TARGET: Metamorphic and hypogene iron ore, and latterly, epigenetic base metals, associated with pronounced local magnetic anomalies in the Mount Woods area. EXPLORATION: Reconnaissance geological mapping and sampling of the Mount Woods ?Archaean...

Exploration for possible economic large, low grade copper deposits within an area centred 30 miles south-east of Yunta has consisted of reconnaissance surface geophysical surveys which trialled a number of methods, followed by a brief geological...

Geological reconnaissance identified discontinuous quartz reefs along a strike length of 1.6 km, which yielded up to 21 oz/ton Ag and significant Bi content. Subsequent gridding, geological mapping, soil sampling and VLF EM geophysical surveys...

Ongoing exploration of the stratiform syngenetic base metal potential of copper-mineralised Late Proterozoic volcaniclastic sediments subcropping in the core of the Carrieton anticlinal structure, has concentrated mainly on drilling to confirm the...

The potential for finding remnant economic stratiform gold mineralisation in the Mannahill Gold Field was investigated by examining the old surface and underground mine workings, and the best-developed ore shoots were tested by drilling 25 vertical...

A small area of the northern Flinders Ranges surrounding the Nichols Nob copper occurrences was explored for possible economic massive stratiform copper deposits, targeting the known mineralised Yudnamutana Subgroup metasediments. Work comprised a...

In a continuation of the evaluation of the Mucatoona copper prospect, assaying of RAB drill cuttings samples returned no metal values of note. Mineragraphic studies of the primary copper mineralisation occurring in the Adelaidean black shale facies...

Exploratory diamond drilling (3 holes, total 2061 feet) of good geochemical/IP anomalies lying along strike under the old Dome Rock copper mine workings failed to encounter economic copper or other mineralisation, with narrow (2-3 feet wide) and...

During early 1970 BHP investigated an area on Roopena Station, 20 miles north-northwest of Whyalla, for possible late Meso- to early Neoproterozoic stratiform copper associated with the basal Adelaidean unconformity. Previously, interesting minor...

Regional geochemical surveys have been conducted by North Broken Hill over 490 square miles covering the northern and central Peake and Denison Ranges, within two new exploration licences which the company took up in 1966 after a private prospector...

Examination of potentially economic stratiform copper mineralisation recorded in the Paratoo area, located approximately 60 km north-east of Peterborough, has found that it occurs within Adelaidean shales and siltstones over the apical hinge zone of a...

Appraisal of the historic Spring Creek copper mine area, located approximately 8 miles south-southeast of the township of Wilmington, commenced with an IP survey of the immediate mine site, where the lode outcrops over some 20 feet in weathered...

Geological mapping plus minor soil sampling and IP surveying carried out over the Kokatarra Shear Zone located near Pine Ridge, 23 km east of Kenmore Park Homestead, defined IP and geochemical anomalies lying adjacent to this structure. Test diamond...

In a search for possible concealed stratiform base metal deposits associated with haematitic jaspilites and quartzites in the Cleve Uplands area, extensive rock chip, float and residual soil sampling traverses were followed by geochemical sampling of...

Initial renewed company exploratory work at the Wheal Ellen mine locality has included surveying of old workings, aerial photo interpretation and ground checking, reconnaissance soil and bedrock sampling, and extensive IP surveying which defined many...

At the joint request of the South Australian Department of Mines and Broken Hill South Ltd, Amdel was engaged to evaluate the possibilities of treating remnant ore known to exist both underground and in dumps at the Kapunda mine (where an estimated 6...

A substantial part of the central and southern Adelaide Hills, in the vicinity of the margins of Archaean basement inliers, was taken up by a Tennant Creek (NT) - based gold mining company to explore for possible buried economic gold and base metal...

Continuing exploration of the area near Olary, primarily for undiscovered near-surface lodes of economic copper and silver minerals, has involved mainly a close inspection of several old abandoned mines and limited surface geochemical sampling of...
