Preliminary geophysical report on Waterhouse uranium prospect No.4, Northern Territory

The prospect covers an area originally enclosing three first order and one second order anomaly located by the Airborne Scintillometer Survey if 1952. Preliminary ground investigation was carried out in October 1952 and is contained in 'Preliminary Report on Airborne Scintillometer Surveys by N.H. Fisher and J. Sleiss'. Carborne equipment was first used to locate the anomalies and determine their extent in July, 1953. An Auster aircraft carrying a Halross scintillometer also flew over the area at the same time locating a high only near the first zone. This was carried out by the Territory Enterprise Limited. A survey grid was laid down to serve both the geological and geophysical work. The base line runs north-south for 3,300 feet and traverse lines run across it at 100 ft. intervals. The detailed radioactive survey covered the whole area. Traverse lines were read at 300 foot intervals in the outer sections where closer work was not warranted. The work commenced in August and was completed in October 1953.

GSNSW Southern Darling Basin dose rate 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. The terrestrial dose rate grid is derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids. A low pass filter is applied to this grid to generate the filtered terrestrial dose rate grid.
This GSNSW Southern Darling Basin dose rate grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00082 degrees (approximately 84m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Southern Darling Basin Airborne Survey, NSW, 2005. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2005 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 18763 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Predictive Mineral Discovery Cooperative Research Centre - extended abstracts from the June 2004 Conference

The Predictive Mineral Discovery Cooperative Research Centre (pmdCRC) was established under the auspices of the Australian Government's Cooperative Research Ventures Program in 2001. The purpose of the pmdCRC is to generate a fundamental shift in mineral exploration practive and cost-effectiveness by developing a vastly improved understanding of mineralising processes and a four dimensional understanding of the evolution of the geology of mineralised terranes.
Specific ovejectioves of the pmd*CRC are to:
&#149; Contribute to the resolution of the key areas of uncertainty in current models for the formation of major economic mineral deposit types within mineralised terranes that have a high exploration priority.
&#149; Build 3D and 4D images and histories of well known mineralised systems.
&#149; Create a computational environment to simulate the 4D evolution of mineral systems with the goal of developing predictive capabilities for the location and quantity of superior ore deposits.
&#149; Transfer these concepts, skills and technologies into the mineral exploration industry to assure a long-term competitive advantage to the industry.
The partners in the pmd*CRC are
&#149; CSIRO Division of Exploration and Mining
&#149; Geoscience Australia
&#149; James Cook University
&#149; Monash University
&#149; University of Melbourne, and
&#149; University of Western Australia.

Eucla, WA, 2010 (Eucla Basin 5S) (P1224), magnetic line data, AWAGS levelled

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.
 These line dataset from the Eucla, WA, 2010 (Eucla Basin 5S) survey were acquired in 2010 by the WA Government, and consisted of 80425 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 200m and 200m, and 50m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data. This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS.

Tropical Cyclone Vance – 20 years on

Severe TC Vance was one of the most intense cyclones to impact mainland Australia. The observed damage to buildings could be explained in terms of structural performance of those buildings. Combining the structural vulnerability of housing with an estimate of the maximum wind gusts, we can explore the possible impacts that a repeat of Vance would cause in Exmouth, and compare the outcomes with what occurred in 1999. The analysis of the impacts of TC Vance on present-day Exmouth shows that very few houses would be completely destroyed. Not surprisingly, older houses (pre-1980’s construction era, excluding the US Navy block houses) would dominate those destroyed, and most likely the timber-framed style houses, many of which were substantially damaged in TC Vance.

Great Artesian Basin - Cadna-owie Hooray Aquifer - Deuterium

Data used to produce the predicted Deuterium (Hydrogen-2) map for the Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer in the Hydrogeological Atlas of the Great Artesian Basin (Ransley et.al., 2015).
There are four layers in the Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer  Deuterium (Hydrogen-2) map data
A. Location of hydrochemistry samples (Point data, Shapefile)
B. Predicted Concentration (Filled contours , Shapefile)
C. Predicted Concentration Contours (Contours, Shapefile)
D. Prediction Standard Error (Filled contours , Shapefile)
The predicted values provide a regional based estimate and may be associated with considerable error. It is recommended that the predicted values are read together with the predicted error map, which provides an estimate of the absolute standard error associated with the predicted values at any point within the map.
The predicted standard error map provides an absolute standard error associated with the predicted values at any point within the map. Please note this is not a relative error map and the concentration of a parameter needs to be considered when interpreting the map. Predicted standard error values are low where the concentration is low and there is a high density of samples. Predicted standard errors values can be high where the concentration is high and there is moderate variability between nearby samples or where there is a paucity of data.
Units are Deuterium (Hydrogen-2) as D VSMOW.
Coordinate system is Lambert conformal conic GDA 1994, with central meridian 134 degrees longitude, standard parallels at -18 and -36 degrees latitude.
The Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer  Deuterium (Hydrogen-2) map is one of 14 hydrochemistry maps for the Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer and 24 hydrochemistry maps in the Hydrogeological Atlas of the Great Artesian Basin (Ransley et.al., 2014).

Unconformity-Related Uranium Systems: Regional Scale Constraints

The presentation covers the following:
- uranium occurrences widely distributed but Major Deposits are localised in specific zones/fields
- &gt; 90% of U resources confined to one field
- need to go beyond the components (source, pathway, trap) of mineral system to explain the distribution of U endowment; 
hence the presentation will: 
    - focus on the Architecture of the system
    - to delineate important regional constraints.

Integrated geophysical appraisal of crustal architecture in the eastern Lachlan Orogen

Forward modelling of potential field data, combined with new geological mapping and deep seismic reflection transects acquired by the Australian Geodynamics Cooperative Research Centre (AGCRC), has led to testing of robust crustal architectural models for the eastern Lachlan Orogen of New South Wales. This integrated analysis has led to new subsurface inferences unlikely to be deduced solely from any of the individual datasets used. The overall Palaeozoic history of the eastern Lachlan Orogen implied by the integrated analysis of geophysical and geological datasets, involves: formation of an Ordovician oceanic island arc; early Silurian thin-skinned east-directed overthrusting of a continental backarc basin over the arc; generation of Silurian granites due to crustal thickening; early Silurian to early Devonian rifting, resulting in the dismemberment of the deformed arc-basin complex, and formation of a series of arc fragments with intervening thin basins; tight, asymmetric folding of these basins during the Early to Mid Devonian, with some granite magmatism; extensive Carboniferous thin-skinned thrust stacking involving both east-, and west-directed transport, and slicing of the upper structural level of earlier antiformal stacks, together with granite roof zones; and final granitic arc magmatism during amalgamation with the New England Orogen.
