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...

This report re-evaluates the assay data obtained from the 1979 stream sediment geochemistry programme carried out for Marathon Petroleum by N.J. Marshall and Associates within the Gunsight Project areas, and recommends follow-up work. Samples taken by...

A sequence of exploration programs in the Mount Painter Province, undertaken on Special Mining Leases since 1965, have been previously released. Exploration for base metals, gold, uranium and REE since 1974, in an area extending 50 km southwest from...

Diamond exploration undertaken north-west of Moolawatana included the acquisition of airborne magnetic / radiometric and ground magnetic surveys, plus soil, stream sediment, gravel, loam and rock chip sampling, and aircore/diamond drilling (25 holes,...

Skeleton 2 penetrated sediments of the eastern Lake Eyre Basin, the Frome Embayment, and granitic basement of the Mount Painter Ridge. The hole records the southernmost known occurrence of Cadna-owie Formation in the Frome Embayment. Unexpectedly,...

The Curnamona Province is exposed in the Willyama, Mt Painter and Mt Babbage Inliers, but much is obscured by younger sedimentary cover. It comprises a late Palaeoproterozoic metasedimentary and metavolcanic succession (Willyama Supergroup) with some...

Thirty three kilometres of high resolution seismic was shot in March 1991 on Moolawatana 1:100 000 map sheet, between Lake Crossing Bore and drill hole 588/6, southeast of Mount Hopeless. The project aimed to ascertain the tectonic character of the...

Mineralization is widespread both geographically and stratigraphically, but many areas are under-explored. Past exploration was generally focussed on copper. Further investigation is recommended in the following units and areas: . Cambrian - Hawker...

Continued investigation of a probable porphyry - type complex tin and base metal occurrence in the Prospect Hill area, at the far northern end of the Mount Babbage Inlier, has involved additional drilling and structural/petrogenetic studies of outcrop...

Continued evaluation of possible economic primary tin oxide mineralisation in the Prospect Hill area, 20 km north-west of Moolawatana Homestead, concentrated on infill channel geochemical sampling and mineragraphic/petrogenetic sampling of costeans...

The review reports in this data package present a synthesis of geochronological information for southern Australia, i.e. South Australia and geologically associated areas in New South Wales and Victoria. The data given represent the outcomes of much...

Possible accumulations of placer gold and other economic heavy minerals were the targets of exploration that was begun over an area of piedmont outwash alluvial fans formed at the northern extremity of the Flinders Ranges uplifted igneous basement....

Continued evaluation of possible economic primary tin oxide mineralisation at three known separate occurrences in the Prospect Hill area, lying 20 km north-west of Moolawatana Homestead, has focussed on the untested zone immediately below the known...

A very small area located adjacent to the north-western side of the Mount Babbage Inlier was purchased in order to explore the cover there for possible buried sediment hosted secondary uranium and tin mineralisation, besides looking for any economic...

TARGET: Tin and base metals in sheared Middle-Proterozoic volcanics and granites.EXPLORATION: Two percussion drillholes (50 metres and 48 metres) and 17 channel chip sampling lines spread over 1 km tested the lode at the Southern Ridge prospect....

Known fine-grained cassiterite vein mineralisation occurring at Prospect Hill was investigated via detailed geological mapping (at 1:1000 scale), ground magnetic surveying and the conduct of metallurgical testwork. Out of this work it was concluded...

Research was undertaken into exploratory activity literature submitted by previous tenement holders, and maps and detailed plans of Prospect Hill were acquired. Only minimal field work was undertaken.

Prospect Hill is South Australia’s best known tin occurrence, with an inferred resource of 172,800 t @ 1.15% Sn to 50 vertical metres estimated at the South Ridge prospect. Significant base metals are associated with the tin, and the mineralisation is...

Exploration for possible epithermal uranium and base metal deposits as part of Marathon's Gunsight Project, in the northern part of the Mount Babbage Inlier around Prospect Hill, comprised orientation and regional rock chip, stream sediment and soil...
