Possible Cambrian sedex style base metal mineralisation within sulphide-rich units of the Talisker Calc-siltstone and Tapanappa Formation of the Kanmantoo Group was the conceptual target of exploration in the Tunkalilla Beach area of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula. Early stratigraphic interpretations, however, indicated that these prospective units were not present within the licence area. Because of the presence of nearby historic gold workings, attention shifted to vein-hosted gold as a more prospective target. Stream sediment geochemical sampling was the main exploration tool, supported by an interpretation of aeromagnetic survey data and limited rock chip sampling. Sample assay results highlighted several zones anomalous in gold, arsenic, bismuth, tungsten, cadmium or zinc, but in general the results were not sufficiently encouraging to serve to attract a joint venture partner.
