An ongoing work programme has included the latter stages of: the drilling of over 180 percussion and diamond holes totalling 24,388 m, the collection and assaying of 35,000 geochemical samples, preparation of 1150 petrographic descriptions, and detailed geological mapping of over 550 sq km at 1:10,000 and 1:1000 scales. Exploration was for stratiform copper deposits developed in the Callanna, Burra and Umberatana Groups; for Olympic Dam type polymetallic deposits formed in or below unconformities at the base of the Callanna Beds; and for stratiform gold deposits occurring in lower Burra Group delta-front clastic sequences. Overall, this programme proved unsuccessful, although widespread stratiform copper mineralisation was found.
