An area centred approximately 60 km south-southwest of Woomera was taken up to explore the IOCG mineralisation potential of an isolated, oval-shaped regional gravity anomaly called the Evelyn Dam prospect, which licensee Archer Exploration thought...

On 21/11/1986, Western Mining Corp. (WMC) signed a joint venture agreement with PNC Exploration (Australia) Pty Ltd [a subsidiary of the Power and Nuclear Fuels Corp. of Japan], whereby PNC can earn up to 25% equity in EL 1338 by funding exploration...

A small area centred ~50 km west of Port Augusta was taken up to explore for possible buried epigenetic and structurally controlled gold mineralisation in Archaean and Proterozoic basement rocks. The target was related to a 3.5 km long, >3 ppb Au...

An area located between Pernatty Lagoon and the south-western end of Lake Torrens is being explored for possible economic buried IOCG type mineralisation that may have formed in the Mesoproterozoic basement near the eastern margin of the Gawler...

Three separate licence areas located within 50 km of Olympic Dam, and a fourth (Halifax Hill) located 150 km north-west of there, have been explored for possible economic buried IOCG-U mineralisation that may be hosted by Mesoproterozoic basement...

An area located immediately south and east of Woomera township has been acquired to search for possible buried economic stratabound deposits of copper or other metals that may have formed in the Neoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic cover sequence of the...

Woocalla EL 3744/4725, comprising two small licence sub-blocks, is located near to but to the south and south-east of the historic Mount Gunson stratiform copper mining field. Licensee Gunson Resources has been in joint venture there with Noranda...

A small area located outside of and adjacent to the northern boundary of the Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA) Continuous Use Zone (Red Zone) has been explored for possible buried IOCG mineralisation that might be associated with the flanks of a major...

Possible buried Proterozoic IOCG-U deposits that may have formed in two small licence areas located ~50 to 65 km east of Marla were the targets of renewed exploration, based on a re-interpretation of existing regional geophysical data. It had been...

A small area located east of Lake MacFarlane has been explored for possible economic Mount Gunson type sediment-­hosted copper deposits, unconformity style uranium mineralisation and IOCG-­U style volcanic breccia deposits. The only activities...

An area centred approximately 110 km north of Port Augusta, covering part of the Pernatty Ridge plateau on the south-western side of Lake Torrens, approximately 145 km south-east of the Olympic Dam mine, was taken up to explore for possible economic...

In March 2010, once the terms of the joint venture agreement had been finalised, Argo passed its complete data sets to Xstrata, who immediately commenced a re-logging of Argo's drill cores besides conducting comprehensive unconstrained 3-D modelling...

An area centred approximately 50 km south of Woomera, near the Oakden Hills, is being explored for three separate types of mineralisation: • stratiform copper mineralisation similar to that of the world-class Central African Copper Belt and White Pine...

A north-south elongated, narrow licence area centred ~30 km north of Whyalla and covering ground inland adjacent to the Lincoln Highway, has been taken up to explore for possible economic buried stratiform/stratabound, Mississippi Valley type...

Approximately 66% of the former area of the subject licence has been surrendered in two separate portions together totalling 104 square km, due to perceived diminished prospectivity for possible buried Proterozoic IOCG-U deposits. During March 2015,...
