Burra/Chowilla/Olary SA Hydrogeological map of the Murray Basin 1:250 000

The objectives of hydrogeologically mapping the Murray basin were to generate a set of maps at 1:250 000 scale to: 

show the influence of groundwater on land salinisation and surface water salinity 
delineate useable groundwater resources 
highlight present and potential salinity hazard and 
enhance community awareness and understanding of groundwater systems and processes 

and provide a groundwater data-base for the Murray Basin to facilitate land and water resource management decisions. 
The production of the Murray Basin Hydrogeological Map Series was a major coordinated Government action in the management of groundwater to combat degradation through salinisation and enable sustainable land and water use in the Murray Basin.  The Hydrogeological Map Series was a collaborative effort between the various water authorities of South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. 
Explaining this product in detail is an article by Evans, W.R. 1992, "The Murray Basin Hydrogeological Map Series", Water pp. 20-23.

Australian Critical Minerals Map 2023

This map shows the locations and status of Australian operating mines, mines under development, mines on care and maintenance and mineral deposits associated with a critical mineral resource in 2023. Operating mines include projects that have reported a critical mineral resource, but do not necessarily produce critical minerals. Developing mines are deposits where the project has a positive feasibility study, development has commenced or all approvals have been received. Mines under care and maintenance and mineral deposits are those projects with a known critical mineral resource estimate that may produce critical minerals in the future. 
For the purposes of this map, critical minerals are defined as minerals and elements that are vital for modern technology and whose supply may be at risk of disruption. As at December 2023, the Australian critical minerals list comprised antimony, arsenic, beryllium, bismuth, chromium, cobalt, fluorine, gallium, germanium, graphite, hafnium, high purity alumina, indium, lithium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, niobium, platinum group elements, rare earth elements, rhenium, selenium, silicon (high purity silica/quartz), scandium, tantalum, tellurium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium and zirconium. In February 2024, the Australian Government updated the Australian critical minerals list to include nickel. The fifth edition of this map includes the location and status of Australian nickel mines and deposits in 2023. These commodities are coloured by mineral groupings on the map.

Archive of results from the North Australia and Tanami National Geoscience Accord Projects

The North Australia Project (NAP) was initiated in July 2000 following negotiations between the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) and the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (now Geoscience Australia). The NAP was a joint project undertaking geoscientific studies in the Tanami, Arunta and Tennant regions of central Australia to help encourage mineral exploration. The project continued until June 2004, when the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) began regional data acquisition in the western Tanami region. In July 2004, the Tanami Project, a joint initiative between Geoscience Australia, NTGS, and GSWA to increase mineral exploration replaced the NAP. Although NTGS and GSWA have continued interests in the Tanami and Arunta regions, the collaborative Tanami Project will finish in December 2006.
The purpose of this product is to provide reports and datasets summarising the results of the project at this time. The only major products not included in this DVD are the results of the Tanami seismic survey and modifications to the on-line 3D models required by the seismic results. These will be released separately, beginning in August 2006.
As this report is intended to be as up-to-date as possible, it refers to a number of manuscripts that are either in press or in preparation. Although these manuscripts cannot be provided here, much of the data upon which the conclusions are based are presented in summary, either in abstracts, presentations, or data tables.

Summary Of Data And Results Bowen Basin, Queensland AFO Inderi No 1 Well AFO Rolleston No 1 Well Of Associated Freney Oil Fields NL

A. F.O. lnderi No. 1 Well was located in the Bowen Basin, Queensland, approximately 15 1/2 miles north-west of Holleston. The well was drilled by Hichter Bawden Drilling Pty Ltd, under contract to Mines Administration Pty Limited, for Associated Freney Oil Fields N.L., to a total depth of 5433 feet. Drilling commenced on 29th June, 1963 and was completed on 11th .\ugust, 1963. A full programme of logging, testing, and coring was undertaken.
The well was situated on or near the crest of the lnderi Anticline. Below a thin cover of Quaternary alluvium and Tertiary volcanic rocks the well penetrated Permian sediments from 92 feet to total depth. Economic basement was encountered at 5368 feet and the well was abandoned at 5433 feet in dominantly granite conglomerate. The Permian sediments included the Bandanna Formation, the Mantuan Productus Beds, "Dry Creek Shale", "Early Storms Sandstone", lngelara Formation, Aldebaran Sandstone, Cattle Creek Formation, and the Stanleigh Formation.
The objective of the well was to test the hydrocarbon potential of the sediments in the lnderi Anticline, and to establish the section present in the area. Seismic evidence indicated a closure of 600 feet over an area of 15 square miles for the lnderi anticline itself, but closure is increased to 1000 feet over 45 square miles by upthrow against the Albinia Fault to the east.
Eight open-hole formation tests were carried out. A gas flow of 800 Md/ D was recorded from the interval 1818 to 1901 feet (DST No. 4). Four of the tests yielded hydrocarbons. Three of these (DST' s Nos 1, 3, and 4) tested the same topmost sand of the Aldebaran Sandstone, and the fourth tested the inteval 3814 to 3944 feet (DST No. 7).
Traces of cutting fluorescence were recorded from the Aldebaran Sandstone between 2140 and 2480 feet and live oil was found along a bedding plane in a fairly tight sandstone from Core No. 8 (2456 to 2466 feet). However, DST 1'0. 5, over the interval 23:32 to 2466 feet, produced fresh water only. No other flow was recorded and the well was plugged and abandoned.
The stratigraphic drilling operation at A.FO. lnderi No. I was subsidized Under the Petroleum Search Subsidy Act 1959-1961, from surface to total depth.

Tanami NS 1F - TMI RTP grid (AWAGS)

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 magnetic grid has a cell size of 0.00018 degrees (approximately 20m).The data are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2018 by the NT Government, and consisted of 5323 line-kilometres of data at 100m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the grid, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey grid. This survey grid is essentially levelled to AWAGS.The data has had a variable reduction to the pole applied to centre the magnetic anomaly over the magnetised body. The VRTP processing followed a differential reduction to pole calculation up to 5th order polynomial. Magnetic inclination and declination were derived from the IGRF-11 geomagnetic reference model using a data representative date and elevation representative of the survey.
