During a seven-day period in March 2014, with funding drawn from the South Australian Government's PACE Frontiers mineral prospectivity promotion programme, a pioneer regional biogeochemical survey was conducted by the authors within the hitherto...

The Late Palaeozoic Cooper Basin is a major source of hydrocarbons and is especially important in providing the natural gas needs of much of south-eastern Australia. The basin is now a mature petroleum province, with more than 1200 wells drilled and...

South Australia is well recognised as being significantly enriched in uranium. During 2008/2009, South Australia produced 4 613 t of uranium, representing 45% of Australia's total uranium production of 10 311 t, and equating to 9.5% of the world's...

While looking for possible westward extensions to the Eurelia Kimberlite Province, Stockdale's stream gravel sampling for kimberlitic indicators, followed by ground magnetometer traversing and observation of vegetation anomalies, led to the discovery...

During January and April 1966, 10,611 feet of reconnaissance and infill percussion drilling plus 300 feet of auger drilling were carried out on SML 96, around the former Main Open Cut and Lagoon workings of the historic Mount Gunson copper mine, with...

Iron-oxide copper-gold mineralisation of the Moonta-Wallaroo or Olympic Dam style, hosted in Palaeoproterozoic rocks of the Moonta Sub-domain, was the target of exploration in an area located east of Port Broughton and south of Port Pirie on upper...

Olympic Dam style iron oxide hosted copper-gold mineralisation was the target of exploration in an area immediately south-east of Andamooka. Following geological and geophysical interpretations of available data, a soil sampling program and partial...

Iron-oxide copper-gold mineralisation of either Moonta-Wallaroo or Olympic Dam style was the target of exploration in an area lying immediately north of Port Augusta. A review of historic exploration data and an evaluation of new and historic...

Field inspection of an area of interpreted Recent uplift located between the Coober and Andamooka Precious Stones Fields failed to provide visible encouragement for finding fracture-related gold and base metal mineralisation.

Iron-oxide copper-gold mineralisation of either Moonta-Wallaroo or Olympic Dam style was the target of exploration in two separate areas located south of Port Pirie and east of Redhill. A review of historic exploration data and an evaluation of new...

Olympic Dam style iron-oxide copper-gold mineralisation hosted in Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic basement rocks of the Stuart Shelf, and Mount Gunson type younger Neoproterozoic sediment-hosted copper mineralisation, were the targets of...

Iron-oxide copper-gold mineralisation of either Moonta-Wallaroo or Olympic Dam style was the target of exploration in an area extending southwards and eastwards from Port Augusta. A review of historic exploration data plus an evaluation of new and...

Neoproterozoic glacial sedimentary units in the intramontane basinal valley located east of Leigh Creek and Copley, which were considered likely to contain possible geologically suitable palaeo-depositional sites for secondary uranium mineralisation...

High base metal values, particularly for zinc, that resulted from the sampling of pits and costeans at Eukaby Hill, led North to a close examination of the unremarkable calcareous siltstone host rock to find the cause of suspected syngenetic...

Background: Leaching of copper has been improved in many instances by the inclusion of bacteria in the leaching solution. If such a system could be applied to extracting copper from the many mine dumps of low grade ore that exist in South Australia,...

Exploration for possible buried Ernest Henry or Olympic Dam style copper-gold mineralisation in the Nuckulla Hill area, 120 km north-east of Ceduna, did not progress during the first two years of tenure due to uncertainties in selecting a new remote...

As part of a MESA-led reappraisal of the source rock potential of the Eringa Trough, Pedirka Basin, this study was commissioned to carry out an organic geochemical and petrographic investigation of coals and carbonaceous sediments from the margins of...

Olympic Dam or Moonta-Wallaroo style concealed iron-oxide copper-gold mineralisation hosted in Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic basement rocks of the Stuart Shelf, and Mount Gunson type younger Neoproterozoic sediment-hosted buried copper...

Following the conduct of an aerial radioactivity survey covering an area north-east of Olary, ground checking of 9 anomalies gave only average radiation readings. Radioactivity logging of water bores located in places where the sedimentary cover...
