Abstract:
This study uses shallow passive seismic HVSR (horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio) technique to determine the depth and extent of a Cenozoic paleochannel composed dominantly of sand and clay incised into the Proterozoic granitic basement of the Capricorn Orogen. The paleochannel contains sand-dominated intervals that host water that is presently being explored by Hastings Metals. There is some drilling data available but only a few drill cores intersect the basement. Improved understanding of the paleochannel geometry will assist with water exploration.
