Harris Greenstone Belt GIS Dataset

The Harris Greenstone Domain (HGD) is a late Archean-Proterozoic arcuate tectnostratigraphic terrane in the centre of the Gawler Craton. It is bound to the south by the Yerda Shear Zone and has a lithological zone boundary to the north with the Wilgena Domain. The basement comprises Archean ultramafic-mafic extrusives (Lake Harris Komatiite), aluminous metasediments (Christie Gneiss), felsic extrusives and intrusives (Kenalla Gneiss), felsic intrusives (Glenroth Granite), and Proterozoic felsic intrusives (Hiltaba Suite Granite, St Peter Suite), felsic and mafic extrusives (Gawler Range Volcanics), and fluvial-marine sedimentary rocks (Tarcoola Formation, Pandurra Formation).
The HGD is characterised by a series of sub-parallel east-northeast trending sinuous magnetic high features flanked by large ovoid to elongate magnetic highs and lows. The prominent narrow magnetic highs constitute the Archean Harris Greenstone Belt (HGB). Rock types in this poorly exposed belt include komatiite, komatiitic basalt, tholeiitic basalt, and subordinate banded iron formation, metasediments, felsic volcanics, and pyroclastics metamorphosed to amphibolite facies during the Sleafordian Orogeny at ~2440 Ma. 
The Lake Harris Komatiite, which represents the most eastern occurrence of komatiite in Australia, has potential for Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide and lode-Au mineralising systems. The prospective greenstone sequence is covered by thin (&lt;50 m) Quaternary sand and Eocene fluvial channel deposits. The distribution and structure of the greenstones is based largely on interpretation of aeromagnetics, gravity, and diamond drillcore.

Hydrogen and Salt

Hydrogen for energy storage and transport is a key part of the energy transition. Caverns in salt formations can provide high integrity and large-scale storage (&gt;200 GWh). Australia has several basins with thick salt in the subsurface that are prospective for underground hydrogen storage and Geoscience Australia's archive of digital data and physical samples is a crucial resource in assessing these deposits and finding more. New models for the deposition of giant salt deposits, new technologies and the new energy landscape make salt and hydrogen an exciting research frontier.

National Geochemical Survey of Australia: Analytical Methods Manual

The National Geochemical Survey of Australia (NGSA) has collected samples from 1315 sites located in 1187 catchments (~10% of which were sampled in duplicate) covering over 80% of Australia. At each site, two depth ranges were sampled and two grain size fractions were separated, giving 5260 samples to be analysed. Samples were analysed for:
1 - Total content of multiple elements in Geoscience Australia's laboratories using x-ray fluorescence (XRF) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
2 - total content of fluoride (F) in commercial laboratories using ion specific electrode (ISE)
3 - total content of platinum group elements (PGEs) in commercial laboratories using fire assay and ICP-MS
4 - aqua regia soluble content of selenium (Se) in a commercial laboratory using ICP-MS
5 - aqua regia soluble content of multiple elements, including low-level gold (Au), in a commercial laboratory using ICP-MS
6 - ligand-based extractable content of multiple elements in a commercial laboratory using ICP-MS.
The detailed procedures for analysing the NGSA samples in various laboratories are described.

Litchfield South Area C, NT, 1984 (P541), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled

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 Litchfield South Area C, NT, 1984 (P541), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 1984 by the NT Government, and consisted of 26132 line-kilometres of data at 500m line spacing and 100m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data. This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS.

Sedimentology of the Middle Proterozoic McArthur Basin, Northern Australia

Our understanding of the geological history and evolution of many parts of Australia is at the reconnaissance level. This is true to a large extent for much of the Proterozoic of North Australia. We have reasonably good 1:250,000 scale geological maps {and in small parts even better 1:100,000 maps} which show the distribution of rock units and the broad structural features of the exposed sequences. However, in most areas we only have rudimentary ideas on tectonic setting and geological evolution because of a lack of isotopic dating and detailed structural and sedimentological studies. Coherent analyses of basin type, configuration, and evolution, in the framework of modern plate tectonic models, are not available for much of the North Australian Proterozoic.
The information presented in this guide book results largely from detailed stratigraphic and sedimentological studies undertaken between 1977 and 1981 in the McArthur River region, supplemented by surface and drillcore studies in 1984/85 near the Roper River. Unfortunately, these more detailed studies cover only about half of the area defined as the McArthur Basin and as noted below this 'basin' is probably only part of a much larger depositional feature. Therefore, even after some detailed studies our knowledge is fragmentary and incomplete and our interpretations somewhat tentative. The results from the sedimentological studies in the McArthur River region have been compiled in detail in BMR Bulletin 220 {Jackson &amp; others, in press}. We had hoped that this would be available for the excursion; unfortunately, this has not been possible. As there is no other satisfactory synthesis of this information we have condensed and summarised relevant parts of it and included these in the guide book. A 1:100,000 scale geological map of the area containing most of the localities we shall visit is included with this guide book.

Julia Creek magnetic grid geodetic

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 Julia Creek magnetic grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 90m). The units are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1999 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 49397 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.

HBR No 1 Bore Wreck Island, Queensland Of  Humber Barrier Reef Oils Pty Ltd

The rig and ancillary gear were shipped by the 300-ton landing barge "Wewak" from Kaufana, Papua, to
Wilson Island, a distance of approximately 1,000 miles. They were thence transferred to Wreck Island by the drilling company's landing barge "Tamona" of 47.38 registered tonnage. All stores, supplies, and fresh water were transported 58 miles from Gladstone by the "Tamona". Communications were maintained by an A.W.A. 5A Transceiver with OTC Station VIR Rockhampton.
The bore was spudded in at 1400 hours, 7th May, 1959.
12-1/4 inch hole was drilled to 493 feet. Owing to lost circulation, no cuttings could be recovered from
the hole, and a laborious system of bailing was resorted to. The 12-1/4 inch pilot hole was opened to 17-1/2 inches, and 13-3/8 inch J55x54.5 lb. STC casing was run to 480 feet. 12-1/4 inch hole was drilled to 1,170 feet, but owing to porous unconsolidated sediments and lost circulation in higher zones it was decided to run and cement 9-5/8 inch J55x40 lb. STC casing at 1,110 feet. 8-1/2 inch hole was then drilled to total depth, 1,898 feet.
Recent, Pleistocene, Pliocene, and Miocene sediments were penetrated; basement was encountered at 1,795 feet.
Fourteen cores were cut during the drilling of the bore, using a 20-foot Reed K500 "Kor-King" barrel.
Both hard and soft formation 5-5/8 inch core heads were used.
The hole was logged to total depth with a Failing Logmaster, giving the self-potential, 16 and 63 inch
normal and single point resistivity, and gamma ray curves.
No shows of oil or gas were noted, and in consequence no drill stem tests were carried out. Three
deviation surveys were made; the maximum deviation was 1/2 degree at 1,580 feet.
The bore was abandoned as a dry hole by placing cement plugs from 1,160 to 1,060 feet and from 50 feet to surface; a metal name plate affixed to a projecting pipe was welded on to the cap sealing the bore.
