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...

Ongoing base metal exploration in the Arkaroola Station region of the north-eastern Flinders Ranges by licensee North Flinders Mines (NFM) has involved reviews of certain existing prospects, which has led to the entry of farminee Shell Minerals...

This report summarises the relevant results of previous copper exploration in the Yudnamutana Hill area by Utah Exploration Co. and Australian Aquitaine Petroleum Pty Ltd, and suggests an ongoing exploration programme for stratiform copper. It also...

The Ukaparinga and Southern Hills prospects lie within EL 99, a small exploration tenement located near the Warren Reservoir, 20 km south-east of Gawler. The included Ukaparinga mine area is privately held under three mineral claims, over which...

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...

As part of a regional diamond and kimberlite exploration programme, 50 drainage and loam samples were collected for heavy mineral analysis from within the two areas being relinquished, which lie respectively 50 km NW and 40 km NE of Kingoonya. No...

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...

An area 100 km north of Kingoonya which exhibits a strong regional gravity high and other, intersecting pronounced crustal geophysical features was acquired to search for an Olympic Dam type of base/precious metals deposit. Semi-detailed and detailed...

Thirty-two shallow auger holes up to 2.76 m deep were drilled into the floor of Lake Cadibarrawirracanna, situated 70 km west of William Creek, in a search for possible potash-rich brines trapped by the lake sediments. The lacustrine sediments were...

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...

An extensive exploration programme for lead-zinc mineralisation of Mississippi Valley style, targeting a horizon lying within Lower Cambrian carbonate metasedimentary units, was undertaken over an area located 35 km north of Hawker. Initial...

Two inclined percussion holes were drilled at the Mount Mitchell tin prospect for a total penetration of 504 feet. The aim was to test a discrepancy between subsurface sample negative tin assay results obtained by the Department of Mines, and good...

Detailed follow-up to earlier regional stream sediment sampling, which had disclosed several robust kimberlitic garnet indicator anomalies in relatively featureless terrain, was successful in discovering three outcropping thin kimberlite sills in the...

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...

A small area located 15 km north-east of Beltana was explored for possible economic stratabound or epigenetic/hydrothermal base metal deposits associated with Adelaidean and Cambrian calcareous/dolomitic strata and Willouran diapiric structures. Work...

A consultant's detailed regional geological study of the northern Willouran Ranges, and then his very close examination of the apparent controls on known diapir-related exposed epigenetic / stratabound copper mineralisation, have identified three...

During the current licence term Aquitaine conducted ongoing evaluation of its recent placer scheelite mineral discovery near Keyneton, south-east of the Barossa Ranges. Additional field reconnaissance, rock chip sampling and petrological study, much...

Exploration of an area located approximately 10 miles north of Manna Hill, seeking possible economic Zambian Copperbelt style stratabound copper deposits, has consisted only of an orientation geochemical survey followed by field inspection of...

No kimberlitic indicator minerals or diamonds were detected in heavy mineral samples collected from the Jumbuck area, about 130 km south-west of Coober Pedy.

Reconnaissance and detailed bulk loam sampling undertaken to look for diamonds or kimberlite indicator minerals in the vicinity of the Pualco Anticline, plus spectrographic analyses of the derived heavy mineral concentrates for gold and base metals...
