Theme 4: From craton to basin: new geophysics
Theme 4 of PACE - From craton to basin: new geophysics - employs the latest geophysical methods to further enhance key prospective areas and to derive new information which can be presented in 3D format.
*NEW* 2007 PACE Northern Olympic Domain Gravity Survey
Background
Previous mineral exploration initiatives such as the South Australian the Targeted Exploration Initiative South Australia (TEISA) have all contributed to the understanding of the geology of South Australia. These initiatives have led the world in providing broad-scale pre-competitive data allowing explorers to "see" through the cover and allow explorers to better focus their exploration efforts.
PACE
The PACE initiative builds on this previous work by continuing the acquisition of broad-acre regional data over key prospective regions and areas and has already been seen exploration licence coverage increase by over 20% over targeted regions.
Moreover, a significant percentage of licence holders undertake detailed infill surveys and/or extend previous survey boundaries to augment the PACE data acquired.
New Data
As a result of the Theme 4 data acquisition, the following datasets have been made available:
- Northern Olympic Domain (2007) Gravity Data
- Area A and B Extension (2005): Central Gawler Craton Gravity Data
- Area C (2005): Central Curnamona Province Gravity Data
- Southern Stuart Shelf (2006) Gravity Data
- Tallaringa (2006): Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI), Radiometrics (4 and 256 Channel) and Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
- One Tree (2006): Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI), Radiometrics (4 and 256 Channel) and Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
