Since late November 2012, a number of areas in the northern central Gawler Craton and eastern Musgrave Province have been taken up by Woomera Exploration Limited (WEX), an unlisted public company, for the purpose of minerals exploration. Within the...

An area centred approximately 70 km east-northeast of Coober Pedy has been explored for possible economic buried IOCG-U type mineralisation. No field work was undertaken. Activities comprised in-house background research and a historic data...

An area centred ~140 km north-west of Tarcoola and ~20 km north of the Challenger gold mine has been explored for possible economic high grade occurrences of palygorskite (synonym attapulgite) clays which may have formed in Tertiary palaeochannels and...

Portions of a tenement located within the Nawa Domain basement rocks subcrop region of the northern Gawler Craton have recently been relinquished by Woomera Exploration (WEX) in order to meet exploration expenditure compliance conditions of its...

The iron-rich rocks of South Australia have been classified into six deposit types - residual, chemical sedimentary iron formations, Fe-skarn and, of lesser significance, hydrothermal, clastic and magmatic. Production has been overwhelmingly from...

A 2016 summary of iron ore opportunities within South Australia. Each mine, deposit or prospect has detailed resource information and a snap-shot of the associated companies at that time.

Gold: Gold mineralisation is widespread in South Australia and occurs in most geological provinces Copper: Many of the deposits in South Australia’s copper provinces are covered by a sequence of younger rocks that have effectively hidden many large...

Australia has a substantial allocation of the world’s uranium resources, especially defined under the lower risk RAR (Reasonably Assured Resources) metric. Australia hosts 29% of the world’s uranium resources (RAR and inferred) recoverable at...

Gold mineralisation is widespread and occurs in most geological provinces of South Australia. Gold in South Australia is obtained from two types of primary deposits - quartz veins (reefs or lodges) and deposits worked mainly for base metals from which...

South Australia’s copper deposits are held within three significant regions, Gawler Craton, Curnamona Province and the Adelaide Geosyncline, which host 3 producing mines, 4 developing projects and over 40 copper prospects. Many of the deposits in...

South Australia is the birthplace of the Australian iron ore industry. There are existing operational mines in the Middleback Ranges. There are a further two mines approved and twenty developing projects across the State with identified resources of...

The Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA) is a military testing range covering 122,188 square km of the land surface of central South Australia. Underlying it are highly economic minerals - prospective rocks of the Gawler Craton, a major province of the...

Exploration for possible economic iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposits formed in buried Archaean to Proterozoic basement of the western Mabel Creek Ridge has consisted only of desktop prospectivity studies carried out by a consultant....

A small part of a semi-regional gravity survey was acquired within the subject licence area by Eromanga Uranium, during its assessment of the IOCG mineralisation potential of a significant gravity anomaly lying on its adjoining EL 4019 Nicholson to...

To assist with exploration for possible buried large-scale deposits of iron oxide - associated copper-gold-uranium (IOCGU) mineralisation that may be related to significant coincident magnetic and gravity features identified within a west-northwest...

As part of exploration for possible buried economic IOCGU type mineralisation formed within the structurally complicated basement region lying north and north-east of Marla, a detailed ground based gravity survey was conducted for the licensee during...

As part of exploration for possible buried Proterozoic IOCG-U deposits in two small licence areas located approximately 50 km east of Marla, the only work carried out in the now relinquished licence portions was part of a gravity survey designed to...

Exploration of the buried Palaeoproterozoic basement rocks of the north-eastern Mabel Creek High for possible economic IOCG type mineral deposits has targeted geophysical features that the Anglo American - Goldstream Mining joint venture considered to...

There is no abstract created for this record

A large area (570 square km) located to the west of Dominion Gold’s Challenger gold mine (situated 25 km outside the EL 3775 eastern tenement border) has been taken up to explore primarily for possible buried economic roll front or unconformity type...
