The availability of adequate water supplies is crucial to future development, particularly in the arid areas of the State. Primary Industries and Resources South Australia (PIRSA), as part of the Spencer Regions Strategic Water Management Study, has...

All 4 rotary mud drill cuttings samples examined from parts of the precollar hole depth interval 64 m to 148 m are Late Eocene - Oligocene in age.

A tenement area located close to and along the eastern seaboard of the Eyre Peninsula, and which extends from Whyalla southwards for approximately 60 km, has been taken up to explore for possible economic buried primary, hard rock hosted uranium and...

An area of the northern Cowell Hills was taken up to explore for possible economic basement-hosted copper-gold mineralisation of epigenetic style, analogous to that found at the Ernest Henry deposit, which may be associated with magnetic anomalies and...

A small area centred ~60 km south-west of Whyalla and ~37 km north-northeast of Cowell, which lay along the fault scarp at the edge of the western Spencer Gulf coastal plain, has been explored for both primary and secondary uranium deposits. Targets...

A small area centred on the Murninnie locality of north-eastern Eyre Peninsula, south of Whyalla, was taken up to further evaluate secondary uranium mineralisation known to occur on the western margin of the Tertiary Pirie Basin, where it is contained...

A partial relinquishment of ~50% of the previous area of EL 6350 has been made to comply with licence renewal and expenditure conditions, with 35 square km of the southern sub-block being relinquished, now reducing its area to 11 square km. The...

No field work was undertaken during licence Year 7, but Stellar instead did a review of the Cowell area's prospectivity for Tertiary palaeochannel-hosted sedimentary uranium mineralisation. Previous drilling data for the local Pirie Basin sediments...

During licence Year 10 to 6th November 2012, exploration work undertaken by JV partner Renaissance Uranium (RNU) comprised the drilling of five rotary mud-diamond drill holes targeting five local geophysical anomalies within the Glensea Prospect,...

The exploration targets in an area extending along the Spencer Gulf coastal plain between Cowell and Whyalla were sandstone type roll-front uranium deposits, developed in possible Eocene palaeochannels that may have drained the Cleve Uplands and...

Within a small relinquished area that is centred about 37 km north-northeast of Cowell, along the fault scarp at the edge of the western Spencer Gulf coastal plain, exploration for uranium has concentrated on identifying possible IOCG type...

The area of the Mullaquana Exploration Licence 3652 is underlain by a circular aeromagnetic anomaly which has been interpreted as being potentially a Hiltaba Suite granite pluton that may be the source of the uranium mineralisation recently discovered...

During August 2006, Australasia Gold acquired a 45% interest in the historic abandoned Murninnie copper mine (Private Mine 156) and a surrounding small exploration licence (EL 3542), which are located ~30 km south-southwest of Whyalla. In July 2007,...

The PORT AUGUSTA 1:250,000 mapsheet area covers the north-eastern part of the Eyre Peninsula, the northern Spencer Gulf and the south-western Flinders Ranges, and extends from latitude 32°00'S to 33°00'S and longitude 136°30'S to 138°00'S. The main...

The revised digital geology map of the Cultana 1:100 000 map sheet and accompanying geological descriptions in this report are the first components of the 2nd edition PORT AUGUSTA 1:250 000 map sheet to be completed. The subject map sheet occupies the...

The target was lignite or oil shale hosted by Tertiary sediments possibly preserved on top of a series of tilted fault blocks bordering the western shoreline of Spencer Gulf, due south-west of Whyalla. 29 vertical rotary mud drillholes (total 2729...

The PACE Geochronology program fosters collaboration on projects of geological and metallogenic significance with focus on dating rocks and minerals from samples suggested by companies through a competitive proposal-based selection process. Successful...
