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...

Detailed geological and structural mapping of Samin's partly excavated new Burra open cut was performed by the author at a scale of 1:480 during the period December 1972 to end of January 1973. By the latter date the pit had been excavated downwards a...

The north-south trending Benagerie Ridge, lying within the South Australian portion of the Curnamona Province 120-160 km to the west-northwest of Broken Hill, contains a number of magnetic complexes, some of which can be interpreted as domal...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Exploration for possible stratiform or hydrothermal, fault-associated copper deposits in the area of basal Adelaidean metasediments lying to the north of known such mineralisation at the abandoned historic Ukaparinga mine, immediately north of...

Airborne and ground magnetic surveys were conducted in the Bundulla area of the Nullarbor Plain (SA), prior to drilling a prominent circular aeromagnetic feature. 2 percussion/rotary mud holes, each drilled to TD 369.5 m, penetrated crystalline...

Stratiform base metal sulphide deposits and sedimentary uranium accumulations were targeted in the Stuart Creek area, which straddles the Torrens Fault on the eastern margin of the Stuart Shelf. Two airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys totalling...

A reassessment of Marathon Petroleum's 1979 regional stream sediment sampling programme led to the decision to resample a number of areas within EL 871. The Mt Neill and Mt Fitton areas were chosen, as a result of possible similarities with the...

Scout drilling of gravity low anomalies in the western half of the buried Permian Wallira Trough (2 rotary mud holes totalling 100 m), in a search for possible economic Upper Permian coal seams which might extend westward from those discovered in the...

Targets of ongoing subsurface investigations in the plains area north-west of Lake Frome, now being conducted under a new joint venture, were respectively to delineate further sedimentary uranium occurrences within buried Middle and Late Tertiary...

In a continuation of diamond and base metal exploration of newly discovered carbonatite / kimberlite intrusive bodies in an area located immediately north of Orroroo, these bodies were examined petrographically and analysed to compare their...

Marathon Petroleum's exploration investigations of EL 871 during 1982 were aimed at a detailed follow-up of prospective horizons and geochemical targets located in 1981. Rock chip assaying of selected lithologies, in particular quartz-garnet/gahnite...

In order to further test a large Delamerian granite pluton for its potential to host an economic porphyry molybdenum deposit of the Climax, Colorado type (following initial exploratory drilling and IP surveys that had been carried out by the SA...
