Cann Mallacoota Vic Infill UR2001/6 (P200033), 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 Cann Mallacoota Vic Infill UR2001/6 (P200033) contains a total of 459 point data values acquired at a spacing of 1500 metres. The data is located in VIC and were acquired in 2000, under project No. 200033 for Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV).

Methodologies for seabed substrate characterisation using multibeam bathymetry, backscatter, and video data: A case study for the Eastern Joseph Bonaparte Gulf, Northern Australia

The use of multibeam bathymetry, backscatter data and their derivatives together with geophysical data, sediment samples, biological collections and underwater video/still footage to generate seabed habitat maps is an active research interest of Geoscience Australia. The obvious advantage over other techniques is that the multibeam system offers the creation of spatially continuous maps.
This report presents the results of an investigation of the potential use of multibeam data (bathymetry, backscatter and their derivatives) to classify/predict the seabed substrate. Principally, the aim was to reliably and repeatedly distinguish hard from soft terrain in Van Diemen Rise of eastern Joseph Bonaparte Gulf using two independent approaches: a classification-based approach and a prediction-based approach.

The geology of the Ord-Victoria region, northern Australia

The Ord-Victoria Region, an area of over 70,000 square miles in the north-western portion of Northern Territory and north-eastern portion of Western Australia, is drained by the Ord and Victoria River systems. The geological reconnaissance of the Region was made primarily to provide a geological background for assessment of land utilization by the Land Research and Regional Survey Unit of the ' Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, and secondly to provide information on the stratigraphy and economic geology. This Bulletin presents the results of the geological reconnaissance and includes a geological map at the scale of 16 miles to 1 inch of the Region and two geological maps at a scale of 4 miles to 1 inch of the more important Palaeozoic basins in the Region. Rock units of Precambrian, Cambrian, Ordovician, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Tertiary, and recent ages were mapped and described, and fossil collections were made from more than 50 localities. The discovery of Permian volcanics-the only confirmed post-Cambrian volcanics in Northern Territory-is recorded. Mineral production for the Kimberley Field is listed, and occurrences of gold, silver, lead, tin, copper, ochre, and bauxite are discussed. Aerial scintillometer surveys are recommended to determine if uranium deposits occur in the Halls Creek metamorphics. A study of hydrology was made and the underground water conditions in different areas are discussed. Petroleum prospects in the different basins are considered' and it is thought that the possibility of finding petroleum in commercial quantities in the Region is slight.

Tallaringa South - radiometric line data (AWAGS)

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 Tallaringa South - radiometric line data (AWAGS) were acquired in 2017 by the SA Government, and consisted of 146285 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.

Unlocking Australia's hidden mineral resource potential

Australia's economic prosperity is highly dependent on the continent's remarkable endowment of mineral and energy resources. Maintaining this prosperity requires effective exploration that leads to new discoveries to provide an ongoing 'pipeline' of resource development. Unfortunately, the percentage of global expenditure for minerals exploration in Australia has declined over the past decade, particularly for non-ferrous commodities and in frontier or greenfield regions. One factor for the decline in expenditure has been the perception that Australia is 'mature', i.e. has limited prospects for big new discoveries. 
Most of the existing mineral resource base that has been discovered and developed only occurs from outcropping or near outcropping geology. Such geology comprises approximately 20% of the land area, with the remaining 80% of the continent covered by a veneer of regolith or sediments, much of it only a few hundred metres thick. The fact that prospective rocks lie, for the most part, untested beneath this cover creates a tremendous opportunity for new mineral discoveries. 
Geoscience Australia, in collaboration with the State and Northern Territory geological surveys and the research community, will seek to reveal the hidden potential of Australia's buried but prospective terrains. The work will involve the acquisition, processing, interpretation and delivery of new pre-competitive geoscience data sets that develop and test geological models and key indicators of mineral resource potential in the subsurface.

Geochemistry and age of the greater McArthur Basin: base line geochemical studies and implications for basin-hosted mineral systems

The Paleo- to Mesoproterozoic McArthur Basin and Mount Isa region of northern Australia (Figure 1) is richly-endowed with a range of deposit types (e.g., Ahmad et al., 2013; Geological Survey of Queensland, 2011). These include the basin-hosted base metal (Zn-Pb-Ag) deposits of the North Australian Zinc Belt, the richest zinc province in the world (Geological Survey of Queensland, 2011; Huston et al., 2006), as well as Cu (e.g., Mt Isa Copper) and IOCG (e.g., Ernest Henry) deposits (Geological Survey of Queensland, 2011). The giant size of the base metal deposits makes them attractive exploration targets and significant effort has been undertaken in understanding their genesis and setting and developing methodologies and data sets to aid in further discovery. As part of its Exploring for the Future program, Geoscience Australia is acquiring new, and reprocessing old, data sets to provide industry with new exploration tools for these basin-hosted Zn-Pb and Cu deposits, as well as iron-oxide copper-gold deposits. We have adopted a mineral systems approach (e.g., Huston et al., 2016) focussing on regional aspects such as source rocks, locations of mineral deposits, mineralisation haloes and footprints.  Increased understanding of these aspects requires knowledge of the background variability of unaltered rocks within the basin. To assist in this we have undertaken a campaign of baseline geochemical studies, with over 800 new samples collected from sedimentary and igneous units of selected parts of the greater McArthur Basin–Mount Isa region. This has allowed us to document temporal and regional background geochemical (and mineralogical) variation within, and between sedimentary and igneous units. The main focus of this work was directed towards aspects of base metal mineralisation; a concurrent GA study (e.g., Jarrett et al., 2019) looking at aspects of hydrocarbon potential was undertaken in parallel.

Cootamundra 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 Cootamundra magnetic grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00052 degrees (approximately 53m). The units are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1997 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 69086 line-kilometres of data at 250m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.

Southeast Gippsland Basin Hydrocarbon Prospectivity Package

The offshore Gippsland Basin is Australia's major producing hydrocarbon province. Acreage has historically been tightly held, and opportunities for new players in this highly prospective basin have been limited. However, recent relinquishments have allowed the Australian Federal and Victorian State Governments to offer three potential permits to petroleum exploration companies and consortia. The Bureau of Mineral Resources Petroleum Group, in collaboration with the Victorian Department of Manufacturing and Industry Development's Petroleum Branch, has produced a hydrocarbon prospectivity package for the Southeast Gippsland Basin, with particular emphasis on the three areas to be released. The package takes the form of this BMR Record 1991/9. The Package covers regional geology, geophysics, palaeogeography, and hydrocarbon play concepts, together with a new structural interpretation for the Gippsland Basin developed at BMR. In addition, for each release area the package covers previous exploration, local geology and play concepts, reservoir geology and engineering, and geohistory. Prospects and leads are described in detail, and the text is complemented by some 80 Plates and Figures.
