McArthur Basin Gravity (P198011), gravity point data

Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 This McArthur Basin Gravity (P198011) contains a total of 865 point data values acquired at a spacing of 500 metres. The data is located in NT and were acquired in 1980, under project No. 198011 for Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR).

L063 & L070 South East Georgina Basin seismic survey, QLD, 1963, 1970. Stacked seismic data and images for lines BMR63-L, BMR63-M, BMR63-U, BMR6364-E, and BMR6364-F

The Bureau of Mineral Resources carried out a total of .12 crew months of reconnaissance and experimental seismic work in the Boulia - Bedourie area of the southeastern Georgina Basin in western Queensland during 1963-1964. The results show that the Toko Syncline extends south-eastwards under Mesozoic sediments, alluvial cover, and sand at least as far as the Sandringham - Lake Wickamunna area. In the area east of Pulchera, Waterhole, the Toko Syncline was shown to contain up to about 15,000 ft of Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sediments and there was evidence of a considerable thickness of Proterozoic sediments beneath these. The cross-sectional shape of the Toko Syncline was defined, except for its western margin where results were poor and structure complex.

Seafloor bathymetry flythrough of Australia's Antarctic Territory

This flythrough presents seabed bathymetry compilations for the Australian Antarctic margin. 
The bathymetry data presented is derived from a combination multibeam, singlebeam and satellite data (namely ETOPO2). There are few areas of the Antarctic margin with high quality multibeam data, but where present, such as off the Davis coastline, these data reveal a complex seabed environment. Bathymetry data is a powerful tool for mapping seabed environments and predicting the potential distributions of biological communities. 
Images showing different types of seabed communities are included for the George V margin and the Davis coastline.

Murloocoppie Wintinna magnetic grid geodetic

Total magnetic intensity (TMI) data measures variations in the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field caused by the contrasting content of rock-forming minerals in the Earth crust. Magnetic anomalies can be either positive (field stronger than normal) or negative (field weaker) depending on the susceptibility of the rock. The data are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
This Murloocoppie Wintinna magnetic grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 87m). The units are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1991 by the SA Government, and consisted of 130600 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 100m terrain clearance.

Platinum-group elements in Australia: Geological setting, mineral systems, and potential

Editors; Hoatson, D.M. and Lewis, B.C. Authors: Hoatson, D.M., Miezitis, Y., Jaireth, S. and Huston, D.L.
The major aims of this report are to review the distribution, geological characteristics, resources, and potential of PGEs in Australia, and provide a mineral-systems-based framework for successful low-risk exploration. 
A mineral-system approach has been used to classify ~500 PGE deposits and occurrences documented in this report. This approach focuses on mineral-forming processes critical to the formation of a particular deposit. It differs from descriptive classifications in that it can be used to predict new areas and types of PGE mineralisation. The classification used is hierarchical in structure, with the highest-level category of deposits called 'Mineral-System Class'. There are twelve major classes that fall within the broad-mineral systems: Orthomagmatic (classes 1 to 7), Hydrothermal-Metamorphic (class 8), Regolith-Laterite (class 9), Placer (class 10), Astrobleme-related (class 11), and a final class with minor or unknown economic importance (class 12). 
This report concludes that, as seen globally, mineralised stratabound layers in Precambrian layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions in Australia are considered to have high potential for a major economic PGE resource. Such layers are attractive targets as they display: lateral continuity; have uniform grades (1 g/t to 6 g/t Pt+Pd+Au) and thicknesses; contain a significant component of the elements Pt, Pd, Rh, Au; and have potential for large-tonnage multi-element deposits (PGEs, Cr, Cu, Ni, Co, Au). Large Igneous Provinces may also provide opportunities for major economic PGE resource discoveries, despite the challenges of: defining favourable mineralised environments across large areas and under cover; lack of reliable geochronological and geochemical data for identifying different phases of the magmatic system; and a general perception that the global type example (Norilsk-Talnakh in Russia) may be a 'unique' mineral system.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sk50-11)

AUSGeoid98 data files contain a 2 minute grid of AUSGeoid98 data covering the Australian region, which you can use to interpolate geoid-ellipsoid separations for the positions required.You can use your own interpolation software, or you can use Geoscience Australia's Windows Interpolation software (Winter). The data files are text files in a standard format that cover the same area as standard topographic map areas. Files covering both 1:250,000 (approximately 100 x 150 km) and 1:1,000,000 (approximately 400 x 600 km) map areas are available. There is a 4 minute overlap on all sides of each area. Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places. AUSGeoid98 deflections of the vertical were computed from the geoid-ellipsoid separation surface, while the AUSGeoid93 deflections of the vertical were computed from OSU91A.

Eastern Creek Volcanics: their geochemistry and possible role in copper mineralisation at Mount Isa, Queensland

New chemical analyses of relatively low-grade metabasalt from the Eastern Creek Volcanics, 120-150 km north of Mount Isa, Queensland, show them to be continental tholeiites. A 2-stage model of fractional crystallisation is proposed to explain the major and trace element variation in the suite. The uncommonly high Cu content of the metabasalt (about 200 ppm) is attributed to concentration of an immiscible sulphide phase during fractionation. Examination of all available chemical data has led to the recognition of 5 types of alteration. The Cu content is depleted in metabasalts that are anomalously enriched in K2O, MgO, or CO2, but is not affected in metabasalt enriched in CaO or Na2O. This Cu depletion supports earlier models that attribute Cu mineralisation at Mount Isa to leaching of Cu from the Eastern Creek Volcanics and its redeposition in favourable pyritic, dolomitic sediments of the Mount Isa Group. The ore localisation has been associated with brecciation and appears to depend on the juxtaposition of the Mount Isa Group and the Eastern Creek Volcanics largely by faulting.

1994 Barrow and Dampier Sub-basins Airborne Laser Fluorosensor (Mk III) Survey Interpretation Report

The Barrow/Dampier airborne laser fluorosensor (ALF) survey was flown in May 1994 using the ALF MkIII system. This system uses a 266nm laser wavelength, shorter than the 308nm used in the MkII system. The Raman peak wavelength is 293nm and the fluorescence region is 320nm to 580nm. Approximately 20,000km of data was acquired in a NW-SE direction with a line spacing of 1000m. The survey covers several oil and gas fields including Goodwyn gas and condensate field, North Rankin gas field, Cossack and Wanaea oil fields, Legendre oil field and the Wandoo heavy oil field. Several additional lines (10010 to 10140) were flown over part of the Goodwyn field and these were separated during the initial analysis. This avoided the closer line spacing affecting the fluor patterns on the regional mapping. The 14 Goodwyn lines contain 117,558 spectra. The data was re-interpreted using ALF_Explorer software, which showed that several low intensity fluor clusters could be identified on the Barrow/Dampier ALF survey. These clusters should be compared with geological interpretations to determine their cause. The wide 1km line spacing may be too wide to identify any higher intensity fluor clusters. Fluor spectra shapes are unusually consistent over this survey. This is reflected in the fluor peak wavelength map (Figure 11). The Goodwyn ALF survey with a 500m line spacing detected many more fluors than the regional survey, including many of higher intensity. The Goodwyn survey does not cover a wide enough area to show if the fluor clusters are associated with accumulations.

Ararat Ballarat potassium grid geodetic

The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th). The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
This radiometric potassium grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 83m) and shows potassium element concentration of the Ararat-Ballarat merge, 1990-1992 in units of percent (or %). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1990 by the VIC Government, and consisted of 51328 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 200m and 400m, and 100m terrain clearance.
