Stratabound, chemically precipitated Telfer - type replacement style vein gold was the target of exploration undertaken over an area 25 km north-west of Yunta, which contains good exposures of Neoproterozoic Umberatana Group clastic metasediments that...

Copper and gold exploration comprising outcrop, stream sediment and soil geochemical sampling, and the conduct of ground magnetic and IP surveys, plus RC percussion (67 vertical holes, total 6624 m) and diamond cored tail drilling (in 2 holes, total...

The Clare 1-mile mapsheet area is situated about 70 miles north of Adelaide, South Australia, in partly hilly agricultural and pastoral country. The oldest Adelaide System (Proterozoic) rocks are the phyllites, quartzites and dolomites of the River...

Very tight folding and remobilization of the Sturtian Holowilena Ironstone has produced a massive ironstone blow and small lenses of micaceous haematite. The haematitic quartz rock is not suitable for pigments, and lenses of haematite of pigment...

Investigations consisted of: 1) economic appraisal, mapping and sampling of mineralised structures within mineral leases; 2) regional investigation to east of Mount Grainger mine (report in RB 84/31) - includes details of exploration by Abignano Ltd....

In mid 1892, a 10 head stamp battery was constructed about 4 km NE of the Countess of Jersey gold mine. Reportedly 300 tonnes of ore from the mine was treated at the battery, but no records are available. Recent hand auger sampling and surveying of...

Prospecting and sampling were carried out in search of hydrothermal alteration zones similar to the Mount Grainger gold mine. Survey shows that anomalous gold values could be detected up to 500 metres in streams from known gold mineralization with 20...

Aim was to test the northerly drainage between the Teetulpa and Waukaringa Goldfields for fine grained gold mineralization, and over small anticline south of Ajax Mine in the Black Hill Bore area. 90 samples were collected. No anomalous gold or silver...

An appraisal of Mineral Claim 2597 at the Golden Slope workings on the Mount Grainger Goldfield has revealed gold mineralization associated with hydrothermally altered basal arkosic sandstone of Appila Tillite and the underlying Burra Group shale. A...

Basal Umberatana Group glacial tillitic sedimentary sequences and upper Burra Group interglacial arenaceous sediments were explored for possible economic stratabound gold mineralisation in an area located about 10-40 km north-west of Burra. In the...

Exploration for possible economic secondary deposits of copper, uranium and gold that might be associated with known iron-rich sediments deposited at or near the base of the Sturtian sedimentary sequence, carried out within four tenement areas that...

During 2007-2008, the first year of the diamond exploration joint venture with the Filsell brothers in the Paratoo area, Flinders Mines' activities comprised: • acquiring part of a detailed helicopter-borne infill aerial magnetic ('helimag') survey,...

The 5 tenements cover 3240km2 of pastoral grazing land centred approximately 45 km northeast of Peterborough within the Orroroo SI54-01 and Olary SI54-02 1:250 000 sheets, in north central South Australia. The Mt Grainger Project Area lies within the...

An area centred ~40 km east of Peterborough in the vicinity of Mount Grainger Goldfield has continued to be explored for possible small diamondiferous kimberlite bodies and for buried economic stratabound, structurally controlled and disseminated...

Extensive literature and geological and geochemical field investigations of historic mines and prospects at the Mount Grainger and Oodla Wirra Goldfields have failed to disclose any remaining economic gold occurrences. The sparse native gold occurs...

An area with known small barite occurrences, that surrounds Eudunda township, was held for 3.5 years without any on-ground work being done.

Exploration over a structurally complex part of the Nackara Arc region centred ~30 km north-east of Peterborough has sought economic Telfer-type gold deposits hosted within folded domal structures in Adelaidean strata, which have been intruded during...

A small area extending north-south between Mount Grainger and Oodla Wirra, which at its northern end surrounds the historical mine workings of the Mount Grainger Goldfield, has been explored for possible sediment-hosted gold, after the licensee used...

An area located on the edge of the ranges north-east of Burra, and centred 20 km east of Whyte Yarcowie, is being explored for possible primary orogenic gold associated with a prominent fold flexure in Adelaidean metasediments that is exposed in the...

An area centred ~35 km north of Yunta is being explored for possible buried primary hydrothermal gold deposits within Neoproterozoic bedrock, as part of a broader search for same in a region which has significant surficial gold deposits which were...
