This 5-day field excursion was mounted by the GSSA to inform government and industry participants about significant newly identified geological features within the central Gawler Craton which are the subjects of ongoing study. The itinerary chosen...

An area located 40 km south-west of Tarcoola was taken up to explore primarily for possible economic buried sedimentary uranium mineralisation within the Tertiary cover sequence, and secondarily for epithermal/hydrothermal copper-gold deposits or for...

In December 2005 Mithril Resources completed five RC percussion drillholes totalling 682 m on three 100 m - spaced traverses, as one of the approved PACE Initiative Year 2 subsidised drilling projects. This drilling was intended to test a surface TEM...

The principal mineral exploration target for Endeavour Copper Gold Pty Ltd ('Endeavour') on the three subject Tarcoola Project exploration licences is nickel sulphide mineralisation hosted by Archaean ultramafic intrusive rocks within the Harris...

An area centred ~17 km south-east of Kingoonya has been explored for possible buried IOCG deposits that could relate to the very large "Shellback" regional magnetic anomaly located in the south-eastern Kingoonya district. Farminee AngloGold's...

An area surrounding the township of Kingoonya and straddling the Trans Australia Railway line, that comprises six tenement sub-blocks,has been explored for possible economic occurrences of buried Tertiary roll-front style secondary uranium...

An area centred ~45 km south-west of Tarcoola is being explored for possible buried epithermal/hydrothermal copper-gold and magmatic copper-nickel-PGE mineralisation which could have formed within Archaean and Proterozoic basement rocks. During the...

An area centred ~25 km south-southwest of Tarcoola is being explored for possible buried epithermal/hydrothermal copper-gold and magmatic copper-nickel-PGE mineralisation which could have formed within Archaean and Proterozoic basement rocks. During...

A large part of the Harris Greenstone Domain basement tectonostratigraphic block, extending from 10 km to 130 km west of Kingoonya, is being explored for possible buried economic gold, nickel and other base metal mineralisation which may be associated...

During the fourth year of project licences' joint reporting, for the Theseus Project, Endeavour undertook further RC and diamond core drilling at the Minos prospect on EL 5280, and did detailed auger calcrete geochemical sampling over the Lake...

This regolith material hand specimen atlas displays 246 images of 212 regolith samples which have been collected over the last 30 years by the authors, present and past Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA) staff and members of the Cooperative...

This bulletin contains geochronological data and interpretations from the Gawler Craton of South Australia that have been completed by Mark Fanning of The Australian National University, by Geological Survey of South Australia personnel, and by...

An area centred approximately 30 km south-west of Tarcoola has been explored primarily for possible economic shear-hosted or epithermal/hydrothermal IOCG style Proterozoic gold, and for inferred Archaean magmatic nickel deposits associated with...

An originally large licence area centred approximately 70 km south-east of Tarcoola, which lies on the north-western margin of the Gawler Ranges and includes the north-western part of Lake Everard, is being explored for possible buried gold deposits...

Following on from the highly successful Gawler Craton - State of Play 2002 conference held by PIRSA in Adelaide in December 2002, the Gawler Craton Team of PIRSA's Geological Survey Branch has recently undertaken a major excursion across the craton....

Reconnaissance investigations of outcropping rocks of the western and central Mulgathing Complex reveal a series of pelitic and psammitic sedimentary rocks, interleaved with generally mafic to intermediate composition meta-igneous lithologies. The...

Komatiitic greenstones were first recognised in South Australia from drillcore at Lake Harris on the Gawler Craton by Mines and Energy SA personnel in 1991. Subsequent petrography and detailed aeromagnetic data interpretation led to targeted drilling...

Transported regolith and deeply weathered basement together conceal large tracts of prospective crystalline basement (cratonic and geosynclinal rocks) in South Australia, and such cover forms a major exploration impediment for much of the Gawler...

The subject field excursion performed in August-September 2000 in part mimicked that held by the GSSA during September 1997, but included 6 additional stops programmed for Day 1 (31st August 2000) to examine Archaean geology at the southern tip of...

In September and December 2004 Mithril Resources completed 53 vertical aircore and reverse circulation drillholes on Exploration Licence 2842 as part of the SA Government's PACE Initiative 'Theme 2' collaborative drilling programme involving PIRSA...
