Outcropping Wywyana Formation in the Mount McDonnell Valley, which had been shown by past work to be highly anomalous in copper, with attendant gold enrichment, was targetted by 50 m by 20 m grid-based geological, geochemical and ground geophysical...

Previous geophysical interpretation reports of regional geophysical data for the Mount Painter Province have been reviewed, and any available source data has been examined afresh to try to generate additional exploration targets. Unfortunately, many...

Ongoing exploration for possible Tertiary sediment-hosted roll front uranium occurrences in an area abutting western Lake Frome has consisted of the drilling of 7 open rotary holes for a total of 1384 m, to test ground midway between previously...

Drilling of 3 rotary mud holes totalling 392 m on gravity lows in the Mabel Creek area disclosed only thin seams of lignite at about 66 m depth. Because the holes were not geophysically logged, the coal seam thickness could not be ascertained....

Results of water bore sampling (7 samples) and drilling of 6 holes totalling 614 metres were disappointing. The drill holes intersected Adelaidean and Cretaceous sediments underlying Tertiary ? - Quaternary fluviatile sediments, without encountering...

Drilling of a 196 m deep vertical diamond hole to further investigate the oil shale potential of Permian strata in the axis of the Boorthanna Trough, north of Billa Kalina Homestead, intersected only Lower Permian glacial sediments below 30 m thick...

Within the surrendered sections of the subject exploration licences in the Karoonda, Marmon Jabuk, Swan Reach, Blanchetown and Cooke Plains areas, following the conduct there of a 45.4 line km gravity survey and the drilling and geophysical logging of...

Roxby Downs - type base metal deposits, potentially associated with linear and discrete magnetic anomalies of unknown origin in the basement, were the prime targets of exploration in an area extending between Koonalda and Hughes, adjacent to the SA/WA...

In a search for possible Proterozoic - Cainozoic unconformity - related, concealed sedimentary uranium deposits in an area of the Eucla Basin located 60 km north of Fowlers Bay, 42 rotary mud drillholes totalling 1432.4 m were put down on 5 traverses...

In a search for possible economic primary or secondary uranium deposits in the Rudall area, five streambed mud samples and 2 springwater samples from the Driver River drainage basin were analysed for Central Pacific Minerals by the Australian Atomic...

Ongoing exploration for economic sedimentary uranium deposits in the Lake Callabonna region involved further reconnaissance rotary mud drilling and well geophysical logging (9 holes, total 3195 feet) to evaluate radiometric anomalies found in...

TARGET: Uranium in Tertiary sediments in the vicinity of Lakeside Bore. EXPLORATION: 2 vertical rotary mud holes for a total of 1044 feet were drilled and geophysically logged during September 1972. RESULTS: The radiometric logs did not show...

10 secns. 7 holes, TD 3516 ft.

Continuing exploration for possible buried economic Tertiary sediment-hosted uranium deposits in the vicinity of Ifould Lake consisted of ground truthing of aerial radiometric anomalies by scintillometer surveys and chemical analysis of auger...

Following an airborne magnetic/radiometric survey, two rotary percussion holes totalling 819 m were drilled on negative magnetic anomalies to reach pre-Mesozoic basement (gabbro and meta-sandstone) in the Koonalda area of the Nullarbor Plain. No...

TARGET: Sedimentary uranium associated with high order radiometric anomalies over lakes on the edge of the sand dune country, east of the Nullarbor Plain. EXPLORATION: Closely spaced (300-500 m), low level (65 m altitude) aerial scintillometer...

TARGET: Roll-front type uranium in Tertiary sediments. EXPLORATION: 82 rotary open drillholes totalling 47,003 feet, and 2 confirmatory partly cored holes totalling 949 feet (125 feet cored). All drillholes were geophysically logged. RESULTS:...

Surface copper carbonate mineralization occurring along a presumed shear zone was initially discovered some 4 miles southwest of the Parabarana Cu prospect by North Flinders Mines in late 1971, during a programme of detailed geochemical stream...

TARGET: Sediment-hosted uranium mineralisation. EXPLORATION: 12 vertical rotary mud drillholes were completed for a total penetration of 1992 m in the Christmas Well and Caldina areas, west of Lake Frome. RESULTS: No downhole radiometric anomalies...
