Abstract
During May to October 2007 Geoscience Australia in collaboration with the Geological Survey of Queensland contracted Terrex Seismic to undertake the Mt Isa-Georgetown-Charters Towers Deep Seismic Reflection Survey. This survey acquired deep seismic reflection, gravity and magnetotelluric data along three traverses, 07GA-IG1, 07GA-IG2 and 07GA-GC1 (Figure 1). Funding for this survey was provided by Geoscience Australia's Onshore Energy Security Program and Queensland's Smart Mining - Future Prosperity Program, with the aims of the project to image from the eastern edge of the Mt Isa Province across the Georgetown Province and southeast through the Charters Towers region into the Drummond Basin (Figure 1). A fourth traverse (07GA-A1) was funded by AuScope, an initiative established under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy to characterise the structure and evolution of the Australian continent. This line imaged from Mareeba to Mt Surprise across the Palmerville Fault (part of the Tasman Line). A total of 1387 km of 2D seismic reflection data were collected to 20 seconds two way travel time over the four lines. The nominal CDP coverage was 60 fold for line 07GA-IG1 and was increased to 75 fold for the remaining three lines. The survey commenced on 19 May 2007 and was completed on 7 October 2007.
