Mineral exploration data from the Tarcoola region and held in the SADME open file system are summarized and anomalies or significant data highlighted. Projects generated are: - lead, zinc, copper or precious metal associated with regional discontinuities and geophysical anomalies, e.g. the Birthday Hill region; - stratiform sulphide or gold associated with BIF (banded iron formation) or cordierite-anthophyllite rocks in the Mount Christie area; - mineralization associated with gravity anomalies without coincident magnetic anomalies (Commonwealth Hill, Lake Barry); - comparison of surface geochemical anomalies in soil covered areas with the bedrock geochemistry, to determine optimum soil sampling fractions and to test anomalous areas. Targets generated are: - gold in drilling samples, which show alteration styles known to carry gold elsewhere, but have not yet been tested; - lead, zinc, copper etc. geochemical anomalies in samples not so far followed up; - heavy mineral accumulations at the base of Tertiary sand bodies (Ealbara channel); - carbonatites from geochemical data (Muckanippie), sample mineralogical descriptions or regional geophysical data (Mulgathing); and - platinum or diamonds in a layered mafic complex near Barton Siding.
