Cloncurry database a fresh take on rock properties
The CSIRO in partnership with industry is using new techniques to build 3D maps of orebodies as well as deep mineral systems in the Cloncurry region.
They are working on an integrated, scale-consistent, quantitative database of rock properties in a three-year collaboration.
The database will record results from the analysis of thousands of one-inch rock cylinders that CSIRO senior research scientist Jim Austin and his team are taking from the Cloncurry region, CSIRO's Resourceful magazine reports.
It will include information about the rocks' magnetic, radiometric and spectral properties, structural fabrics, densities, conductivity, mineralogy and. . .
