During the period December 1989 to March 1990, exploratory drilling undertaken by SADME Mineral Resources Branch over the northern part of Kangaroo Island investigated the potential for base and precious metal mineralisation within rocks of the...

The Cygnet-Snelling Fault Zone on Kangaroo Island is a fundamental structure that both influenced sedimentation during the Cambrian, and refined the boundary between major tectonic provinces during the Delamerian Orogeny. It is coincident with the...

The framework of Kangaroo Island was largely established during the Cambrian, when widespread marine sedimentation resulted in thick accumulations of shallow shelf to deep marine terrigenous sediments. Orogenesis has deformed the strata into an...

Crystalline basement of the Gawler Craton continues further southwards than previously interpreted, extending under northern Kangaroo Island. Depths to basement range from 200 metres near Emu Bay, and approximately 250-750 metres inland from Cape...

Approximately 10% of the area of EL 4581 has been relinquished upon its renewal for a second licence year. The only activities performed on this ground have been the acquisition of portions of ground gravity and airborne magnetic/radiometric surveys...

Exploration licence 5973 “Bonaventura Project” is in the Cassini area approximately 30 km west of Kingscote Kangaroo Island. The project lies on the southern margin of the Gawler Craton and covers a 40 km section of the Cygnet-Snelling Shear Zone....

There is no abstract created for this record

Exploration for possible economic buried syngenetic / stratiform base metals mineralisation that may have formed in the Parndana area of Kangaroo Island consisted of the acquisition of an airborne EM/magnetic (GEOTEM) survey covering abandoned old...

5 drillcore samples of Early Cambrian Mount McDonnell Formation shallow marine mudstone intersected by SADME stratigraphic drillhole Investigator 2 on Kangaroo Island between 139 and 505 metres depth KB were analysed geochemically to determine their...

17 samples of Early Cambrian Mount McDonnell Formation shallow marine mudstone outcropping on the northern coastline of Kangaroo Island near Hummocky Point were analysed geochemically to determine their source rock richness and thermal maturity, and...

As part of a search for Mississippi Valley type base and precious metal mineralisation associated with a major regional fault structure, an area of Kangaroo Island located approximately 25 km west of Kingscote was taken up by Monax Mining to cover any...

Monax Mining has being exploring since May 2005 along a 40 km stretch of the hinterland to the central-northern coast of Kangaroo Island, searching mainly for possible economic gold, silver and Mississippi Valley type base metal sulphide...

Two project tenements enclosing a nearly 40 km long section of the deep-seated, east-west trending Cygnet-Snelling Shear Zone have been explored for possible economic gold and base metal sulphide mineralisation. A number of historic mine workings and...

No work was undertaken on EL 4530 Western River Cove during the whole 4-year term of its tenure. EL 3088 Western River was purchased from Havilah Resources by Monax Mining in July 2005, and formed part of Monax’s package of tenements included in the...

An area in the vicinity of Parndana, located on north-central Kangaroo Island approximately 30 km west-southwest of Kingscote, is being explored mainly for possible economic gold and Mississippi Valley type base metal sulphide mineralisation...

Diamond exploration which was undertaken across practically the whole of Kangaroo Island, barring national and conservation parks and reserves, sought to test the potential of the island to contain kimberlite pipes and / or associated rock types, and...
