The tenements also surround the Grevillea Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation, hosted in prospective fine-grained carbonate and argillaceous carbonaceous lithologies of the Proterozoic McNamara Group and cover part of the Termite Range Fault.

The area is very sparsely populated and the main land use is cattle grazing. Mount Isa is the nearest centre of population. Access to the leases is via unsealed, but well maintained, gazetted roads connecting Lawn Hill National Park, located to the north of the tenure, to the Gregory Downs town ship and Mount Isa. Station tracks provide adequate dry-weather access to most areas within the tenement. Unsealed airstrips are available at Riversleigh homestead and near the Grevillea prospect. The perennial Gregory and O’Shannasy Rivers flow through the tenements and provide adequate drinking water. Ground water is also available from a number of water bores. The physiography varies from broad open black soil plains and alluvial plains adjacent to the Gregory and O’Shannasy Rivers to low undulating sandstone hills in the north. Steep sided quartzite ridges are common in the eastern portion of the tenement and flat lying Cambrian limestone forms a plateau in the west. Isolated rugged outcrops of Tertiary limestone (map symbol Tc) that contain the ‘Riversleigh vertebrate fossil fauna’ occur in the adjoining tenement, EPM 7797. Most of the area is open woodland or grassland typified by Eucalyptus brevifolia and E. leucopholia (snappy gum), Acacia shirleyi (lancewood) and Triodia pungens (spinifex). Bauhinia trees (Lisiphyllum cunninghamii) and turpentine wattle (Acacia chisolmii) forms dense thickets in the east of the tenement package. The climate is semi-arid to sub-humid tropical, comprising a long dry winter and a short summer wet season with an average rainfall of 500 - 800mm during December to March. Summer maximum temperatures often exceed 40°C and winter minima can be below 5°C. 1.2 Tenure The tenements, Tenements, EPM 11453, EPM 11711, EPM 11773, EPM 12195 , EPM 12374 and EPM 12747 are held by SmartTrans Holdings Limited (SMA). Following the discovery of the Grevillea Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation on adjoining tenement EPM 7797 in 1993, six additional tenements were applied for and granted in September 2004.

(1990), who divided the area into four major stratigraphic units. The oldest sequence, designated basement by Blake et al. (1990), was deformed and metamorphosed during the Barramundi Orogeny that ended at about 1870 Ma. Cover sequence 1 consists of the Leichhardt Volcanics. It is overlain by cover sequence 2 that contains a thick sequence of clastics and volcanics, now known to include the Fiery Creek Volcanics (1709 Ma), Peters Creek Volcanics (1726 Ma) and the Weberra Granite. The youngest stratigraphic package, cover sequence 3, dates from about 1680 to 1590 Ma, and includes the Bigie Formation, Carters Bore Rhyolite (1678 Ma), Surprise Creek Formation and three laterally separate lithostratigraphic groups: the Fickling, McNamara and Mount Isa Groups. The Fickling Group is restricted to the north and separated from the central McNamara Group by the Elizabeth Creek Fault Zone; whereas, the Mount Gordon Fault Zone and Mount Isa Fault separate the McNamara and Mount Isa Groups.

  • Basin Inversion and Structural Architecture As Constraints on Fluid Flow and Pb-Zn Mineralisation in the Paleo-Mesoproterozoic S

CC BY 4.0 License. 1 Basin inversion and structural architecture as constraints on fluid 2 flow and Pb-Zn mineralisation in the Paleo-Mesoproterozoic 3 sedimentary sequences of northern Australia 4 5 George M. Gibson, Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University, Canberra ACT 6 2601, Australia 7 Sally Edwards, Geological Survey of Queensland, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 8 Brisbane, Queensland 4000, Australia 9 Abstract 10 As host to several world-class sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits and unknown quantities of conventional and 11 unconventional gas, the variably inverted 1730-1640 Ma Calvert and 1640-1580 Ma Isa superbasins of 12 northern Australia have been the subject of numerous seismic reflection studies with a view to better 13 understanding basin architecture and fluid migration pathways. Strikingly similar structural architecture 14 has been reported from much younger inverted sedimentary basins considered prospective for oil and gas 15 elsewhere in the world. Such similarities suggest that the mineral and petroleum systems in Paleo- 16 Mesoproterozoic northern Australia may have spatially and temporally overlapped consistent with the 17 observation that basinal sequences hosting Pb-Zn mineralisation in northern Australia are bituminous or 18 abnormally enriched in hydrocarbons. This points to the possibility of a common tectonic driver and shared 19 fluid pathways. Sediment-hosted Pb-Zn mineralisation coeval with basin inversion first occurred during the 20 1650-1640 Ma Riversleigh Tectonic Event towards the close of the Calvert Superbasin with further pulses 21 accompanying the 1620-1580 Ma Isa Orogeny which brought about closure of the Isa Superbasin.

Rough-tailed goanna is considered to be the ‘boss’ for the Camooweal Caves National Park. Photo NPRSR Camooweal Caves National Park Management Statement 2013 Vision The Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing’s Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS), in conjunction with the Indjalandji-Dhidhanu people, the Traditional Owners of the area, aim to restore and protect the natural and cultural values and to provide safe sustainable, nature based recreation and commercial tourism opportunities. Conservation purpose Camooweal Caves National Park of 13,800ha was initially gazetted on 23 January 1988 under the National Park and Wildlife Act 1975. It is approximately 24km south of Camooweal in north-western Queensland and 188km north-west of the city of Mount Isa and 14km east of the Northern Territory border. Camooweal Caves National Park is important for the Indjalandji-Dhidhanu People who have dreamtime legends associated with the area, in particular the waterholes, rivers, sinkholes and caves. The Camooweal Caves are extensive cavern systems developed beneath the flat surface of the Barkly Tableland in the vicinity of Camooweal township. The park was established to provide representation of these more broadly occurring geological features.

  • Mount Isa Inlier Bioregion
    Mount Isa Inlier bioregion Description Figure 2 Monitoring data coverage Area: 66 640 km2 NT The landforms of the Mount Isa Inlier bioregion include rugged hills and mountain ranges separated by undulating valleys. The predominant vegetation is low open woodland over spinifex hummock grassland. The major land use is cattle grazing on pastoral leases. Mining (copper and lead-zinc) is very important to QLD the bioregion’s economy, and tourism is expanding. Major population centres are Mount Isa and Cloncurry. Location The Mt Isa Inlier bioregion is located in western bioregion boundary AussieGRASS data Queensland with a very small portion (0.3%) extending into the Northern Territory (NT; see Monitoring data coverage Figures 1 and 2). Data sources available Figure 1 Location of the Mount Isa Data sources include: Inlier bioregion n AussieGRASS simulation (of pasture growth and utilisation) and remote sensing (Multiple Regression Bare Ground Index, version bi1); these data sources provide low to moderate reliability for reporting change (entire rangelands, simulated results with some ground validation rather than direct measurement or observation) n domestic stocking density, which provides moderate reliability n fire extent, intensity and frequency, which provides high reliability n dust n distance from water Location of Mount Isa Inlier bioregion n distribution and relative abundance of invasive animals and weeds n land use n land values. Mount Isa Inlier bioregion 1 Climate Utilisation was close to the safe threshold for the Thorntonia sub-IBRA. The Mount Isa Inlier bioregion has a hot and semiarid climate with summer-dominant rainfall. Utilisation decreased by 4% (absolute, and 19% in Spatially averaged median (1890–2005) rainfall is relative terms) for the Southwestern Plateaus 388 mm (April to March rainfall year; see Figure 3).
