The L210 South Nicholson 1096 km-long deep seismic reflection lines were acquired from 6 June to 14 August, 2017. The survey involved the acquisition of seismic reflection and gravity data along five traverses, 17GA-SN1 (375 km), 17GA-SN2 (213 km), 17GA-SN3 (58 km), 17GA-SN3 (98 km), and 17GA-SN5 (352 km). The South Nicholson seismic survey was undertaken in collaboration with and funded by: The energy theme in Geoscience Australia - Exploring for the Future; Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS); Department of Natural Resources and Mines - through the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ); and AuScope. Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 116881

The Tennant Creek crustal reflection seismic survey was co-funded by the Northern Territory Government through the Creating Opportunities for Resource Exploration (CORE) initiative and Emmerson Resources Limited. HiSeis Pty Ltd acquired the 60 km 2D seismic line (Line 101) proximal to the Tennant Creek town site and mining facilities, from 14 June to the 21 June 2015. Geoscience Australia, as part of the Exploring for the Future funding, provided specialised hard-rock seismic data processing to image deep crustal structures and sedimentary layers at the near surface. The objective of the 2D survey was to define the regional scale structures contributing to the mineralisation in the area and target previously unidentified areas of prospectivity in the Tennant Creek Mineral Field, as well as demonstrate the value of seismic reflection for the minerals industry and to the geoscience community.
