In late 1999, the South Australian Government approved the purchase of 1000 square km of land in, and adjacent to, the Gawler Ranges, for the creation of the Gawler Ranges National Park. This land has significant mineral potential, and has been subjected to ongoing mineral exploration company interest. Copper-gold, silver-lead-zinc, uranium, heavy mineral sands, graphite, kaolin and building stones are some of the commodities which have been recorded in the area, and have the potential to occur as economic deposits.
