Lithospheric resistivity structures from AusLAMP data in New South Wales and Victoria

The Australian Lithospheric Architecture Magnetotelluric Project&nbsp;(AusLAMP) in New South Wales (NSW) was a collaboration between the Geological Survey of New South Wales and Geoscience Australia, with the Geological Survey of New South Wales funding and assistance of data acquisition, while Geoscience Australia provided in-kind contributions, project management, data acquisition, data processing and modelling. Some resources were provided with Exploring for the Future Program. This project started in June 2016 and concluded in June 2025.



Phase one of the project released processed data and model from 224 stations in 2020. Phase two comprised processed data from 73 stations in 2023. This phase three release includes a report, two new stations and an updated model from all released data in New South Wales and Victoria.&nbsp;This new model extends the coverage of northern NSW. The AusLAMP data from Victoria in this model were collected through a collaborative project between the Geological Survey of Victoria and Geoscience Australia. Few stations along the NSW state border were collected by the University of Adelaide, with acquisition funding from the Geological Survey of South Australia and field support from Geoscience Australia.



This release package includes a preferred 3D resistivity model projected to GDA94 MGA Zone 55 and associated information for this project. The model is in SGrid and geo-referenced TIFF formats. A report describes the methodologies for data acquisition, processing and modelling/inversion, providing users with insights into the data lineage and derived products such as resistivity models. The model and report were produced as part of Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative.

3D Model of the Major Crustal Boundaries of Australia 2024 Edition

The ‘Major crustal boundaries of Australia’ dataset synthesises more than 40 years of acquisition of deep seismic reflection data across Australia, where major crustal-scale breaks, often inferred to be relict sutures between different crustal blocks, have been interpreted in the seismic reflection profiles. The widespread coverage of the seismic profiles now provides the opportunity to construct a map of major crustal boundaries across Australia. Starting with the locations of the crustal breaks identified in the seismic profiles, geological (e.g. outcrop mapping, drill hole, geochronology, isotope) and geophysical (e.g. gravity, aeromagnetic, magnetotelluric, passive seismic) data are used to map the crustal boundaries, in map view, away from the seismic profiles. For some of these boundaries, a high level of confidence can be placed on the location, whereas the location of other boundaries can only be considered to have medium or low confidence. In other areas, especially in regions covered by thick sedimentary successions, the locations of some crustal boundaries are essentially unconstrained. 

The ‘3D Major Crustal Boundaries Model – 2024 Edition’, utilising the corresponding ‘Major crustal boundaries of Australia – 2024 Edition’ 2D geographic information system (GIS) dataset (Doublier and Korsch, 2024), shows the locations and geometries of inferred ancient plate boundaries in three dimensions, providing constraints on the crustal architecture of Australia. It allows a better understanding of how the Australian continent was constructed from the Mesoarchean through to the Phanerozoic, and how this evolution and these boundaries have controlled metallogenesis. It is best viewed as a dynamic dataset, which will need to be refined and updated as new information, such as new seismic reflection data, becomes available.

Probabilistic inversion of high-frequency magnetotelluric data for cover thickness estimation in the Curnamona-Delamerian region

This release is part of Geoscience Australia's Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative (RAPi). Resourcing Australia's Prosperity is the Australian Government’s 35-year precompetitive geoscience initiative, led by Geoscience Australia, to accelerate the discovery of critical minerals and other resources, to support Australia’s net zero transition and enable responsible management of all resources. This work builds on the Exploring for the Future program. The Exploring for the Future program was a $225 m investment by the Australian Government for precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. The program commenced in 2016 and concluded in 2024. 



We applied a probabilistic approach to inverting high frequency magnetotelluric (MT) data collected by two recent surveys in the Curnamona-Delamerian Region: the Curnamona Cube survey by the University of Adelaide/AuScope and the Curnamona Cube Extension survey (https://doi.org/10.26186/147904) by Geoscience Australia as part of Exploring for the Future Program. The inversion employs multiple Markov chains in parallel to generate an ensemble of millions of resistivity models that adequately fit the data given the assigned data errors. The algorithm uses trans-dimensional Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques to solve for a probabilistic resistivity-depth model. This stochastic approach gives a thorough exploration of the model space and a more robust estimation of uncertainty than deterministic methods allow. We use the full width at half maximum (FWHM) statistic to quantify the uncertainty of a layer boundary interface, by finding the width in metres of the peak at half of its maximum probability.



