Ongoing exploration for possible buried Olympic Dam-style Cu-Au-U mineralisation, conducted over an area of the Stuart Shelf located 15 km south-east of Arcoona Homestead, has comprised RC drilling (20 holes, aggregate penetration 1768 m) and diamond drilling (1 incomplete hole, interim total depth 418 m), plus detailed geological mapping, subsurface stratigraphic correlation aided by gamma ray wireline geophysical logging of percussion drillholes, and ground magnetic surveys of potentially ore-bearing aeromagnetic targets. Further low grade Cu/Zn values arising from finely disseminated syngenetic sulphide mineralisation were detected over an extensive area in the haematite/magnetite-rich Tregolana Shale, and on the base of Pandurra Formation erosional surface, where a highest copper value of 2240 ppm Cu was encountered in drillhole PEB-4, in a localised basinal setting. A promising uranium anomaly of up to 410 ppm U over 2 m was also intersected in drillhole PEB-13.
