Gold and intrusion-related Mo-W mineral systems of the southern Thomson Orogen, New South Wales

As part of a multidisciplinary study of the region by Geoscience Australia and the geological surveys of New South Wales and Queensland, the mineral systems at the Cuttaburra and F1 prospects have been investigated with the aim of better understanding the prospectivity of the southern Thomson Orogen. Samples from three drill holes at the Cuttaburra prospect and three drill holes at the F1 prospect were studied in detail petrographically and analysed for the following: whole-rock geochemistry; S isotopes; Pb isotopes; molybdenite Re-Os geochronology; cassiterite U-Pb geochronology; and white mica 40Ar/39Ar geochronology. The results have been integrated with existing zircon U-Pb geochronology and company data to better characterise the geology, mineralisation, alteration, timing and geochemistry of the mineral systems. A new two-stage model of mineral system formation has been developed in which early Mo-W and later Au-base metal mineralisation both formed at ~425-430 Ma, probably coevally with granitoids that intruded Cambrian or younger metasedimentary rocks.

A New Radiometric Map and Data Set for Australia: Implications for Uranium Exploration

In February 2009, Geoscience Australia released a new national radiometric map and dataset. This improved radiometric map, shows the distribution of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th) at the Earth's surface as measured using the airborne gamma-ray spectrometric method. The gridded data that underpin the map cover over 80 % of the Australian continent at 100m spatial resolution. These data were calibrated to be consistent with an Australian radioelement datum based on an Australia wide airborne geophysical survey (AWAGS2) completed in 2008, which was conducted under the Australian Government funded Onshore Energy Security Initiative. AWAGS provides the baseline for stitching and levelling of all publicly available airborne radiometric (and magnetic) surveys across Australia, which are of a range of ages and qualities, and for future airborne surveys.  The new grids of K, eTh and eU can be used to reliably compare the radiometric signatures observed over different parts of Australia, enabling the assessment of key mineralogical and geochemical properties of bedrock and regolith materials from different geological provinces and regions across the continent. These data support a range of different applications including exploration, geological mapping, geomorphological studies and environmental mapping.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files: Petermann Ranges (sg52)

AUSGeoid98 data files contain a 2 minute grid of AUSGeoid98 data covering the Australian region, which you can use to interpolate geoid-ellipsoid separations for the positions required.You can use your own interpolation software, or you can use Geoscience Australia's Windows Interpolation software (Winter). The data files are text files in a standard format that cover the same area as standard topographic map areas. Files covering both 1:250,000 (approximately 100 x 150 km) and 1:1,000,000 (approximately 400 x 600 km) map areas are available. There is a 4 minute overlap on all sides of each area. Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places. AUSGeoid98 deflections of the vertical were computed from the geoid-ellipsoid separation surface, while the AUSGeoid93 deflections of the vertical were computed from OSU91A.

Geological and petrophysical appraisal of residual oil zones in onshore Australian basins

Geoscience Australia and CSIRO have collaborated, under the Exploring for the Future program, to investigate whether water-saturated residual oil zones (ROZs), sometimes associated with conventional Australian hydrocarbon plays, could provide a CO2 storage resource and enhance the storage capacity of depleted fields. This product is part of a larger project that includes, among others, a reservoir modelling component. 
This report focuses on our petrophysical module of work that investigated the occurrence and character of ROZs in onshore Australian basins. Our findings demonstrate that ROZs occur in Australia’s hydrocarbon-rich regions, particularly in the Cooper-Eromanga Basin. ROZs with more than 10% residual oil saturation are uncommon, likely due to small original oil columns and lower residual saturations retained in sandstone reservoirs than in classic, carbonate-hosted North American ROZs. Extensive, reservoir-quality rock is found below the deepest occurring conventional oil in many of the fields in the Eromanga Basin, potentially offering significant CO2 storage capacity.&nbsp;
For more information about this project and to access the related studies and products, see: https://www.eftf.ga.gov.au/carbon-co2-storage-residual-oil-zones.

GSWA South Kimberley Potassium 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.
This radiometric potassium grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 90m) and shows potassium element concentration of the South Kimberley, WA, 2008 in units of percent (or %). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2008 by the WA Government, and consisted of 166514 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Building Survey - Sydney Central Business District (CBD) Flyer

Knowledge of the nature of buildings within CBD areas is fundamental to a broad range of decision-making processes, including planning, emergency management and the mitigation of the impact of natural hazards. To support these activities, Geoscience Australia has developed a building information system which provides information on buildings across Australia. Most of the building level information is statistically derived, but efforts are being made to include more detailed information on the nature of individual buildings, particularly in CBD areas. This is being achieved in Sydney through field survey work.

Sedimentary thickness across Australia from passive seismic methods

Finding new mineral deposits hidden beneath the sedimentary cover of Australia has become a national priority, given the country’s economic dependence on natural resources and urgent demand for critical minerals for a sustainable future. A fundamental first step in finding new deposits is to characterise the depth of sedimentary cover. Excellent constraints on the sedimentary thickness can be obtained from borehole drilling or active seismic surveys. However, these approaches are expensive and impractical in the remote regions of Australia. With over three quarters of the continent being covered in sedimentary and unconsolidated material, this poses a significant challenge to exploration.

Recently, a method for estimating the sedimentary thickness using passive seismic data, the collection of which is relatively simple and low-cost, was developed and applied to seismic stations in South Australia. The method uses receiver functions, specifically the delay time of the P-to-S converted phase generated at the interface of the sedimentary basement, relative to the direct-P arrival, to generate a first order estimate of the thickness of sedimentary cover. In this work we apply the same method to the vast array of seismic stations across Australia, using data from broadband stations in both permanent and temporary networks.&nbsp;We also investigate using the two-way traveltime of shear waves, obtained from the autocorrelation of radial receiver functions, as a related yet separate estimate of sedimentary thickness.&nbsp;

From the new receiver function delay time and autocorrelation results we are able to identify many features, such as the relatively young Cenozoic Eucla and Murray Basins. Older Proterozoic regions show little signal, likely due to the strong compaction of sediments.&nbsp;A comparison with measurements of sedimentary thickness from local boreholes gives a straightforward predictive relationship between the delay time and the cover thickness, offering a simple and cheap way to characterise the sedimentary thickness in unexplored areas from passive seismic data. This study and some of the data used are funded and supported by the Australian Government's Exploring for the Future program led by Geoscience Australia.
