Exploring for the Future, Strontium, Oxygen and Carbon Isotopes from NDI Carrara 1, South Nicholson Region, Australia

<div>Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future program provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources.</div><div><br></div><div>In order to gain insights into the resource potential of the South Nicholson region, a key region of focus for EFTF, National Drilling Initiative (NDI) Carrara&nbsp;1 stratigraphic drill hole was completed in late 2020, as a collaboration between Geoscience Australia, the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS), and the MinEx CRC. NDI Carrara&nbsp;1 is the first drill hole to intersect the, as yet, undifferentiated Proterozoic rocks of the newly defined Carrara Sub-Basin within the South Nicholson region. NDI Carrara&nbsp;1 is located on the western flank of the Carrara Sub-basin, reaching a total depth of 1751&nbsp;m, intersecting ca. 630&nbsp;m of Cambrian Georgina Basin overlying ca. 1100&nbsp;m of Proterozoic carbonates, black shales and minor siliciclastics.</div><div><br></div><div>Geoscience Australia is undertaking a range of investigations on the lithology, stratigraphy and geotechnical properties of NDI Carrara&nbsp;1 based on wireline data, as well as undertaking a range of analyses of over 400 physical samples recovered through the entire core. These analyses include geochronology, isotopic studies, mineralogy, inorganic and organic geochemistry, petrophysics, geomechanics, thermal maturity, and petroleum systems investigations. Hylogger™ data is available at the NTGS Geoscience Exploration and Mining Information System (GEMIS) webpage.</div><div><br></div><div>This data release presents results for analyses on selected rock samples from NDI Carrara 1, conducted by the Mawson Analytical Spectrometry Services, University of Adelaide, under contract to Geoscience Australia. These results include:</div><div><br></div><div>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Carbon (δ13C), oxygen (δ18O) and strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotopes on carbonate bearing samples, and</div><div>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trace element data on the leachates prepared for 87Sr/86Sr ratio analyses.</div><div><br></div>
