Geochronology of igneous and metamorphic rocks in the New Guinea Highlands

The island of New Guinea lies in an area of complex tectonic interaction between the relatively stable Australian continental landmass and the geologically active circum-Pacific Belt. Thus the Palaeo-zoic - Mesozoichistory of the southern half of the island is closely related t o the Palaeozoic - Mesozoic development of northeastern Australia, whereas in the northern half of the island there are Cainozoic geosynclinal and volcanic belts which cross-cut the Palaeozoic - Mesozoic basement and are parallel to the circum-Pacific margin in this region. In mainland Papua New Guinea, intrusive igneous activity before Tertiary time was restricted to the southern part of the Central Highlands and, from the data available, appears to have been rather sporadic. The Upper Permian Kubor Granodiorite, dated at about 2 4 0 m.y., represents the largest and oldest-known igneous massif in New Guinea. A number of small Mesozoic granitic bodies were emplaced in the Early Jurassic (190m.y), Early to Mid-Jurassic (172m.y) , and mid-Cretaceous (90m.y). Increased tectonism in the mid-Tertiary is evidenced by several late Oligocene and early Miocene results (26 to 20 m.y. range) in four metamorphic terrains and in granitic intrusives in the south Sepik area. Volcanic and plutonic igneous activity reached a climax in the mid - Miocene , between 12 and 15 m.y. ago. K - Ar dating on some of these volcanic rocks in close stratigraphic relationship with palaeontologically controlled sedimentary rocks provided the basis for constructing a physical time scale for the East Indies letter stages. The 12-15 m.y. (mid - Miocene) pulse of plutonic activity continued to a lesser degree in the late Miocene and Pliocene. These Miocene - Pliocene bodies lie in an arcuate northwest-trending belt (New Guinea Mobile Belt) over 700km long. Porphyry copper and gold mineralization events are temporally and spatially associated with the middle Miocene and Pliocene high-level intrusives in this belt. All the volcanic and plutonic rocks have low initial Sr 87 / Sr 86 ratios, suggesting that they were derived from mantle sources with little or no contamination by crustal material. A close relation between the major tectonic processes of faulting, volcanism, and plutonism in the New Guinea Mobile Belt, over a relatively short time span of a few million years in the mid - Miocene, corresponds to the waning stages of the Papuan Geosyncline sedimentary history and the beginning of the main mountain-building processes in the New Guinea highlands. It is hypothesized that this climactic upsurge in the tectonic history of New Guinea was triggered in the early to mid - Miocene by interaction and collision between the Pacific Plate and the northward-moving Australian Plate, which has New Guinea at its leading edge.

Cobar magnetic and radiometric survey, NSW, 2021 (P5009), Extension 4, magnetic line data

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 Cobar Magnetic and Radiometric Survey, 2021 survey were acquired in 2021 by the NSW Government, and consisted of  line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Gawler Craton Airborne Survey Merge Radiometrics - U equivalent concentration image (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. 
The Geological Survey of South Australia commissioned the Gawler Craton Airborne Survey (GCAS) as part of the PACE Copper initiative. The airborne geophysical survey was flown over parts of the Gawler Craton in South Australia. The program was designed to capture new baseline geoscientific data to provide further information on the geological context and setting of the area for mineral systems (http://energymining.sa.gov.au/minerals/geoscience/pace_copper/gawler_craton_airborne_survey). 
This radiometric uranium image has a cell size of 0.0004 degrees (approximately 41m) and shows uranium element concentration of the Gawler Craton Airborne Survey Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Merge, SA, 2017-2019 in units of parts per million (or ppm). Noise-adjusted singular value decomposition (NASVD) has been applied to the data. NASVD is a spectral component analysis procedure for the removal of noise from gamma-ray spectra. The data used to produce this image was acquired in 2019 by the SA Government, and consisted of 1660000 line-kilometres of data at 200m 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.

Darwin Harbour Habitat Mapping Program: Polygon of the study area

This resource contains a polygon of the study area for the greater Darwin Harbour region as part of a baseline seabed mapping program of Darwin Harbour and Bynoe Harbour. This project was funded through offset funds provided by an INPEX-led Ichthys LNG Project to the Northern Territory Government’s Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NTG-DENR) with co-investment from Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS). The intent of this program is to improve knowledge of the marine environments in the Darwin and Bynoe Harbour regions by collating and collecting baseline data that enable the creation of thematic habitat maps and information to underpin marine resource management decisions. The polygon of the study area was derived from a compilation of multiple surveys undertaken by GA, AIMS and NTG-DENR between 2011 and 2017, including GA0333 (Siwabessy et al., 2015), GA0341 (Siwabessy et al., 2015), GA0351/SOL6187 (Siwabessy et al., 2016), GA4452/SOL6432 (Siwabessy et al., 2017), GA0356 (Radke et al., 2017), and GA0358 and GA0359 (Radke et al., 2018), adding to those from previous surveys GA4425 and GA0333 collected by GA, AIMS, NTG-DENR and Darwin Port Authority.

Petroleum geology and geochemistry of the Birrindudu Basin, greater McArthur Basin

This study assesses the petroleum potential of the Paleo–Mesoproterozoic Birrindudu Basin in the northwestern Northern Territory, which is one of several Proterozoic basins in northern Australia with the potential to host conventional and unconventional petroleum accumulations. Historical source rock geochemistry, porosity, and permeability data from the Birrindudu Basin are collated and interpreted; in addition, new fluid geochemistry is interpreted within the context of the greater McArthur Basin. The limited data available indicate that at least four formations have good or excellent present-day organic richness (&gt;2 wt% TOC), and several sandstone and carbonate reservoirs have good porosity data. The calculated brittleness index of a number of organic-rich shales suggests that several are likely to be favourable for fracture stimulation and therefore might constitute good unconventional hydrocarbon targets. Four continent-scale petroleum supersystems are identified, two of which are described for the first time. These supersystems are an important tool in understanding the petroleum potential in frontier basins with limited data. Additionally, a number of basin-scale petroleum systems are potentially present within the basin successions; 14 possible conventional systems and 9 possible unconventional systems are documented. Petroleum play concepts are also described to assist with assessing the potential for conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resources. The ultimate aim is to identify areas that can be targeting for precompetitive geoscience data acquisition, so as to reduce the exploration search space.
