Cover thickness estimates in the Coompana Province, South Australia Results from the pre-drilling geophysics program—reflection, refraction and surface wave seismic

The Coompana Project is a collaborative project between Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of South Australia, co-funded by Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future Programme and the South Australian Government’s PACE Copper Initiative. The Coompana Project aims to provide new precompetitive geological, geophysical and geochemical data in the under-explored Coompana Province in South Australia. The pre-drilling geophysics program was undertaken to assist the drilling process by reducing the uncertainty associated with intersecting the targeted stratigraphy.
Seismic data were acquired at eight proposed drilling sites for the Coompana Drilling Program in February 2017. Seismic data were collected using vertical and horizontal geophones. An accelerated weight-drop source was tested with metal and plastic strike plates. The plastic strike plate was preferred and used for all sites. P-wave reflection images were used to images subsurface layers and estimate bedrock depth at each drill site. Horizontal geophone data indicated S-wave data had higher resolution than the vertical geophone P-wave data, but initial testing did not provide good bedrock imaging.
Fan shots can indicate zones of low velocity weathering at the near surface. Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves provided near surface weathering profiles. Near surface weathering can be an indication of caves in this limestone environment. The S-wave shot records may indicate the presence of caves with S-wave signal degradation at cave locations, as S-waves do not travel through voids, not noticed at these sites. 
The seismic reflection method can be used to show subsurface variations and provide bedrock depth estimates, though the bedrock can be difficult to identify. The data is very noisy and data quality changes at different locations. Seismic data quality can be improved with a higher energy source.

GSQ Cooper Basin West 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 GSQ Cooper Basin West Doserate grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 87m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Cooper Basin West, Qld, 2007-08. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2007 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 209621 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Radiometric Map of Australia

Geoscience Australia and the Australian State and Territory Geological Surveys have systematically surveyed most of the Australian continent over the past 40 years using airborne gamma-ray spectrometry to map potassium, uranium and thorium elemental concentrations at the Earth's surface.  However, the individual surveys that comprise the national gamma-ray spectrometric radioelement database are not all registered to the same datum.  This limits the usefulness of the database as it is not possible to easily combine surveys into regional compilations or make accurate comparisons between radiometric signatures in different survey areas.  To solve these problems, 
Geoscience Australia has undertaken an Australia-Wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS), funded under the Australian Government's Onshore Energy Security Program, to serve as a radioelement baseline for all current and future airborne gamma-ray spectrometric surveys in Australia.
The AWAGS survey has been back-calibrated to the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) radioelement datum.  We have used the AWAGS data to level the national radioelement database by estimating survey correction factors that, once applied, minimize both the differences in radioelement estimates between surveys (where these surveys overlap) and the differences between the surveys and the AWAGS traverses.  The database is thus effectively levelled to the IAEA datum.  The levelled database has been used to produce the first 'Radiometric Map of Australia' - levelled and merged composite potassium (% K), uranium (ppm eU) and thorium (ppm eTh) grids over Australia at 100 m resolution.
Interpreters can use the map to reliably compare the radiometric signatures observed over different parts of Australia.  This enables the assessment of key mineralogical and geochemical properties of bedrock and regolith materials from different geological provinces and regions with contrasting landscape histories.

Trial Sixth Generation seismic-hazard model of Canada: seismic-hazard values for selected localities

The preliminary 6th Generation seismic hazard model of Canada (CanadaSHM6-trial) provides the basis for design values proposed for the 2020 edition of the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC2020). Seismic hazard values at a probability level of 2% in 50 years for 679 Canadian localities are provided in an accompanying spreadsheet to supplement the public review of the seismic hazard portion of NBCC2020 scheduled from January to March 2020. The spreadsheet tool provides the ability to select a Canadian locality and visualize seismic hazard values for any value of VS30 (140 - 3000 m/s) and Site Class (E-A). In this document we provide detailed instructions on the use of this spreadsheet. This work will be superseded by a forthcoming Open File, once NBCC2020 is finalized to reflect the final seismic hazard values calculated using CanadaSHM6.

The structural architecture of the central North West Shelf – insights from regional scale mapping of the Triassic succession

The central North West Shelf has been the focus of a regional mapping program by Geoscience Australia targeting the Triassic succession.  Resulting updates to the regional structural understanding are presented, showcasing variations in structural style across the region.  The Triassic section is affected by fault sets with two predominant orientations across the study area: N-trending and NE-trending, with localised areas of NW-trending faulting.  There is typically vertical separation of faulting between the upper Triassic and lower Triassic successions, resulting in different fault fabrics mapped on the top and base Triassic surfaces.  In some areas major faults penetrate through the Mesozoic section and into the Paleozoic basement, forming features with significant displacement such as the Thouin Graben, Whitetail Graben, Naranco High, and the Barcoo Sub-basin half graben.  Isochore maps reveal two Triassic depocentres separated by an area of thin Triassic extending from the inboard Bedout Sub-basin out to the western Rowley Sub-basin and NE Exmouth Plateau.  This new mapping shows that there is a poor correlation between Triassic depocentres and existing basin boundaries, making it difficult to clearly describe regions of interest and their evolution.  Greater integration of new structural insights into a regional structural framework is necessary to improve our understanding of the tectonostratigraphic evolution of the margin, and the stratigraphic and structural aspects of exploration risk.

L164 Curnamona Seismic Survey, SA, 2003 & 2004 Stacked and migrated seismic data and images for lines 03GA-CU1

A seismic survey using the Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR) Hemi 60 Vibroseis vehicles, ARAM24 acquisition equipment and Pelton controllers was carried out in the Curnamona Province of South Australia. A total of 197.6 km of 2-D seismic reflection data were collected to 18 seconds two way time over a single line at a nominal 60 fold CDP coverage. These data were acquired under contract by Trace Energy Services (2003) and by Terrex Seismic (2004). The survey commenced in August 2003 but was abandoned due to wet weather. Survey operations were recommenced and completed in July 2004.
The project was undertaken to meet the objectives of ANSIR proposal 03-02R as lodged by researchers from PIRSA, Office of Minerals, Energy and Petroleum, SA. The principal scientific objective of this survey was to provide a regional crustal seismic image of the Curnamona Province. This dataset will assist in the understanding of the geological architecture and resource potential of the region particularly in areas under cover.
This line links with a seismic transect in the Broken Hill Block undertaken by Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO, now Geoscience Australia) in 1996 and provides a future opportunity for an eventual east-west continuation across the Adelaide Geosyncline and the Gawler Craton. The survey was funded by PIRSA, Office of Minerals, Energy and Petroleum, SA and the pmd*CRC with project supervision undertaken by ANSIR and in-kind support from Geoscience Australia (GA).
