Crustal architecture along seismic line 22GA-CD2 new insights from the Darling-Curnamona-Delamerian deep seismic reflection survey

<div><strong>Output type: </strong>Exploring for the Future Extended Abstract</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Short abstract: </strong> Crustal architecture provides first order controls on the distribution of mineral resources of an area and is best imaged by deep seismic reflection data. Here we present a first interpretation of seismic line 22GA-CD2, acquired as part of the Darling-Curnamona-Delamerian (DCD) project. Line 22GA-CD2 images the central eastern Delamerian Orogen, where basement rocks are concealed by the Murray Basin. Key findings include: (i) the crustal architecture preserves many characteristics of the early evolution of west-dipping Delamerian subduction, accretion and orogeny between ~ 515 Ma - 495 Ma. This initial configuration has been reworked and reactivated during younger orogenic events; (ii) the lower and middle crust constitutes the newly defined Barrier Seismic Province, which is also imaged in legacy seismic reflection line 05GA-TL1 and interpreted to continue northeast to the Olepoloko Fault; (iii) a similar seismic character to that of the Barrier Seismic Province has been observed in legacy seismic reflection lines in Victoria and related to a Cambrian accretionary setting and adjacent foreland; (iv) the present-day upper crustal configuration is largely the result of contractional fault reactivation, with significant vertical movements during the Kanimblan-Alice Springs Orogeny (~ 360 Ma - 340 Ma); (v) a large area of prospective rocks for mineral deposits with Cambrian arc-affiliation are accessible to exploration under shallow cover of the Murray Basin (often less than 200 m).</div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div><strong>Citation: </strong>Doublier M.P., et al., 2024.
