Curnamona Geochemistry Geochemistry Compilation of the Curnamona Region

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

A poster presenting the new comprehensive compilation of geochemical data from a range of sample media has been undertaken across the highly prospective, but largely buried, Curnamona Province and cover sequences. The data has sourced from Geoscience Australia and State Geological Survey databases, company reports and academic studies. Each dataset has been run through rigorous quality control processes to correct or remove major data problems, remove duplicates, and standardise the data structures. This will be the go-to source for geochemical data in the Curnamona, enabling quick access to usable geochemical data, which is valuable to quickly feed into geochemical exploration and mineral modelling activities. Concurrently, the compilation is supporting Geoscience Australia’s ongoing research in the next two years into characterising geochemical baselines to enable more sensitive anomaly detection. This presentation was given to the 2022 Uncover Curnamona 2022 Conference 31 May - 2 June:(https://www.gsa.org.au/common/Uploaded%20files/Events/Uncover%20Curnamona%202021/UC2022_short_program_A4_web%20(003).pdf)
