In a search for East Alligator River - type metamorphic uranium deposits, a review of previous geophysical data plus the conduct of ground and airborne radiometric surveys disclosed a number of anomalies in an area on central Eyre Peninsula extending...

Exploration was undertaken for lode and alluvial tin mineralisation which might exist within ground adjacent to the abandoned Mount Mitchell tin mine, and also for reef gold in altered granite and dolerites outcropping adjacent to the numerous small...

Report on radiometric prospecting on EL 867 Very low uranium anomalism is associated with the Katunga Dolomite; no Middle Proterozoic overburden is located within EL 867. The anomalous alkaline syntectonic granites are of deep origin and faulting and...

Acquisition and interpretation of an airborne scintillation spectrometer survey, and the unhindered drilling and gamma and electric logging of 16 rotary open holes (total 3242 feet), were undertaken. Lower Tertiary non-marine palaeochannel sand...

Little work was undertaken on this licence, 50 km south of Watson Siding because of disappointing results on an adjacent area.

Exploration licence 871 Area B contains Adelaidean sediments of the Callanna Beds, Burra Group and Umberatana Group overlying the Carpentarian Mount Painter Complex. The area is being investigated for stratiform copper mineralisation within the above...

Gunsight prospect was discovered in the late 1960s during the follow-up of anomalous copper detected by a stream sediment survey. In 1972-73 Dampier Mining Pty Ltd drilled eleven percussion holes (totalling 537 m) and eleven diamond holes (1764 m)...

Ongoing exploration for sedimentary uranium deposits and other radioactive minerals, in the plains area north-west of Lake Frome, consisted of the drilling and geophysical logging of 56 rotary holes for a total of 29,708 feet. Drillhole 355-1, which...

3 holes were drilled. Lignite was sampled and tested for wax, but this was of poor quality.

Under a joint venture agreement made between North Flinders Mines and Dampier Mining Co. (a BHP Exploration subsidiary), operative over the 7 square mile SML 705 between 14/9/1973 and 14/3/1974, at least 3500 feet of additional appraisal diamond...

In a search for possible economic Permian coal seams buried at the southern end of the Boorthanna Trough of the Arckaringa Basin, the Petromin joint venture consortium selected an area to drill where it was inferred that such coal might lie within 300...

A re-investigation of base metal geochemical anomalies detected during Electrolytic Zinc Co.'s former stream sediment and rock chip sampling programme conducted near an historic copper-lead mine prospect at Mount Chambers in the eastern Flinders...

New work undertaken on an area located near Manunda Homestead during the current licence period has been restricted by the need to try to attract a joint venture partner, efforts towards which have proved unsuccessful. A geological inspection of the...

Airborne magnetic/radiometric surveys and follow-up gravity surveys carried out in a search for possible Olympic Dam type orebodies have indicated depths to magnetic basement in excess of 1000 m in the Lake Hart area of the Stuart Shelf. The...

Detailed mapping at 1:3600 scale of a small study area near the centre of the licence, and located about 10 miles north-west of Radium Hill, indicates that most mineralisation is concentrated in the post-Proterozoic sequence, and appears largely to be...

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:...

In a search for economic Tertiary brown coal in the south-eastern Murray Basin, a large reconnaissance drilling programme was undertaken during February-April 1981 to test known carbonaceous sediments reported as encountered by previous drillholes and...

Drilling of two percussion holes (aggregate 400 metres) near Yerila, south of Lake Blanche, failed to give encouragement to the search for possible Permian coal and Tertiary uranium in the southern Eromanga Basin / Lake Blanche Lineament uplift area...

XRF analyses of 25 selected samples of halite interbedded with Early Cambrian strata, which had been taken from stored Wilkinson 1 drill core and cuttings, returned a maximum value for contained bromine of 470 ppm Br. This result was not of enough...
