36 reverse circulation drillholes totalling 1448 m (average depth 40.2 m) were drilled to determine the bedrock geology and geochemistry below sedimentary cover, in selected locations on the KINGOONYA 1:250,000 mapsheet area that had been recommended for such an investigation following SADME's compilation and appraisal of all available geological and geophysical data. The actual drilling coverage was not extensive, and drilling at one locality failed to reach bedrock, but nevertheless, some anomalous bedrock geochemistry was encountered, including: - molybdenum associated with hydrothermally-altered Hiltaba Suite micro-granite, and with Tarcoola Formation quartzite. - base metals and gold associated with the Gawler Range Volcanics, and with dolerite and andesite layers within Tarcoola Formation black shale. - gold, zinc and rare earths associated with basalt and acid volcanic layers within the Labyrinth Formation. The aeromagnetic anomalies that were tested by drilling appear to be due to basaltic layers having potential for associated volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralisation.
