Presentations
A Gravity Case Study of the Podolsky Deposit, Sudbury Basin
By Elizabeth Baranyi of Geosoft.
Sunday, August 22, 2010 @ 13:15
Four Points Darling Harbour Hotel (Ballroom) 
- The Sudbury Basin in Ontario Canada is a well known Paleoproterozoic geological structure. It is a deformed multi-ring impact basin that hosts Ni-Cu-PGE sulphides. Sudbury has been mined over the last 150 years and is still in production and under active exploration. This presentation will investigate a recent airborne gravity survey in the north-eastern rim of the Sudbury Basin, along with the superimposed magnetic data to shed light on the detail that emerges from the high volume of gravity data and the Lidar terrain model. We resolve structural detail that was not possible in the earlier gravity prospecting in this region.
This presentation has been made possible through collaboration with Sander Geophysics – Ottawa under the auspices of FNX Mining Company – Toronto.

Interpretation and Modeling of the Pedirka Basin (central Australia) using Magnetics and Gravity.

ASEG-PESA 2010 Confernence and Exhibition
- The Pedirka Basin straddles right centrally on the Northern Territory – South Australian border. The area includes other sedimentary basins and together they form the Amadeus-Pedirka-Simpson-Eromanga basin system. Much of the region has exploration licences, however hydrocarbon and coal exploration has been negligible compared to the nearby Cooper Basin region, with the first drilling activity for decades taking place in 2008. Seismic interpretation has been almost the primary source for interpretations in the area. Given the sparse nature of this data there is still a great deal of ambiguity in important structural information.
Recent airborne magnetic data and gravity data is now available over the Pedirka area however this data has not been fully exploited to date. Exploration over the Pedirka Basin is now looking for the deeper, more thermally mature source areas in the troughs. The aim of this research is to capitalize on this potential field data for interpretation and modeling purposes in order to gain new insights into the structures, depths and boundaries of the region.