This release package contains 1D probabilistic inversion results at 172 sites presented as graphical statistics summary, and cover thickness estimates interpreted from model results. Also released is the GA record that describes the MT data, methodology, results and conclusion remarks.

A new national iron oxide copper-gold mineral potential model of Australia using a hybrid data- and knowledge-driven approach

Iron oxide copper–gold (IOCG) deposits are important to the Australian economy as they are a significant source of copper, gold and silver, and also contain critical minerals required for the transition to a low-carbon economy. Given their economic and strategic importance to the nation, a mineral potential assessment for IOCG mineral systems in Australia was completed using a hybrid data- and knowledge-driven approach. For the model, each mappable criteria was statistically assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Fourteen criteria out of 149 were found to show a satisfactory statistical relationship with known IOCG mineralisation and were retained for the model. The mineral potential model successfully predicts the location of 91.7% of known IOCG deposits and occurrences in 8.3% of the area, reducing the exploration search space by 91.7% and opening new exploration search space in the Delamerian Orogen, the Lamboo Province and Tanami Orogen, the western Gawler Craton, the Hooper Province and the Musgrave Province. The statistical approach used in this study permits the evaluation of the relative importance of each mappable criteria, which can be used to inform the mineral system model for IOCG deposits. Overall, the best predictors are mappable criteria representing energy sources and drivers followed by ore depositional gradients, fluid pathways and architecture and sources of metals, fluids and ligands.&nbsp;

Together, these highlight how precompetitive geoscience data can be evaluated and utilized within a geologically and statistically robust framework to produce mineral potential models with strong predictive performance while informing mineral systems formation models. This work was undertaken under the Exploring for the Future program and continues under the Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative, which aims to deliver national mineral potential assessments for all Australian critical minerals and strategic materials.&nbsp;

Australian Marine Video and Imagery Collection

Relatively little is known about what the seafloor of Australia's continental shelf looks like or has living on it. Geoscience Australia (GA), together with other partners, undertakes a range of marine surveys to improve our understanding and management of Australia's marine environments. One component of the research involves the collection of underwater imagery to directly observe and characterise coastal and deep sea habitats. In some regions these surveys build on existing baseline knowledge, but in many areas, particularly deep offshore locations, these surveys provide the first images of the seafloor. 

The imagery collection includes both still and video imagery collected using various systems, including towed platforms, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Post-survey reports and metadata files are included as part of the collection, which describe further details of the surveys and respective imagery collections. The seafloor imagery provides a wealth of information about the geological features, habitats and life forms occurring throughout Australia's marine jurisdiction. 

<b>Value: </b>Improve the understanding and management of Australia's marine environments. 

<b>Scope: </b>GA surveys from 2007 onwards in waters around Australia and Australia's Antarctic Territory.

Modelling the Critical Mineral Potential of Australia

The discovery and development of critical minerals and strategic materials will be key for the energy transition. In order to support informed decision-making, a series of national-scale mineral potential assessments are being undertaken as part of Resourcing Australia's Prosperity to predictively model Australia’s geological potential for these critical minerals and strategic materials.

This presentation will highlight results from two recent assessments for iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) and unconformity-related rare earth element mineral systems which integrate new and legacy precompetitive geoscience with data science to produce predictive models showing which parts of Australia have higher potential for mineral system formation. These models reduce the exploration search space for explorers and can inform land use decision-making. The presentation will then discuss how these assessments will contribute to a commodity prospectus which will outline Australia’s opportunity to supply critical minerals and strategic materials from both potentially new and existing resources.

Listening to the Earth's Whisper: Unveiling Australia's Subsurface with Passive Seismic Imaging

Australia’s landscapes and resources are shaped by processes deep within the Earth. But how do we see what lies beneath our feet? At Geoscience Australia, we use a technique called passive seismic imaging, which listens to natural vibrations of the Earth rather than creating artificial signals. By deploying AusArray, the largest network of seismic sensors ever installed in Australia, we are mapping the continent’s crust and mantle in unprecedented detail. These images reveal the hidden architecture of basins, faults, and deep lithospheric structures that shape Australia’s geology. The results not only help us understand how our continent formed and evolved but also provide vital information for resource exploration and hazard assessment. This work formed part of national initiatives such as Exploring for the Future and will continue under Resourcing Australia's Prosperity, which will deliver cutting-edge science to support Australia’s long-term prosperity.&nbsp;

