GSSA Barton DoseRate 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 GSSA Barton DoseRate grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00042 degrees (approximately 43m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Barton Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, SA, 2017. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2017 by the SA Government, and consisted of 111668 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Guide and data requirements for submission of mineral deposit geochemical data in the Critical Minerals in Ores (CMiO) database

This guide and template details data requirements for submission of mineral deposit geochemical data to the Critical Minerals in Ores (CMiO) database, hosted by Geoscience Australia, in partnership with the United States Geological Survey and the Geological Survey of Canada. The CMiO database is designed to capture multielement geochemical data from a wide variety of critical mineral-bearing deposits around the world. Samples included within this database must be well-characterized and come from localities that have been sufficiently studied to have a reasonable constraint on their deposit type and environment of formation. As such, only samples analysed by modern geochemical methods, and with certain minimum metadata attribution, can be accepted. Data that is submitted to the CMiO database will also be published via the Geoscience Australia Portal (portal.ga.gov.au) and Critical Minerals Mapping Initiative Portal (https://portal.ga.gov.au/persona/cmmi).&nbsp;

Puri Seismic Survey, Papua, 1959 By Australasian Petroleum Company Proprietary Limited

This report refers to seismic work carried out in the Puri area of Papua by Seismograph Service Ltd. for Australasian Petroleum Co. Pty. Ltd. during the period 6th May - 15th December, 1959.
The objective ofthe survey was to determine the structural pattern of the Tertiary limestones in order to define any closed structures that may have economic oil accumulations. Altogether some 75 miles of continuous reflection traverses were observed and also a single refraction in-line profile of two spreads.
An anticlinal feature was observed along one line but as there was no evidence of any significant pitch reversal along the strike line it seems there is no structure worth drilling in the area south of the Puri and Kereru Anticlines. The overall quality of the reflection data was poor but was considered adequate to disprove the presence of any major closed structures.

West Wyalong Detail, NSW, 1998 (P697), 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 West Wyalong Detail, NSW, 1998 survey were acquired in 1998 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 7819 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 50m and 50m, and 60m 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.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files: Tanami East (se52-16)

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.

Quaternary vadose calcretes revisited

Vadose calcretisation commences with precipitation of micritic calcite from carbonate-rich meteoric water in the soil moisture zone. Through time, calcrete is subjected to repeated episodes of vadose cementation, dissolution, and brecciation of earlier-formed soil components, giving rise to stratigraphically complex soil profiles. The degree of complexity of individual profiles is largely influenced by the geomorphological setting and hydrological history of the local groundwater systems.  Morphological similarities of calcrete duricrusts form the basis for establishing inventories of textural, compositional and physiographic features for Quaternary  calcrete soil profiles and their evolutionary stages. Such inventories are useful tools for palaeo-environmental reconstruction, although calcrete duricrusts can be either an advantage or an obstacle for mineral exploration, depending on the level of understanding of calcrete and its relationship to the bedrock.  Assessment of the timing of the main phases of carbonate precipitation indicates that calcrete soil profiles can attain maturity within a relatively short time.  Problems with establishing a reliable time frame for differentiating Quaternary calcrete duricrusts from older counterparts represent a major challenge for further research.

Preliminary geological and geophysical report on Waterhouse uranium prospect No. 1, Northern Territory

The Waterhouse Uranium Prospect No. 1 is situated in a sequence of siltstone, quartzite and shales of Lower Proterozoic Age, occurring on the south east flank of the Rum Jungle domal structure. Detailed geological and radiometric surveying were done, and these show a small but significant radiometric high in the siltstone. Mineralization is indicated in the area by two zones of limonitic casts disseminated through favourable beds, one in the shale and the other in the siltstone in the vicinity of the anomaly. Weak copper mineralization is indicated in the north east sector of the area in silicified shale. Sampling was done for 100 feet over the area of greatest radioactivity. Further work by diamond drilling has been recommended to determine the effects of leaching, and as a guide to the interpretation of other anomalies of similar type in the area.
