A re-investigation of the remnant mineralisation potential of the Ediacara Mineral Field has involved a review of SA Department of Mines' (SADM) diamond drillhole data, the selective re-sampling of diamond drill core intervals for assay, detailed geological mapping (1:6000 scale) of abandoned mine workings and their environs within the Cambrian inlier, and a reinterpretation of IP data acquired by SADM, which led to the running of check IP profiles across certain anomalies which appear to have their sources within the Parachilna Formation. Most of the IP anomalies were confirmed, but at a weaker magnitude, suggesting that the probability of finding additional lead-silver enriched zones within the dolomite is diminished. Although there remains probable good potential for finding large quantities of primary copper mineralisation at depth in the southern part of the inlier, the lack of surface evidence to support choosing firm targets for diamond drilling led to the licensee deciding to surrender the ground.
