A sequence of well-recrystallised quartzites, with interbedded schists and sandstones has been mapped on Cutana and Aroona Stations in the Olary area, during current production of the OLARY 1:250 000 sheet. The sequence, here termed the Cutana Beds,...

Exploration Licence 1258 "Mingary" was granted to Mount Isa Mines Ltd in November 1984. The area, of 1185 square km lying 40 km north-east of Olary, had been the subject of exploration of the Palaeoproterozoic metasedimentary basement for Broken Hill...

EL 2635, formerly EL 1976, straddled the Barrier Highway 25 km east of Olary. The licence covered ground initially taken up by MIM in late 1986, and all that company's work prior to mid 1994, with emphasis on investigating the Luxemburg - Premier...

Diamond drillcore obtained from the Luxemburg mine area, which was drilled by Sundowner Minerals Pty Ltd in 1969-70, was assayed and identified as consisting of altered pyroxenite, altered granitoids (adamellite, granodiorite, tonalite), and altered...

An aeromagnetic anomaly and nearby gravity anomaly identified in Palaeoproterozoic basement 17 km south of Mingary were tested for base metal mineralisation of Broken Hill or Olympic Dam type by performing a gravity survey and by drilling 7 percussion...

The Radium Hill uranium mine is situated in eastern South Australia, 90 km west-southwest from Broken Hill. Production of radium prior to World War I was followed by uranium production from 1954 to 1961. During this latter period 974,732 tons of ore...

Intensive shallow RAB and percussion pattern drilling of highly sheared and deformed Early Proterozoic granitoid rocks, seeking economic, low grade but large tonnage Rossing style deposits of vein-type uranium ore, particularly in association with a...
