Data accompanying the GA Record Regional geology and mineral systems of the Stavely region, western Victoria. Data release 6 - Pre-drilling geophysics. Prior to stratigraphic drilling, existing airborne magnetic data were analysed and new refraction seismic, reflection seismic and gravity data were acquired as part of a pre-drilling geophysical acquisition program. The aim of this geophysical program was to provide cover thickness estimates at the drill site locations prior to the drilling program commencing, in order to reduce the geological and financial risk. Passive seismic data were acquired post-drilling for benchmarking with the other methods against the completed drilling in order to assess a potential tool kit of geophysical methods for the explorer to predict reliably the cover thickness at the tenement scale. This is the first study where multiple geophysical methods are applied to the same site and where full drill core, downhole wireline logging and hyperspectral (HyLogger) data are freely available.
