Abstract
The Mesoproterozoic South Nicholson Basin, straddling the NT and QLD border, sits between, and partly overlies, the Paleoproterozoic components of the Mount Isa Province to the east and the southern McArthur Basin to the northwest. While the McArthur Basin and Mount Isa Province are comparatively well studied and considered highly prospective for both mineral and energy resources, rocks of the South Nicholson region are mostly undercover and, as such, there is incomplete understanding of their geological evolution and resource potential. Geoscience Australia (in collaboration with the Northern Territory Geological Survey and the Geological Survey of Queensland, and co-funded by AuScope) undertook the South Nicholson Basin deep crustal seismic reflection survey (e.g. Carr et al., 2019). This survey was conducted under the federally funded Exploring for the Future (EFTF) initiative, a $100.4 million, four year program to evaluate the resource potential across all of northern Australia.
