Under a joint venture agreement made between North Flinders Mines and Dampier Mining Co. (a BHP Exploration subsidiary), operative over the 7 square mile SML 705 between 14/9/1973 and 14/3/1974, at least 3500 feet of additional appraisal diamond...

As part of continuing exploration for possible economic buried stratiform / hydrothermal copper mineralisation in the Yudnamutana Mining Field, the target lower Callanna Group strata were geologically mapped, petrologically studied and geochemically...

Marathon Petroleum's exploration investigations of EL 871 during 1982 were aimed at a detailed follow-up of prospective horizons and geochemical targets located in 1981. Rock chip assaying of selected lithologies, in particular quartz-garnet/gahnite...

Ongoing base metal exploration in the Arkaroola Station region of the north-eastern Flinders Ranges by licensee North Flinders Mines (NFM) has involved reviews of certain existing prospects, which has led to the entry of farminee Shell Minerals...

As part of a regional search for economic small-scale deposits of rare earth metals in the Mount Painter district, geochemical prospecting revealed several atypically high background niobium values, in stream sediments derived from watercourses known...

Exploration disclosed widespread uranium mineralisation, with drill-indicated reserves of 6 million tonnes, at an average grade of 0.8 kg / tonne U3O8, existing in 5 major deposits. About 625 drill holes totalling 53,000 m tested these major deposits...

Beneficiation of a bulk sample of monazite ore taken from Monazite Hill, from an orebody containing in excess of 5 million tons of ore with a monazite content of 5-6%, yielded poor results.

Exploration for diamonds and base metals, 25 kilometres west of Mount Fitton, comprised an airborne magnetic-radiometric survey with heli-mag and ground follow-up, together with gravel, stream sediment, BLEG and soil sampling. Results indicated poor...

The East Painter uranium deposits were extensively explored by the South Australian Department of Mines during the period 1946 to 1950. Work accomplished comprised driving of five edits and drilling thirty four surface and underground diamond drill...

The uranium deposit discovered near Mt Shanahan was tested at depth by one diamond drill hole. Diamond drilling has proved unsuccessful in the recovery of lode material, but the radiometric log indicates a well defined anomaly at a depth of 51-54 ft,...

The stratigraphic problem of defining the lower boundary of the Adelaide System is discussed in relation to the geology of several critical areas in the Adelaide Geosyncline and adjacent shelf platform. The Precambrian stratigraphic succession and...

Mapping of the Wooltana Volcanic Belt in the northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia has shown that 2000 feet of Willouran trachytic lavas, with minor andesites and rhyolites, outcrop along the southern margin of the Mount Painter complex and...
