Cloncurry Magnetotelluric Survey

Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) conducted the Cloncurry Magnetotelluric (MT) survey. MT data (0.001 s to 1000 s in period) at 476 sites with a grid spacing of 2km were acquired over an approximate 40km x 60km area in the Cloncurry region from July to November 2016. The survey area covers the eastern margin of the Mount Isa Block situated to the west of the Eromanga Basin. The MT data can image the thickness of cover, the basement architecture and the crustal architecture in this area that has high resource exploration potential. Data QA/QC were performed during the data acquisition stage of the survey. This release includes processed MT data and a data acquisiton report written by the contractor. Details on the data processing, data analysis, and modelling/inversion of the data will be released as a comprehensive report at a later date.
