Report presents the basic data and geochronological age interpretations for 89 K-Ar and 64 Rb-Sr isotopic analyses, made on metamorphic, granitic and volcanic rock samples derived from parts of the Musgrave Block visited by SADME geologists between...

ABMINGA lies on the eastern edge of the Musgrave Block, which consists of Early to Middle Proterozoic gneisses and granites, intruded by dolerite dykes. A small area of folded and faulted Adelaidean and Cambrian sediments lies in the SW corner....

The Musgrave Block is a large area of Precambrian crystalline basement situated in the north-western corner of South Australia, and extending into Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Geological mapping has revealed large areas of granulite...

Twenty eight wells were drilled. Five of 12 wells put down for the Amata cattle project were successful, 3 being completed in weathered rock aquifers and 2 in fractured fresh rock aquifers. Drilling on narrow photo-linears gave poor results, whereas...

Mimili is an aboriginal community in the Everard Ranges supplied with groundwater from 2 wells tapping fractured gneiss. Salinity is about 1000 mg/L, and shows no sign of increasing. Both nitrate and fluoride are high. This is typical in this region...

Eight wells were drilled in the Pitjantjatjara Lands in SA, 10 in adjacent aboriginal lands in WA and 1 in the NT. In the Musgrave Block the best yields were obtained by drilling deep weathered zones on sizeable fault lines such as the Mann Fault....

EL 2777 Claude Hills covers 1370 square km and is located at Surveyor General’s Corner (the SA, WA, NT State borders' triple point) and consists of 3 blocks. Early SADME work (1966) delineated 4.6 Mt of 1.5% Ni at the nearby Claude Hills/Mount Davies...

A licence area located in South Australia's Far North-west Aboriginal Lands, and centred approximately 20 km to the south-east of the Surveyor Generals Corner at the borders of Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory, has been...

Cu-Au-U prospects associated with shear zones and Kulgeran age granites have been identified in an area approximately 60 km north-west of Marla. Best assay results were obtained from the Indulkana Shear Zone, where rock chip sampling returned up to...

Field work performed on the subject tenement during licence Year 8 included the conduct of Aboriginal heritage clearance surveys by the APY Traditional Owners to grant access for geological mapping and the acquisition of a trial seismic survey, as...

An area comprising three adjacent but separate sub-blocks in the Mount Davies district of the central Musgrave Ranges within South Australia was taken up afresh by the Metals X Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary Austral Nickel Pty Ltd, because...

89 K-Ar and 64 Rb-Sr geochronological analyses of various selected samples of crystalline basement lithologies were made to date the major tectonic events of the Musgrave Block.

The major part of the subject 134 square km total area of tenement ground relinquished from EL 5184 on 23/9/2017 contains the Michael Hills copper prospect (Area 11). A large portion of the remainder of the surrendered ground, in a separate block...

The Musgrave Block is a Precambrian crystalline basement feature about 750 kilometres long (east-west) and 270 kilometres wide (north-south) that includes the north west province of South Australia and adjacent areas of Western Australia and Northern...

The multi-licence Mithril - Barrick JV Musgrave Project area is centred 600 km south-west of Alice Springs, within the APY Lands of north-western South Australia. It is considered to be prospective for buried economic Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide mineral...

After two years of negotiation with traditional owners and the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Land Council, the Geological Survey Branch of PIRSA's Minerals, Petroleum and Energy Division (MPE) commenced stratigraphic drilling on the 15th May 2002, in the...

The results of a 1982 State-wide hydrogeochemical survey showed the Musgrave Block to be anomalous and potentially mineralised. In 1997 a groundwater quality survey was undertaken for the remote communities in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands. Water...

An aeromagnetic / radiometric survey was carried out 40 km east of Granite Downs Station Homestead, over the easterly extension of structural features within the Musgrave Block. Although the resulting interpreted basement depths there were regarded...

Exploration of an area in the eastern Musgrave Ranges located 80 km north of Marla and 65 km south of the SA/NT state border, and which straddles the Stuart Highway, has sought to find possible Giles Complex - hosted magmatic nickel sulphide and...
