Exploring for the Future factsheet - a new phase of resource investment in northern Australia

Exploring for the Future is playing an important role in securing an ongoing
pipeline of mineral, energy and groundwater resources to safeguard
Australia’s future economic prosperity.
Exploring for the Future is a new $100.5 million initiative by the Australian
Government that aims to boost Australia’s attractiveness as a destination for
investment in resource exploration.
Australia is fortunate to be rich in natural resources, including minerals, energy and
groundwater. These resources are essential for life and the sustainable development
of our society. They are also a foundation for the economic successes that our
country has enjoyed for decades. It is therefore vital that we encourage and support
commercial exploration activities to maintain a healthy supply of mineral, energy and
groundwater resources into the future. Exploring for the Future seeks to do that.

Mt Willoughby, SA, 1997 (97SA12) (EL183/97) (P927), 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 Mt Willoughby, SA, 1997 (97SA12) (EL183/97) (P927), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 1997 by the SA Government, and consisted of 44946 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing 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.

East Kimberley remotely sensed datasets

This compilation data release is a selection of remotely sensed imagery used in the Exploring for the Future (EFTF) East Kimberley Groundwater Project. 
Datasets include:
•   Mosaic 5 m digital elevation model (DEM) with shaded relief 
•   Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) percentiles
•   Tasselled Cap exceedance summaries
•   Normalised Difference Moisture Index (NDMI)
•   Normalised Difference Wetness Index (NDWI)
The 5m spatial resolution digital elevation model with associated shaded relief image were derived from the East Kimberley 2017 LiDAR survey (Geoscience Australia, 2019b).
The Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) percentiles include 20th, 50th, and 80th for dry seasons (April to October) 1987 to 2018 and were derived from the Landsat 5,7 and 8 data stored in Digital Earth Australia (see Geoscience Australia, 2019a). Tasselled Cap Exceedance Summary include brightness, greenness and wetness as a composite image and were also derived from the Landsat data. These surface reflectance products can be used to highlight vegetation characteristics such as wetness and greenness, and land cover. 
The Normalised Difference Moisture Index (NDMI) and Normalised Difference Water Index (NDWI) were derived from the Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. These datasets have been classified and visually enhanced to detect vegetation moisture stress or water-logging and show distribution of moisture. For example, positive NDWI values indicate waterlogged areas while waterbodies typically correspond with values greater than 0.2. Waterlogged areas also correspond to NDMI values of 0.2 to 0.4.

Seismic structure and continuity of the Redbank Thrust Zone, central Australia

The Redbank Thrust Zone in central Australia is a major Proterozoic Province boundary that was reactivated during the compressional Alice Springs Orogeny (300-400 Ma). To investigate its three-dimensional structure, three deep seismic reflection profiles were recorded over this boundary in 1985.  This paper presents new seismic results that provide clear supporting evidence that the Redbank Thrust Zone has a similar geometry in two crustal sections spaced 70 km apart.  In both seismic dip-sections the Redbank Thrust Zone is a planar, sub-parallel band of reflections that dip to the north at 35-40Â° and extends to depths in excess of 20 km. This similarity indicates a definite three-dimensional geometry, and, in-conjunction with existing structural data, gravity and teleseismic data suggests that the Redbank Thrust Zone is a major boundary, of considerable lateral magnitude, separating crustal blocks with different geological composition and structure and reinforces earlier interpretations that the Redbank Thrust Zone represents a crust-cutting thick-skinned feature.

Basement and crustal structure of the Bonaparte - Browse Basins

Australia's North West Margin (NWAM) is segmented into four discrete basins which have distinct rift and reactivation histories: Carnarvon, offshore Canning (Roebuck), Browse and Bonaparte. Bonaparte Basin incorporates Vulcan and Petrel sub-basins. The Bonaparte Basin stands out as an extensive sedimentary basin which has a geological history spanning almost the entire Phanerozoic, with up to 20  km of sediment accumulation in the centre.  Browse Basin has considerably less thick sediment accumulation ? 12 km at maximum, which is still high for general hydrocarbon potential estimation.
The structural architecture of the region is the product of a number of major tectonic events, including:
? Late Devonian northeast-southwest extension in the Petrel Sub-basin;
? Late Carboniferous northwest-southeast extension in the proto-Malita Graben, Browse Basin and proto-Vulcan Sub-basin;
? Late Triassic north-south compression;
? Early-Mid Jurassic development of major depocentres in the Exmouth, Barrow and Dampier sub-basins, and extension in the Browse Basin;
? Mid-Late Jurassic breakup in the Argo Abyssal Plain, onset of thermal sag in the Browse basin and extension in the Bonaparte Basin;
? Valanginian breakup in the Gascoyne and Cuvier abyssal plains, and onset of thermal sag in the Bonaparte Basin; and 
? Late Miocene reactivation and flexural downwarp of the Timor Trough and Cartier Sub-basin
Many of these events have involved processes of lower crustal extension and are strongly controlled by the pre-existing regional structural fabrics and basement character.
Most reliable information on basement and deep crustal structure in the region comes from combined ocean-bottom seismograph (OBS) and deep reflection profiling along several regional transects (including Vulcan and Petrel transects in the Bonaparte Basin, and one transect in the Browse Basin). Average spacing between the OBSs of 30 km and shot spacing of 100 m with data recording to maximum offsets of 300 km enabled development of accurate crustal-scale seismic velocity models. Deep reflection data along the coincident profiles were recorded as part of Geoscience Australia?s regional grid of seismic lines. Consistent interpretation of several key horizons tied to petroleum exploration wells through the entire grid created the basis for co-interpretation of the OBS and deep reflection data supplemented by gravity field modelling.
