Mount Painter

 
The Mount Painter and Mount Babbage Inliers, in the northern Flinders Ranges, consist predominantly of Palaeoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic metasediments and granites, and Neoproterozoic to Cambrian sediments of the Adelaide Geosyncline.

The area is abundant in mineralisation, including Uranium, Rare Earths, Copper, Gold and Base Metals.

This model was constructed using Intrepid Geophysics' 3D Geomodeller (http://www.geomodeller.com/) and displays 3D objects representing the major stratigraphic units. 

 

 

 

 

  

PDF Format

In order to increase its accessibility, the Mount Painter model has been converted to .pdf format, allowing for maximum portability and eliminating the need for the end user to purchase any specialised software.
 
The user can fully interact with the model using Adobe Acrobat’s 3D Toolbar (Note: the toolbar varies with the version of Acrobat Reader):

  1. Rotate
  2. Spin
  3. Pan
  4. Zoom
  5. Default view
  6. Select view
  7. Toggle model tree
  8. Pause animation
  9. Use orthographic projection
  10. Model render mode
  11. Enable extra lighting
  12. Background colour (disabled if a gradient background is being used)

Adobe Acrobat 3D toolbar

The user can also:

  • Selectively activate and/or deactivate any geological unit, cross section or isopach 
  • Enable geological surfaces to be displayed as transparent, solid or as a solid-wireframe

Software Information
The models can be viewed with Acrobat Reader 9 as it incorporates 3D visualisation capabilities. Acrobat Reader 9 can be downloaded free from the Adobe website.

Assessment of mineral prospectivity of the northern Flinders Ranges using GIS analysis
W.M. Cowley, L.F. Katona and G. Gouthas

Outlines the data sources, methods used, and the results achieved, by the Geological Survey of South Australia, Primary Industries and Resources South Australia (PIRSA), in a GIS analysis of the mineral prospectivity and geological and exploration values of the northern Flinders Ranges. The prospectivity mapping was utilised in the document "Seeking a Balance" (Department for Environment and Heritage and PIRSA, 2009), which proposes a refined management and regulatory framework for ongoing resource activities.
