Magnetotelluric survey · Queensland · Geological Survey of Queensland

One hundred and fourteen magnetotelluric soundings at 113 sites over the Black Cat Bore iron oxide copper gold target and the Jimmy's Creek prospect, north east of Mount Isa, Queensland, recorded by Moombarriga Geoscience for Red Metal between 25 March and 18 April 2022 under a Geological Survey of Queensland Collaborative Exploration Initiative grant, to test whether magnetotellurics resolves the breccia complex that hosts known mineralisation beneath conductive Mesozoic cover.

About this survey

One hundred and fourteen magnetotelluric soundings at 113 sites over the Black Cat Bore iron oxide copper gold target and the Jimmy's Creek prospect, north east of Mount Isa, Queensland, recorded by Moombarriga Geoscience for Red Metal between 25 March and 18 April 2022 under a Geological Survey of Queensland Collaborative Exploration Initiative grant, to test whether magnetotellurics resolves the breccia complex that hosts known mineralisation beneath conductive Mesozoic cover. Black Cat holds 101 sites over about 4.5 by 2.3 km, Jimmy's Creek 12 on two traverses 9 km south, neighbouring sites a median 242 m apart. Each site recorded two 80 m dipoles and three magnetic channels on a Phoenix MTU-5C for a median 20.6 hours, remote referenced in EMpower against another production site. Served is the contractor's EMpower spectra export, the release's only rendition, spanning 0.0001 s to 5825.42 s, 84 to 104 periods a site and 11,472 in all.
