In the central Flinders Ranges, Neoproterozoic and early Palaeozoic rocks are found outcropping within a series of broad, open, dome and basin-shaped folds. This region contains most of the diapiric structures in the Adelaide Geosyncline, many, but...

PEL 41 was granted to a deliberately SA-based new venture exploration company consisting of Chairman and well-known Emeritus Professor of Geology Eric Rudd, four other founding honorary and unsalaried directors, and 100 or so individual speculative...

Exploration for possible economic Olympic Dam - type epithermal/hydrothermal or Zambian Copperbelt - type stratabound/replacement base metal deposits, in an area located approximately 40 km south-east of Yunta, focussed on magnetic anomalies and...

Ten glacial megaclasts, unique perhaps from a global perspective, have been identified in the half-graben rift of the MacDonald Corridor. The MacDonald Corridor is the most easterly of four half-grabens containing Neoproterozoic low-grade...

The Pualco Range is 45km south-south east of Yunta, South Australia, and contains the type section of the Precambrian Pualco Tillite, 3300m thick, characterised by massive tillite with quartzite beds. This forms the base of the Adelaidean Umberatana...

The banded iron formations associated with various tillite in South Australia have been recognised as being potential sources for iron however the low-grade nature of these bands has been one of the limiting factors in why they have not been...

Former sheep station ‘Bimbowrie’, situated in the Olary Ranges, South Australia, was purchased by the South Australian Government as a conservation park in 2004. It has had a long history of mining, mineral exploration and geoscientific investigation....

RC drilling (22 holes, total 1322 m) was carried out at the historic Anabama and White Rock copper prospects, 60 km south-east of Mannahill. A resource of 4.2 Mt @ 0.52% Cu was inferred within an oxidised zone present above 80 m depth, but subsequent...

No new work was done. A partial relinquishment of 41% of the original licence area was made in December 1996. A desktop assessment made of the licence area's prospectivity consisted of a review of available aeromagnetic, radiometric and TM data,...

As part of exploration for sheeted vein, stratabound Telfer style and banded iron formation hosted Homestake style gold and base metal deposits in metasediments of Adelaidean age, a programme of soil auger drilling and calcrete sampling conducted 20...

The purpose of this interpretation is to provide an initial framework for the basement to the Murray Basin upon which to plan the Geological Survey of South Australia’s MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative drilling project targeting the Delamerian...

Ongoing exploratory RAB bedrock drilling of 302 shallow holes totalling 1919 m, over an area located approximately 40 km south-east of Olary, has shown that the Pegline Dam prospect is not base metal mineralised, and that the source of an IP anomaly...

In a search for possible diamonds and their kimberlite hosts that was undertaken within a large area centred ~60 km east of Peterborough, a preliminary literature review and photo-lineament analysis was conducted, next leading to field reconnaissance...

Possible intrusive Proterozoic salt bodies beneath the Blinman, Upalinna, Martins Well, Mt Hemming, Willippa and Bibliando Domes were investigated by field mapping, including the construction of measured outcrop stratigraphic sections, seismic...

An area centred ~45 km east-southeast of Hawker was taken up to explore the stratabound, epigenetic copper resource potential of historic small copper workings located along a NW trending fault zone disrupting Adelaidean metasediments of the Burra and...

A small licence comprising two separate sub-blocks located 4 km and 22 km south-east of Winnininnie on the Barrier Highway has been explored for possible buried economic, epithermal/hydrothermal structurally controlled copper-gold mineralisation that...

An area covering the western end of the historic Anabama copper prospect in the Benda Range, south-west of Manna Hill, has been explored for possible buried economic, epithermal/hydrothermal structurally controlled copper-gold mineralisation that may...

A large area located immediately south and south-west of Olary has been explored initially for possible economic buried primary epithermal to mesothermal copper-gold and gold only mineralisation that might have formed in Adelaidean and older bedrock,...

Exploration for possible concealed porphyry style Cu-Au deposits of a kind similar to the nearby Blue Rose prospect surface skarn occurrence was undertaken over an area of the eastern Nackara Arc, 50 km south-east of Yunta. Work comprised inspection...
