Aquitaine Australia Minerals Pty Ltd (Aquitaine) entered into a joint venture with North Flinders Mines on 21 August 1975, over an area defined by Exploration Licence 272 (ex EL 153). The area included two main prospective zones for copper deposits:...

Uranium mineralisation was first discovered at the old Shamrock Copper Mine during a systematic search of old mine dumps by the South Australian Department of Mines in 1955. Follow-up investigations located a small high-grade uranium lode (Valley...

Outcropping Wywyana Formation in the Mount McDonnell Valley, which had been shown by past work to be highly anomalous in copper, with attendant gold enrichment, was targetted by 50 m by 20 m grid-based geological, geochemical and ground geophysical...

10 secns. 7 holes, TD 3516 ft.

The original objectives of this project were: 1) To understand the processes responsible for transporting, concentrating and fixing copper and other ore constituents during sedimentary basin evolution 2) To document the various stages and paragenesis...

In a search for possible economic roll-front, blanket style uranium deposits within Tertiary sediments in part of the eastern Frome Embayment, the licensee undertook 1:75,000 scale geological mapping and exploratory auger drilling of the Quaternary...

Ongoing exploration for economic base and precious metals in the Blue mine area at the eastern end of the Umberatana Syncline has comprised detailed, 1:5000 scale prospect mapping, preparation of a preliminary new tectonic and structural analysis...

Investigation of basal Adelaidean Callanna Beds metasediments in the vicinity of the Blue mine and Wheal Turner, north of The Needles in the northern Flinders Ranges, sought to disclose possible Zambian type stratiform massive copper sulphides...

Geochemical soil sampling in the Yudnamutana area, between the smelters site and the Cockscomb mine, has outlined two distinct copper anomalies. One anomaly lies within the boundary of the Wywyana Formation, while the other lies along the contact...

Afmeco's Mount Fitton EL 4531 is located on the southern border of the Mount Babbage Inlier in the northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia, about 125 km north-east of Leigh Creek. The Mesoproterozoic Yerila Granite, which is known to contain highly...

The enigmatic Radium Ridge Breccias (Drexel and Major, 1987) of the Mount Painter Inlier in the northern Flinders Ranges have fascinated geoscientists since the first major attempt to understand the geology during and immediately after World War II....

The CALLABONNA map area includes the southern end of the Strzelecki Desert and the north- eastern Flinders Ranges, between latitudes 29° to 30° S and longitudes 139° 30' to 141° E. Cameron Corner adjoins New South Wales and Queensland in the...

Exploration for possible stratiform massive base metal sulphide deposits in the area of the historic Yudnamutana Mining Field, located 12 km north-west of Mount Painter, was designed to follow up promising copper geochemical anomalies and related...

Base metal and gold exploration undertaken over a lengthy period since 1980 in the Yudnamutana Hill area, 20 km north-west of Arkaroola, has comprised detailed geological mapping of major basement and cover stratigraphic units and known mineral...
