Shallow Geophysical and Hyrogeological Studies to Characterise Palaeochannel Properties, A Case Study From Tanami Desert, NT
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Palaeochannels are typical geomorphic features representing drainage streams or rivers, which were flowing either during the past time and now stand buried or shifted due to tectonic or geomorphological processes. They often contain considerable thicknesses of sediment with elements which have been dated from the Mesozoic through to the late Cainozoic. These sediments are known to host, or act as pathfinders, to economic mineralization, and are an important source of potable groundwater, particularly in remote areas. Located about 600km northwest of Alice Springs, the Tanami region of the Northern Territory is an emerging gold province in Australia. Although not genetically related, some of the gold deposits are located on the margins of palaeochannels. Outcrop in these areas is sparse and bedrock is generally covered by in situ and transported regolith materials, that at places may reach more than 300m. Interest from industry and extensive drilling activity in the region has provided us with a natural laboratory to apply a multi-disciplinary approach for studying regolith properties and processes. As part of the research activities of Co-operative Research Centre for Landscape Environments and Mineral Exploration (CRC-LEME), we have carried out ground transient electromagnetic (TEM) and down-hole EM measurements as well as hydrogeochemical sampling of the open drill holes at the Titania mineral prospect. Apart from identifying possible locations of mineralisation, these studies have clearly delineated the structure of the palaeochannel, the character of the fill and the properties of the groundwater. A detailed discussion on the results will be presented.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
