A gravity survey has located an area of anomalous low gravity values near Terowie at the intersection of linear NW-SE and NS trending gravity minima. It is interpreted to be caused by a shallow, steep sided, low density rock with surface dimensions of 500 metres x 1200 metres and depth extent of 2000 metres coincident with a NW trending LANDSAT lineament. Anomalous Nb, Cr and Ni values from 1 bedrock auger hole indicate a kimberlite dyke or sill which may represent an apophysis of a kimberlite pipe. Alternatively a diapir could be the source which would give the area potential for base metal mineralization. A 300 metre drill hole is recommended.
