Tennant Creek 2D Crustal Reflection Seismic Survey, NT 2015

The Tennant Creek crustal reflection seismic survey was co-funded by the Northern Territory Government through the Creating Opportunities for Resource Exploration (CORE) initiative and Emmerson Resources Limited. HiSeis Pty Ltd acquired the 60 km 2D seismic line (Line 101) proximal to the Tennant Creek town site and mining facilities, from 14 June to the 21 June 2015. Geoscience Australia, as part of the Exploring for the Future funding, provided specialised hard-rock seismic data processing to image deep crustal structures and sedimentary layers at the near surface. The objective of the 2D survey was to define the regional scale structures contributing to the mineralisation in the area and target previously unidentified areas of prospectivity in the Tennant Creek Mineral Field, as well as demonstrate the value of seismic reflection for the minerals industry and to the geoscience community.
