Rock chip sampling of Proterozoic hydrothermally much altered ?volcanic basement outcrop in the vicinity of Mt Miccollo, 50 km west-northwest of Iron Knob, returned anomalous Cu, Pb, Zn and As values. A pronounced circular aeromagnetic anomaly,...

Regional surface calcrete geochemical sampling undertaken across an area 70-100 km south-west of Tarcoola disclosed weak gold anomalism coincident in part with gravity and aeromagnetic features. Detailed follow-up sampling is warranted, because of...

Exploration in an area north of Fowlers Bay, for shear zone hosted Cu-Au mineralisation associated with emplacement of Hiltaba Suite granite plutons, comprised making a detailed regional geological interpretation, interpretation of SAEI regional...

Two areas located approximately 45-55 km west of Ooldea were explored for possible buried Olympic Dam - type base metal deposits in poorly known Archaean to Early Proterozoic basement beneath the Eucla and Officer Basin sedimentary sequences. A...

To obtain a broad overview of the regional structural setting, Landsat image interpretation was undertaken covering 200 000 square km. 2 lineament sets dominate the regional structural trends. Set A is aligned NE - SW and NW - SE, and appears to...

Exploration for possible diapir-related, discordant and stratabound sediment-hosted base and precious metals in an area located 32 km east-northeast of Cradock targeted an anomalous structural feature within Adelaidean metasediments, namely, a...

In a search for possible economic buried sediment-hosted, 'disseminated' style gold deposits formed within Neoproterozoic strata in an area located immediately south-east and east of Olary, reconnaissance 1:10,500 scale geological mapping and stream...

Exploration for trona and base metals was centred on the Marla region. Work included regional gravity and magnetic studies, acquisition of airborne magnetic and multi-channel radiometric data, with follow-up ground magnetic and gravity surveys,...

In eastern central Australia the development of a compounded broad epierogenic downwarp known as the Great Artesian Basin Permian-Mesozoic times was a secondary consequence of folding and thrusting in, and against, subcoastal zones of eastern...

9 widely spaced vertical percussion holes totalling 1340 m were drilled 30 km south-west of Anna Creek Homestead, to search for possible Early Permian coal seams in a relatively shallowly buried sub-basin at the southern end of the Boorthanna Trough....

SML 376 covers an old copper mining district located 10-15 miles east of Hawker in the central Flinders Ranges, which contains many small workings of low grade copper mineralisation developed in the core of a diapir-like structure known as the Worumba...

Detailed 1:1200 scale geological mapping on the existing prospect grid, plus geochemical and petrological studies of mineralised and host rock samples, suggest that the mineralisation at Mount McTaggart may be related to pneumatolytic metasomatism....

Ongoing exploration by the SA Department of Mines of the copper and molybdenum - mineralised Anabama Granite batholith, which is located 20 km south-east of Manna Hill, has involved detailed geological mapping, soil and rock chip sampling, and the...

Report is result of 2 years field and office research. Principal results are: (1) Little or no possibility of unmetamorphosed Cambrian shelf type sediments below the basin. (2) Upper Devonian - Lower Carboniferous sequence much thicker than previously...

Reviews coastline, lagoons, beach dunes, interdunal corridors, lunettes, drainage, zones of groundwater discharge, volcanic features, unconsolidated surface material, consolidated surface material. Geology is as follows: (1) Limestone extends NW from...

Close examination of large scale apparent folds in the vicinity of Wheal Ellen has led to the conclusion that apparent folds can be produced by a combination of jointing (shearing) and topography. Thus, apart from fault trace offsets, no importance...

Regional stream sediment sampling conducted over an area of historically prospective ?Archaean, Proterozoic and Palaeozoic rocks in the Mount Painter - Mount Babbage - Mount Livingstone - Yudnamutana area did not reveal any base or precious metal...
