Increasing the prospectivity of northern Australia; impacts from the recent Exploring for the Future seismic acquisition and regional geology studies in the South Nicholson Region, Northern Territory.

Exploring for the Future (EFTF) is an ongoing multiyear (2016–2024) initiative of the Australian Government, conducted by Geoscience Australia. This program aims to improve Australia’s desirability for industry investment in resource exploration of frontier regions across Australia. This paper will focus on the science impacts delivered in central northern Australia, by the acquisition and interpretation of seismic surveys, petroleum geochemistry and the drilling of the NDI Carrara 1. This work has been undertaken in collaboration with the Northern Territory Geological Survey, the Queensland Geological Survey, AuScope and the MinEx CRC. The new data acquired across central northern Australia as part of the Exploring for the Future program are foundational datasets and includes seismic surveys, geochronology and geochemistry. These data link the highly prospective resource rich areas of the McArthur Basin and Mt Isa Province via a continuous seismic traverse across central northern Australia. The Exploring for the Future program aims to further de-risk exploration within greenfield regions and position northern Australia for future exploration investment.
