Critical commodities for a high-tech world: Australia's potential to supply global demand

[Please note: This report was re-issued on 14 August 2013 due to data corrections. This replaces the version released on 17 July 2013. Corrections to mineral resources and production data are included in Table 1.5.2 and in the Appendix.]
This report provides contextural and geological background to existing production and opportunities for potential production of critical commodities. Critical commodities are defined as mineral commodities for which uses are both economically important and have a high risk of supply disruption. Based upon a compilation of reports defining commodities considered critical by our major trading partners (UK, EU, USA, Japan and Korea), a suite of commodities were identified that can be considered critical. Mineral systems analysis was udertaken to determine which of these commodities are currently produced or have potential for production in Australia. Using the data and the potential size of export markets, the report identifies potential in four areas: 
(1) deposits associated with mafic-ultramafic magmatism (for Co, Cr, Ni, PGE); 
(2) deposits associated with granitic and alkaline magmatism (for Be, Bi, Li, Mo, Nb, REE, Sn, Ta,  W); 
(3) heavy mineral sands deposits (for REE, Th, Ti, Zr); and (4) trace elements in ores and concentrates from existing mines (Cd, Ga, Ge, In, Sb, Se, Te).

Atlas of isoseismal maps of Australian earthquakes

This Atlas of isoseismal maps of Australian earthquakes contains the results of the ground intensity effects from all known Australian earthquakes for which adequate documentation is available. A total of 83 isoseismal maps are presented for 70 Australian earthquakes. The Atlas is arranged with each isoseismal map presented in chronological order, facing a page containing a brief description of the earthquake and the methods used to obtain the intensity data. References to the source of the map and to other publications that contain information on the earthquake's intensity are also given. The earliest map is from the July 1883 Mount Barker (SA) earthquake and the most recent from the November 1981 Suggan Buggan (NSW) earthquake. The largest recorded earthquakes from the Australian continent have occurred in Western Australia. These were the 1941 Meeberrie and 1968 Meckering events, which have magnitudes of about ML 7, and were felt at distances of about 900 and 800 kilometres from their respective epicentres. In South Australia, the 1897 Beachport earthquake (magnitude 6.5) produced the greatest shaking and was felt about 600 kilometres from the epicentre; in eastern Australia, the 1935 Gayndah (Qld), 1961 Robertson-Bowral (NSW), and 1973 Picton (NSW) earthquakes were felt out to about 400 kilometres and the 1918 Bundaberg (Qld) earthquake was felt at distances of about 650 km. The 1968 Meckering and June 1979 Cadoux earthquakes produced the highest observed ground shaking. Intensities of MM IX were experienced, and fault scarps, with throws of about a metre, extended over several kilometres for each earthquake. Intensities of MM VIII were recorded for the 1897 Beachport, 1902 Warooka, 1941 Meeberrie, 1949 Dalton-Gunning, and 1954 Adelaide earthquakes. Total damage caused by the June 1979 Cadoux earthquake was 3.8 million dollars (1979 prices) and the 1968 Meckering earthquake, 2.2 million dollars (1968 prices). The 1954 Adelaide earthquake caused 4 million pounds damage at 1954 prices.

