Abstract
The Palaeoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic (<1850-<1490 Ma) southern McArthur Basin, Northern Territory, Australia, contains an unmetamorphosed, relatively undeformed succession of carbonate, siliciclastic and volcanic rocks that host the McArthur River (HYC) Zn-Pb-Ag deposit. Seismic reflection data obtained across this basin have the potential to revolutionise our understanding of the crustal architecture in which this deposit formed. These data were collected in late 2002 as part of a study to examine the fundamental basin architecture of the southern McArthur Basin, particularly the Batten Fault Zone, and the nature of the underlying basement. Geoscience Australia, the Northern Territory Geological Survey and the Predictive Mineral Discovery Cooperative Research Centre combined to acquire an east-west deep seismic reflection profile (line 02GA-BT1) approximately 110 km long, commencing 15 km west of Borroloola, and extending westwards along the Borroloola-Roper Bar road to the Bauhinia Downs region (Fig. 1). A short 17 km north-south cross line (02GA-BT2) was also acquired in collaboration with AngloAmerican. The seismic data were acquired through the Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR).
