  • Gold in Central Queensland
    73 GOLD OCCURRENCES IN CENTRAL QUEENSLAND Extract from the Queensland Mining Guide No attempt is made in this portion of the Mining Guide to deal with the past history of the various mining fields or to describe the many mines being worked in the State. The object rather is to show - both to the individual prospector and to the mining investor - some of the mining possibilities of each of the districts mentioned, passing reference being made to particular mines in certain cases only. Slight reference only has been made to geological features. The relative importance of deposits and districts mentioned cannot be gauged by the lengths of the references in these notes. On many of the old fields the conditions are well known, or can be ascertained at the main centres. Special attention has been drawn to some of the lesser known fields. Any person or company desirous of obtaining further details in relation to any of the nines, deposits, or localities referred to should communicate with the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Brisbane, or with the nearest Warden, Inspector of Mines, or District Geologist. General area covered by this report The Reworking of Deposits The fact that certain ore-bodies were worked years ago and were abandoned does not necessarily imply that such deposits cannot be worked profitably under different conditions. The metal market is always a primary factor in deciding the success or 1:250 000 scale maps failure of mining ventures. The utilization of First edition 1968/75 modern methods of mining and treatment may bring renewed life to some mines.

  • The Archaeology of the Southern Curtis Coast: an Overview
    THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE SOUTHERN CURTIS COAST: AN OVERVIEW SEAN ULM AND IAN LILLEY Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, 4072, Australia Since 1993 archaeological surveys and excavations have been undertaken on the southern Curtis Coast as the coastal component of the Gooreng Gooreng Cultural Heritage Project. This paper briefly outlines the physical environment of the study region including geology, vegetation and fauna communities before presenting the preliminary results of archaeological surveys and excavations. These initial results suggest that the region has an extensive mid-to-late Holocene archaeological record that has the potential to contribute to understandings of changes in late Holocene Aboriginal societies in Central Queensland.

  • Nagoorin Oil Shale Deposit Resource Estimate Update September 2014
    Nagoorin Oil Shale Deposit Resource Estimate Update September 2014 Nagoorin Oil Shale Deposit STATEMENT - SPE-PRMS PETROLEUM RESOURCE ESTIMATE - NAGOORIN This report is an update on the initial SPE-PRMS report for the Nagoorin Oil Shale deposit issued in April 2014. The criteria and assumptions which underpin the estimate were reviewed and remain unchanged. The Petroleum Resource estimate is based on the discovered Petroleum Initially in Place (PIIP); estimated using polygonal blocks. The methodology used is a deterministic method where the JORC 2012 guideline levels of categorisation (Measured, Indicated and Inferred) quantify the range of uncertainty or confidence levels for the deposit. The estimate is based on the following constraints and data: • Interpretation of intersected stratigraphy in 53 pre-collared cored and auger sample drill holes drilled to a maximum depth of 687 metres below surface for an aggregate 10,566 metres. • The maximum depth for the estimate is 502 metres. • Oil grade has been determined by modified Fischer Assay (ASTM D3940-90) on 3,716 core samples representing approximately 7,400 metres of cored material. • Preliminary interpretation of 24.7km of 2D seismic land lines and core data from five CSG wells • An in-situ grade cut-off of 50 litres per tonne at zero per cent moisture (50LT0M) has been applied. • The resource is contained within an elongate surface area of 18.1 square kilometres. • A recovery factor of 0.95 has been applied to the in-situ estimate based on published recovery data from a number of conventional retort technologies both operating and under development. • The total estimate as at 30 September 2014 is apportioned to the tenement holders according to their beneficial interests in the Nagoorin deposit in Table 1.