International Collaboration in Support of Indonesian Earthquake Hazard

The 2004 Sumatra earthquake was the most lethal natural disaster of modern times. Such a massive earthquake came as a surprise to earth scientists worldwide, who had grossly underestimated the earthquake potential in this part of the world. In order to address this gap in the science of Indonesian earthquakes, the Government of Australia supported a technical capacity-building program that brought Australian and Indonesian earthquake scientists together to focus not only on improved science, but also on cooperation among government and academia to effectively utilize the science to help Indonesian society protect itself from future earthquakes.
The major cause of fatalities in earthquakes is building collapse, so reduction of earthquake fatalities can be achieved through adoption of seismically resilient building practices that take into account the best available earthquake science via a seismic hazard map. Development of such a map for a tectonically active area like Indonesia is a major undertaking, and requires coordinating the efforts of geologists, seismologists, geodesists and geotechnical engineers. Moreover, knowledge of earthquakes is never complete, so a seismic hazard map is not a "one-off" but instead must be continually improved, and this requires education of a new generation of Indonesian scientists. 
The Australian-Indonesian collaboration in earthquake science described here attempted to achieve all this, and resulted in not only production of a modern earthquake hazard map, but also laid the foundation for a sustainable path towards development of improved earthquake hazard and risk products that will support Indonesian earthquake disaster risk reduction into the future.
Phil R. Cummins received his PhD in Geophysics from U. California Berkeley in 1988, and worked as a postdoctoral and research fellow at the Australian National University (ANU) until 1996, when he moved to the Japan Center for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC). After leading a geodynamics research unit at JAMSTEC, in 2001 he took up a position leading earthquake and tsunami hazard research at Geoscience Australia. In 2011, he accepted a joint appointment between Geoscience Australia and ANU as Prof. Natural Hazards, where he combines teaching and research in natural hazards at ANU with technical application of earthquake and tsunami science at Geoscience Australia.
This talk is presented as part of the Distinguished Geoscience Australia Lecturer series on 23 May 2018.

Near-field directionality of earthquake strong ground motions measured by displaced geological objects

Coseismically displaced rock fragments (chips) in the near-field (less than 5 km) of the 2016 moment magnitude (MW) 6.1 Petermann earthquake (Australia) preserve directionality of strong ground motions. Displacement data from 1437 chips collected over an area of 100 km2 along and across the Petermann surface rupture is interpreted to record combinations of co-seismic directed permanent ground displacements associated with elastic rebound (fling) and transient  ground shaking, with intensities of motion increasing with proximity to the surface rupture. The observations provide a proxy test for available models for directionality of near-field reverse fault strong ground motions in the absence of instrumental data. This study provides a dense proxy record of strong ground motions at less than 5 km distance from a surface rupturing reverse earthquake, and may help test models of near-field dynamic and static pulse-like strong ground motion for dip-slip earthquakes.

The Granites A, NT, 1988 (P620), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled

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 The Granites A, NT, 1988 (P620), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 1988 by the NT Government, and consisted of 9778 line-kilometres of data at 500m line spacing and 90m 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.

Sturt - Dry River, NT, 2001 (P1021), 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 Sturt, NT, 2001 survey were acquired in 2001 by the NT Government, and consisted of 45990 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.

Exploring for the Future, Strontium, Oxygen and Carbon Isotopes from NDI Carrara 1, South Nicholson Region, Australia

Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future program provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources.

In order to gain insights into the resource potential of the South Nicholson region, a key region of focus for EFTF, National Drilling Initiative (NDI) Carrara&nbsp;1 stratigraphic drill hole was completed in late 2020, as a collaboration between Geoscience Australia, the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS), and the MinEx CRC. NDI Carrara&nbsp;1 is the first drill hole to intersect the, as yet, undifferentiated Proterozoic rocks of the newly defined Carrara Sub-Basin within the South Nicholson region. NDI Carrara&nbsp;1 is located on the western flank of the Carrara Sub-basin, reaching a total depth of 1751&nbsp;m, intersecting ca. 630&nbsp;m of Cambrian Georgina Basin overlying ca. 1100&nbsp;m of Proterozoic carbonates, black shales and minor siliciclastics.

Geoscience Australia is undertaking a range of investigations on the lithology, stratigraphy and geotechnical properties of NDI Carrara&nbsp;1 based on wireline data, as well as undertaking a range of analyses of over 400 physical samples recovered through the entire core. These analyses include geochronology, isotopic studies, mineralogy, inorganic and organic geochemistry, petrophysics, geomechanics, thermal maturity, and petroleum systems investigations. Hylogger™ data is available at the NTGS Geoscience Exploration and Mining Information System (GEMIS) webpage.

This data release presents results for analyses on selected rock samples from NDI Carrara 1, conducted by the Mawson Analytical Spectrometry Services, University of Adelaide, under contract to Geoscience Australia. These results include:

1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Carbon (δ13C), oxygen (δ18O) and strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotopes on carbonate bearing samples, and
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trace element data on the leachates prepared for 87Sr/86Sr ratio analyses.
