Abstract:

AbstractThe earliest of four distinct phases of deformation recognized in the central part of the Proterozoic Mount Isa inlier involved brittle extensional faulting at shallow crustal levels. Extensional faulting produced stacks of imbricate fault slices, listric normal faults and characteristic tourmalinerich breccias. Structures belonging to this phase occur over a large part of the inlier and indicate an important phase of basin-forming crustal or lithospheric extension at 1750–1730 Ma. Late intense ductile deformation and tight folding of the imbricate systems destroyed part of these older structures, and obscures their existence in many parts of the inlier.

Abstract:

The Ernest Henry Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold deposit is the largest known Cu-Au deposit in the Eastern Succession of the Proterozoic Mount Isa Inlier, NW Queensland. Cu-Au mineralization is hosted in a K-feldspar altered breccia, bounded by two major pre-mineralization shear zones. Previous research suggests that Cu-Au mineralization and the ore-bearing breccia formed simultaneously through an eruption style explosive/implosive event, facilitated by the mixing of fluids at ~1530 Ma. However, the preservation of a highly deformed, weakly mineralized, pre-mineralization feature (termed the Inter-lens) within the orebody indicates that this model must be re-examined. The paragenesis of the Inter-lens is broadly consistent with previous studies on the deposit, and consists of albitization; an apatite-calcite-quartz-garnet assemblage; biotite-magnetite ± garnet alteration; K-feldspar ± hornblende alteration; Cu-Au mineralization and post-mineralization alteration and veining. Apatite from the paragenetically early apatite-calcite-quartz-garnet assemblage produce U–Pb ages of 1584 ± 22 Ma and 1587 ± 22 Ma, suggesting that the formation of apatite, and the maximum age of the Inter-lens is synchronous with D2 deformation of the Isan Orogeny and regional peak-metamorphic conditions. Apatite rare earth element-depletion trends display: (1) a depletion in rare earth elements evenly, corresponding with an enrichment in arsenic and (2) a selective light rare earth element depletion. Exposure to an acidic NaCl and/or CaCl2-rich sedimentary-derived fluid is responsible for the selective light rare earth element-depletion trend, while the exposure to a neutral to alkaline S, Na-, and/or Ca-rich magmatic fluid resulted in the depletion of rare earth elements in apatite evenly, while producing an enrichment in arsenic. We suggest the deposit experienced at least two hydrothermal events, with the first event related to peak-metamorphism (~1585 Ma) and a subsequent event related to the emplacement of the nearby (~1530 Ma) Williams–Naraku Batholiths. Brecciation resulted from competency contrasts between ductile metasedimentary rocks of the Inter-lens and surrounding shear zones against the brittle metavolcanic rocks that comprise the ore-bearing breccia, providing permeable pathways for the subsequent ore-bearing fluids.

Abstract:

The Mount Isa Basin is a new concept to describe the area of Palaeo- to Mesoproterozoic rocks south of the Murphy Inlier (not the Murphy Tectonic Ridge) and inappropriately described as the Mount Isa Inlier. The new basin concept presented in this paper allows the characterisation of basin-wide structural deformation and the recognition of areas with petroleum exploration potential.The northern depositional margin of the Mount Isa Basin is the metamorphic, intrusive and volcanic complex referred to as the Murphy Inlier. The eastern, southern and western boundaries of the basin are obscured by younger basins (Carpentaria, Eromanga and Georgina Basins). The Murphy Inlier rocks comprise the seismic basement to the Mount Isa Basin sequence. Evidence for the continuity of the Mount Isa Basin with the McArthur Basin to the northwest and the Willyama Block (Basin) at Broken Hill to the south is presented. These areas combined with several other areas of similar age are believed to have comprised the Carpentarian Superbasin.The application of seismic exploration within Authority to Prospect (ATP) 423P at the northern margin of the basin was critical to the recognition and definition of the Mount Isa Basin. The northern Mount Isa Basin is structurally analogous to the Palaeozoic Arkoma Basin of Oklahoma and Arkansas in the southern USA but as with all basins it contains unique characteristics, a function of its individual development history. The northern Mount Isa Basin is defined as the basin area northwest of the Mount Gordon Fault.

Abstract:

An airborne survey was undertaken on the Mount Isa inlier in 1990–1992. During this survey, both airborne magnetic and gamma‐ray spectrometric data were recorded over 639 170 line-km. Because of perceived value of the radiometric data, stringent calibration procedures, including the creation of a test range, were adopted. In addition to the data from the newly‐flown areas, 76 760 line‐km of existing data were acquired from other companies, and were reprocessed and merged with the Mount Isa survey. The total area covered by the Mount Isa airborne survey was 151 300 km2. Over the last five years, several studies have been undertaken that seek to exploit the Mount Isa region gamma‐ray database and maximise the use of radiometrics for mineral exploration. This paper highlights the results of these studies by focussing on radiometric signatures of major mines in the Mount Isa Inlier, radioelement contour maps, geomagnetic/radiometric interpretation maps, lithological mapping, regolith mapping, geochemical sampling, and spatial modeling using geographical information systems (GIS). Due to the recent introduction of GIS technology and better techniques for handling high quality digital data, there has been a revived interest in making more use of image data sets. The integration of raster and vector data sets for both spectral and spatial modeling has maximized the potential of this approach.

Full text

Abstract:

An unknown sedimentary sequence was first recorded during a Geoscience Australia/ Geological Survey of Queensland/ pmd*CRC deep seismic reflection survey in the Mount Isa Inlier and adjacent undercover terrains, during 2006/07. The sequence occurs unconformably underneath the Carpentaria Basin succession in the Julia Creek area, east of Cloncurry in north Queensland, and is named the Millungera Basin. A section through the basin is recorded along seismic line 07GA–IG1, recorded between north of Cloncurry to east of Croydon. In this section three internal sequences are noted—with two strongly reflective units separated by a poorly reflective unit. As well as deep crustal seismic reflection profiles, magnetotelluric profiles were collected along the same traverse. These data show a moderately conductive Millungera Basin underlying the strongly conductive Carpentaria Basin. Zones of limited reflectors beneath the basin in the seismic sections have been interpreted as granites, raising the possibility of raised geothermal gradients. The Millungera Basin may comprise a potential geothermal target. The Millungera Basin sequence is interpreted to overlie granites. Adjacent Proterozoic granites of the Williams Batholith are known to be high heat producing granites, containing high levels of potassium thorium and uranium. The hydrocarbon potential of the basin is similarly uncertain. Strong reflectors in the seismic sections may be coal beds. Although the depth of the basin in the seismic section is insufficient to have reached the oil window, interpretation of gravity profiles by Geoscience Australia suggest the basin deepens to the south, possibly reaching 4,000 m. If fertile beds have reached the oil window, the structurally more complex eastern side of the basin may contain petroleum traps. The age of the rocks in the Millungera Basin is not known. Constraints from the seismic suggest between the early Mesoproterozoic and the Middle Jurassic. Investigations into the nature of the basin are continuing. A more detailed magnetotellurc survey is being undertaken to better define the shape of the basin. In order to reliably describe the basins components, a deep drilling program is required.
