Geological Survey of Queensland: new and upcoming data releases for north-west Queensland

摘要

The first year of the Queensland Government’s $27.125 million Strategic Resources Exploration Program has seen the commencement of several geophysical data programs aimed at promoting discoveries in north-west Queensland (see Figure 1) and the release of some keenly anticipated data. The Cloncurry South and Mary Kathleen airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys have been released on QDEX Data. These high resolution surveys (100 m and 50 m spacing respectively) provide a seamless coverage over the area and show a marked improvement in data quality compared to the previous Mount Isa Mines Open Range survey acquired in the 1990s (see Figure 2).
