This paper details the logic behind the first application of commercial seismic reflection surveys in the Tennant Creek Mineral Field (TCMF) by Emmerson Resources Limited (ERM). It includes the interpretation and results of the deepest surface drillhole designed to test the seismic anomalies beneath known ironstones that were generated from a line of seismic reflection within the Gecko mine area (Figure 1). This high-risk drilling was made possible by co-funding from the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) as part of the CORE program and our Joint Venture partners, Evolution Mining (EVN). Encouragement from the drilling results led to a 60 km regional traverse of 2D seismic reflection extending over a large part of the northern Warramunga Province (Figure 1). This traverse provides the first look at the ‘crustal plumbing’ of this well-endowed goldcopper province and images many key ingredients of the exploration model including relationships between deep- |
