Graham Heinson, Goran Boren, Jonathan Ross, Joan Campanya, Stephen Thiel and Katherine Selway University of Adelaide, Adelaide SA 5005 CAPRICORN SEISMIC and MT WORKSHOP 2011 Wednesday 23 rd November 2011 Mineral House, 100 Plain Street East Perth The Capricorn Orogen Magnetotelluric (MT) Transect

Capricorn MT Survey 3 survey lines 156 sites in total CP1: 13 Long Period, 39 Broad Band CP2: 19 Long Period, 55 Broad Band CP3: 8 Long Period, 22 Broad Band Long period Sampling rate: 10 Hz Deployment time: 5 Days Spacing: 15km Broad Band Sampling rate: 1000 Hz Deployment time 2-4 Days Spacing: 5km

Selway et al. (2009) published long-period MT results from two lines This survey adds to the extent of the lines and also includes broad-band data at smaller sampling intervals.

TMI (left) and Gravity (right) profiles. Yellow circles: long- period MT; Blue circles: broad-band MT

Induction arrows: left from Selway et al. (2009). Below: from this survey

Line CP1 Red symbols: long-period MT Green symbols: Broadband MT

Dimensionality Period 1s Northern line (CP1)

NorthSouth

CP1 Comments MT Data are quite distorted (not 2D, very 3D) Top 200 m conductive Then resistive layer (10 3 .m) Very conductive below 2 km (10 .m – we’d normally expect 10 4 .m) Appears to underlay all CP1 and northern CP2

Line CP2 Red symbols: long-period MT Green symbols: Broadband MT

Dimensionality Period 1s Center line (CP2)

NorthSouth

CP2 Comments MT Data are distorted (not 2D, very 3D) Very different crustal signature – North of dashed line upper crust is very conductive – South of dashed line, upper crust is much more resistive Some evidence of conductive shear zones through crust

Line CP3 Red symbols: long-period MT Green symbols: Broadband MT

Dimensionality Period 1s Southern line (CP3)

Broadband MT model Low resolution > 25 km Long-period MT model Low resolution < 25 km North South North South

CP3 Comments Much simpler data set, less distortion – Upper crust is much more “normal” – Conductive 10 .m sediments to 200 m Very conductive shear zone here – North of dashed line, crust is slightly more conductive – South of line, quite uniform

Conclusions 1.Errabiddy Shear Zone is clearly indentified in CP3. Zone of low resistivity 10 km wide, and extends to at least 25 km South-dipping, in both the low-resistivity shear zone, and also in the more resistive structures to the south

Conclusions 2.We do not resolve the depth and geometry of the Minnie Creek Batholith, but note that this is coincident with a profound change in the crustal resistivity along line CP2, which appears to be coincident with the Lyons River Fault.

Conclusions Little in terms of basin structure and faults in the Pilbara-Hamersley-Ashburton Basin-Edmund Basin (CP1-CP2) – Low-resistivity structures observed at depths of 2-10 km – Simple interpretation of the low- resistivity due to highly- connected magnetite – Higher resistivity layers above have lower magnetite content, either due to the depth of weathering front, or due to intrusive bodies in the south

Acknowledgements The Western Australian Government's Royalties for Regions Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) Australia Federal Government's National Earth Science Infrastructure Program (AuScope) GSWA and Geoscience Australia are thanked for significant logistical support for the MT fieldwork The authors gratefully acknowledge pastoralists and Aboriginal communities for allowing us access to the land. We are indebted to the many station owners along this profile that provided accommodation for the field crews and made the survey achievable in October and November.
