Exploration in the Curramulka and Pine Point areas on east-central Yorke Peninsula targeted Olympic Dam style iron oxide - associated copper-gold (IOCG) deposits related through contact metasomatism to Hiltaba Suite equivalent granites. A gravity survey was conducted 5 km north of Curramulka and followed-up by the drilling of 2 holes totalling 132 m of percussion precollars and 344 m of diamond cores. Drill core sample assaying returned elevated but not significantly anomalous Cu, Zn, Ni, La, and Ce. Rock chip samples collected from the wave-cut platform and cliff face at a site 3 km north of Pine Point yielded 31-340 ppm U and a maximum of 152 ppm Cu.
