Sixteen samples from the Mobil Petroleum exploration well Cody 1, Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia were examined for conodonts and other phosphatic microfossils. Conodonts were recovered in four samples and other faunal elements were found in an additional nine samples

The world class Callie lode gold mine is one of several gold deposits located at the Dead Bullock Soak goldfield in the Northern Territory Tanami Desert, about 550km northwest of Alice Springs. Its high grade and high tonnage make it an important system to understand in terms of regional mineralising processes. The aim of this research was to elucidate the important factors contributing to the formation of such a large deposit, and what features might be important for refining exploration strategies in the region.

This report records the findings of a consultancy undertaken by the Minerals and Land Use Division of the Australian Geological Survey Organisation on behalf of North Flinders Mines. The two general objectives of this consultancy were (1) to form an opinion of the prospectivity of the Tanami region (particularly NFM tenements) for unconformity-associated Au-Pt-Pd±U mineralisation (2) to advise on exploration indicators of such mineralisation to be expected in the Tanami Region.

I was asked to examine 61 thin sections from the Horne of Bullion mine area east of Barrow Creek, Northern Territory. The thin sections were of rocks from an area believed to be prospective for Au ± Cu mineralisation of early Proterozoic age and possibly analogous to mineralisation styles similar to that found in other Proterozoic belts such as Cloncurry, Tennant Creek and the Granites/Tanami. This report is divided into 3 sections. Section 1 comprises a synthesis of the thin sections examined, Section 2 contains a discussion of the regional factors, whilst Section 3 discusses some implications for mineralisation. Appendix 1 contains brief petrographic descriptions of the thin sections supplied. In preparing this report, I have consulted with Dr Gladys Warren (because of her experience with granitic and metamorphic rocks of the Amnta Region, and her experience in the Barrow Creek area) and Dr Dean Hoatson (because of his experience with Precambrian layered intrusions including the Munni Munni Complex of the Pilbara Block and various Palaeoproterozoic mafic intrusions of the Halls Creek Inlier). However, all interpretations presented in this report are my own.

This document describes opportunities for supporting the Philippines CSCAND agencies to enhance their capacity to assess the risk and impact from natural hazards based on an assessment of current gaps. The CSCAND agencies include the Mines & Geosciences Bureau, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, Philippine Atmospheric, the Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, the National Mapping and Resource Information Agency, and the Office of Civil Defence. It is important to note that efforts to assess natural hazard risk are only one mechanism by which the CSCAND agencies support the reduction of disaster risk in the Philippines and that this paper covers only a part of the disaster risk reduction activity spectrum.
