    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.

    4.0 Overview of the Regional Surface and Subsurface Geology of the Duaringa Basin

    Duaringa Basin Report on Hydrological Investigations 4.0 Overview of the Regional Surface and Subsurface Geology of the Duaringa Basin 4.1 Introduction The surface geology of the Duaringa Basin project site and surrounding environment is characterised by the surface exposures of the Tertiary age Duaringa Formation sediments and surrounding exposures of the Permian age sediments (Figure 4.1). The Duaringa Formation is composed of interbedded mudstones, shale, oil shale siltstone and lignite beds and rare sandstone, conglomerate and basalt beds (Day et al., 1983). The Permian age sediments are part of the Bowen Basin stratigraphic sequence. The overlying Tertiary age Duaringa Formation does not form part of the formal Bowen Basin stratigraphic sequence. The surface exposures of the Duaringa Formation can be differentiated into recent exposures and older lateritic tablelands. There are also some small outcrops of Tertiary age volcanics exposed through the Tertiary age and Permian age sediments present in and near the Duaringa Basin. The significant rivers, such as the Mackenzie River and Dawson River, which traverse the Duaringa Basin, have deposited large volumes of alluvial sediment in broad braided plains on both the Duaringa Formation and Permian age sediments. The Duaringa Basin along with the Biloela Basin and Hillsborough Basin formed during the opening of the Coral Sea during the Eocene between 52 and 34 million years ago (SRK, 2008). These basins are bounded by NE to SW trending bounding faults along their western margins. Movement along these faults is largely sinistal (left lateral). However, there has been significant downward movement on the eastern side of the fault blocks, which has opened deep asymmetrical grabens (Veevers and Powell, 1994).

  • Review of the Fitzroy River Water Quality Issues

    Review of the Fitzroy River Water Quality Issues

    Report to Queensland Premier Review of the Fitzroy River Water Quality Issues Professor Barry Hart Water Science Pty Ltd and Water Studies Centre, Monash University In collaboration with Professor Paul Greenfield, University of Queensland Mark Pascoe, International Water Centre November 2008 Acknowledgements I am most grateful for the excellent cooperation and speedy responses to my many questions and requests from all involved in this review. My particular thanks to DNRW Rockhampton (Ed Donohue and his team) and Ensham Resources (Colin Moffett) for their assistance. Also I am most grateful to Graeme Milligan and Ed Donohue (DNRW), Lindsay Delzoppo (EPA) and Alex Beavers (Premiers) for their assistance as my ’Steering Committee’. Headline Findings 1. The decision by the EPA to issue Ensham with a Transitionary Environmental Program (TEP) that permitted the discharge of a very large quantity of mine- affected water into the Nogoa-Mackenzie-Fitzroy River system over 7 months February to September) in 2008 was justifiable. 2. However, this discharge has resulted in: • discomfort to the residents of Tieri, Blackwater, Bluff, Middlemount and Dysart due to the poor drinking water quality, but no serious health effects (short or long term), • potential discomfort to the residents of Rockhampton due to poor drinking water quality if the system is not flushed this wet season, • unquantified effects on the riverine biota, and a high likelihood that there will be serious adverse effects on the spawning success of Fitzroy Golden Perch when the poor quality water (high salinity) is flushed out of the river during the early part of the wet season, exactly the time when this species spawns, • no serious short or long term problems for agriculture (irrigation, stock watering), • Stanwell Power Station needing to make a range of plant modifications and gain an EPA-approved TEP relating to management of its water discharges.
