A comparison of the gravity values with drillhole...

Five geophysical traverses have been made across an elongate regional gravity low centred on Durkin Outstation on the Mulgathing pastoral lease, in order to try to locate and outline the shape and depth of a previously discovered palaeochannel incised...