Developing Australia's national geological framework for a 3D groundwater systems atlas

Geoscience Australia has developed a preliminary national-scale 3D geological model to enhance understanding of Australia’s groundwater systems. Driven by Geoscience Australia’s Strategy 2028 objectives and funded through the Exploring for the Future program and Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative, this model integrates key geological and groundwater data to depict the distribution, depth, thickness, and characteristics of aquifers and aquitards within layered geological formations over geological time. It improves understanding of groundwater connectivity within rock layers and connectivity with surface features, such as springs and groundwater dependent ecosystems.

The model integrates national data from 53 sources and 171,000 drillholes, along with legacy and new geophysical data, including airborne electromagnetic and seismic interpretations. It includes depth surfaces for eight geological time slices, extending from the surface to the crystalline basement correlating to the base of geological Eras and some geological Periods. This framework supports the development of consistent geological datasets and revised stratigraphic interpretations that standardise nomenclature across the continent and enhance data consistency across multiple disciplines, allowing data integration at a national scale.

The framework also integrates geoscientific and hydrological datasets, improving national groundwater databases through multi-agency collaboration. It lays the groundwork for the development of a 3D groundwater systems atlas, fostering a collective understanding that provides new insights into geological basin architecture, aquifer connectivity, and groundwater flow. Supporting collaboration between government agencies, academia, industry, and the community, this national hydrogeological integration will support decision-making on water use, environmental policies, and resource development for Australia’s long-term water sustainability.

Petrography of the Birrindudu Basin and surrounds

As part of the Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative, an expanded drill core sampling program of legacy drillholes within the broader Birrindudu Deep Dive region was carried out in 2024 in the Northern Territory Geological Survey core repository in Darwin. Over 1,000 samples from 23 drillholes were collected for analytical work to support the assessment of resources in the region. As part of this sampling program, 72 samples from 19 legacy drillholes, and two legacy field samples were selected for thin section petrography. These samples are interpreted to belong to the Daly Basin, Kalkarindji Igneous Province, Birrindudu Basin, Pine Creek Orogen and Inverway Metamorphics as well as metamorphosed basement that is currently not assigned a formal name.



This record presents the results of the petrographic and semi-quantitative X-ray Diffraction analysis undertaken by Microanalysis Australia under contract to Geoscience Australia, on rock samples from selected drillholes and field samples across the Birrindudu Deep Dive area. These samples are expected to improve the geological knowledge of the region, by shedding light on the wider stratigraphic relationships and associated energy and mineral systems of the BDD region.

Day–night seismic acquisition in Queensland generates three pre-competitive datasets from one layout

The Boodjamulla–Croydon seismic survey is an ~841 km deep-crustal imaging project jointly delivered by the Geological Survey of Queensland and Geoscience Australia under the Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative. Three transects (25GA-BC1, 25GA-BC2, 25GA-BC3) were acquired using an innovative approach that ran in parallel: deep-crustal acquisition at night, imaging of near-surface structures during the day, and continuous passive recording. Applied for the first time in an Australian precompetitive seismic project, this method generated three distinct datasets from a single layout, improving imaging efficiency while minimising cost and ground disturbance. The survey is expected to refine crustal architecture across the Isa–Georgetown corridor, identify concealed Proterozoic depocentres and inform future assessments of mineral, energy, groundwater and storage potential. Raw data will be released in December 2025, with processed products scheduled for October 2026.

A Stratigraphic Reconstruction of Bulk Volatile Chemistry from Fluid Inclusions in 82-68, Birrindudu Basin, Australia

This report presents the results from a fluid inclusion stratigraphy (FIS) study on the drill hole 82-68 (Longitude 130.9155; Latitude -13.76) located in the north-eastern part of the Birrindudu Basin, Northern Territory. FIS analysis, where volatile components trapped with fluid inclusions are released and analysed revealing the level of exposure of the drill hole section to migrating fluids, was performed on 175 core samples from 12-510 m. 

These data form part of a drill core analytical program undertaken as part of the Birrindudu Deep Dive project. This project is delivered under the Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative, the Australian Government’s 35-year precompetitive geoscience initiative, led by Geoscience Australia, to accelerate the discovery of critical minerals and other resources, to support Australia’s net zero transition and enable responsible management of all resources.”
