Magnetotelluric (MT) measures the natural variations of the Earth's magnetic and electrical (telluric) fields. The Audio-Magnetotelluric method (AMT) samples signals in the frequency range of 10k Hz down to ~1Hz and provides information to the upper few kilometres of the crust. AMT data were collected at ten sites in the southern Thomson Orogen using Phoenix Geophysics equipment (MTU-5A, MTC-150L and PE5 electrodes). Instrument deployment periods were 7/Oct -29/Oct 2015 and 03/Aug-10/Aug 2016. Time series data were processed into frequency domain using remote reference and Robust Processing scheme. After quality assurance, processed data were exported to industry-standard EDI files. Time series data are available on request.

The Australian Lithospheric Architecture Magnetotelluric Project (AusLAMP): New South Wales (NSW) magnetotelluric survey is a collaborative project between the Geological Survey of New South Wales (GSNSW) and Geoscience Australia. Long period magnetotelluric data are being acquired at around 305 sites on a half degree grid spacing across the state of NSW. <u>Phase one</u> This record outlines the field acquisition, data QA/QC, and data processing methodologies relating to the 224 sites released in phase one. The data are released in EDI format containing impedance estimates and transfer functions for each processed site. <u>Phase two</u> A further 73 EDI format data are released as part of phase two. These data were collected and processed using the same methodology as described in the GA record released as part of phase one.

Magnetotelluric (MT) measures the natural variations of the Earth' magnetic and electrical (telluric) fields. The Audio-Magnetotelluric method (AMT) samples signal frequencies in the range of 20k Hz down to ~1Hz and provides data pertaining to the upper few kilometres of the Earth' crust. Broadband MT (BBMT) measures frequencies ranging from ~400 Hz down to periods of ~5000 s, providing measures of the conductivity of the crust. AMT and BBMT data were acquired at 138 stations with an interval of 2.5-5.0 km along a 690 km transect extending from Four Ways to Longreach in the South-eastern Mount Isa region. Full-waveform time series data were acquired and processed into frequency-domain transfer functions. Remote reference was applied to eliminate uncorrelated noise. After quality assurance, processed data were exported to industry-standard EDI files containing site info, impedance tensor, apparent resistivity, phase and vertical transfer function.

<p>The East Tennant Magnetotelluric (MT) Survey is funded under Geoscience Australia’s (GA) Exploring for the Future program. The survey is aimed to assist in regional stratigraphic drilling program to understand basement architecture and mineral potential in the east of Tennant Creek, Northern Territory, Australia. The survey covers an area of approximate 90 km x 100 km. Geoscience Australia contracted Zonge Engineering and Research Organisation (Australia) to undertake the survey from 22nd July to 19th Aug 2019. Broadband Magnetotelluric and Audio Magnetotelluric data were acquired at 131 stations with site spacing of ~2 km to ~15 km. <p>This data package includes MT data originally processed by the contractor and edited MT data by GA for modelling purpose. All the data were industry-standard EDI files. <p>Time series data are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au

Magnetotelluric survey data acquired in association with the L190 Gawler-Officer-Musgrave-Amadeus Deep Crustal Seismic Survey. This survey was co-funded through AuScope, Primary Industry and Resources South Australia and Geoscience Australia's Onshore Energy Security Program. Data was acquired, processed and modelled by Geoscience Australia. The aim of the survey was to produce a two-dimensional image of electrical conductivity structure of the crust and upper mantle. This information is complementary to the reflection seismic and gravity data acquired along the 08GA-OM1 traverse. Data are supplied as EDI files with support information.

Magnetotelluric survey data acquired in association with the L192 Georgina-Arunta Deep Crustal Seismic Survey. This survey was funded through the Onshore Energy Security Program using the Auscope equipment from the ANSIR pool. The aim of the survey was to produce a two-dimensional image of electrical conductivity structure of the crust and upper mantle over the western Georgina Basin and the Arunta region of the Northern Territory. This information is complementary to the reflection seismic and gravity data acquired along the 09GA-GA1 traverse. Data are supplied as EDI files with support information.

Magnetotelluric (MT) measures the natural variations of the Earth’ magnetic and electrical (telluric) fields. MT data were collected at forty-three sites in the Coompana region in Apr 2016 and Feb 2017. The instruments used were Phoenix Geophysics equipment including MTU-5A receiver, MTC-150L coils and PE5 electrodes. Time series data were processed into frequency domain using remote reference and Robust Processing scheme. After quality assurance, processed data were exported to industry-standard EDI files. Time series data are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au.

Magnetotelluric survey data acquired in association with the L189 Gawler-Curnamona-Arrowie Deep Crustal Seismic Survey over the Curnamona Province. This survey was funded through the Onshore Energy Security Program. Data was acquired by Quantec Geoscience. Analysis and modelling was undertaken by Geoscience Australia . The aim of the survey was to produce a two-dimensional image of electrical conductivity structure of the crust and upper mantle over the Curnamona Province. This information is complementary to the reflection seismic and gravity data acquired along the 08GA-C1 traverse. Data are supplied as EDI files with support information.

The Coompana Project is a collaborative project between Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA), which aims to provide new precompetitive geological, geophysical and geochemical data in the under-explored Coompana Province in South Australia. The pre-drilling geophysics program was undertaken to assist the drilling process by reducing the uncertainty associated with intersecting the targeted stratigraphy. Firstly, the magnetotellurics (MT) technique was tested at six sites where previous drill holes were located to benchmark the application of MT method with respect to estimating cover thickness in the region. Comparison with drill-hole details indicates that the method is capable of identifying major stratigraphic structures and providing cover thickness estimates with a reasonable accuracy (within 10%). Subsequently, MT data were acquired at eight proposed drilling sites in February 2017. 1D and 2D data modelling were undertaken using different algorithms to improve confidence level. Finally, estimates of the cover thickness with specified uncertainty at proposed drilling sites are produced. This report presents MT data acquisition and processing, data inversion and preliminary interpretation of model results. Limitations and uncertainty associated with the MT technique is discussed.

The magnetotelluric (MT) data were acquired along a total of 690 km of the Youanmi deep seismic reflection traverses 10GA-YU1, 10GA-YU2 and 10GA-YU3-in Western Australia. This was a collaborative project between Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA), which provided the funding. The aim of the MT survey was to produce information of the electrical conductivity structure of the crust and upper mantle. This information is complementary to that obtained from deep seismic reflection, gravity, magnetic and geological data, which together provide new knowledge of the crustal architecture, rock properties and geodynamics of the region, important for helping to determine the potential for both mineral and energy resources. Data are supplied as EDI files with support information.
