The Geological Survey of New South Wales (GSNSW) is undertaking a statewide mineral potential mapping project driven by the need to provide justifiable land use planning advice to key government stakeholders and to highlight the exploration potential of the state’s major mineral systems at a regional scale. Following delivery of mineral potential data packages for the Southern New England Orogen in 2017, and the Curnamona Province and Delamerian Thomson Orogen in 2018, the eastern Lachlan Orogen was selected as the next area for a review of key mineral systems and mineral potential. The study area covers the Lachlan Orogen east of the Gilmore Fault and the study mapped the mineral potential for porphyry Cu–Au, polymetallic skarn, Kanimblan orogenic Au, Tabberabberan orogenic Au, and VAMS mineral systems.

Resources added to the global metal inventory through exploration over the past 15 years have been generally of poor quality (declining grades, recoveries and lack of acceptable financial return). Similarly, companies opting for an acquisitions-based strategy have had to pick from a group of poorer quality resources left from previous exploration booms, and will struggle to deliver this metal to market economically. Increasing difficulty in obtaining sufficient social and community acceptance of mining projects and potentially an energy-constrained future may exacerbate this problem, redefining what is considered ‘ore’. There will need to be more focus on deposit quality,
defined as sustainable margin in the future business environment.

Mineral potential mapping in Bundarra, QueenslandKenex Ltd
The Bundarra porphyry Cu-Au project is held by Duke Exploration Ltd, and is located in central Queensland, Australia, 110 km south-west of Mackay. The project was acquired in 2017. Kenex has completed, for Duke, detailed mineral potential mapping over the project area, in order to focus drilling funds on the most prospective areas.
The project area surrounds the Cretaceous Bundarra Granodiorite, which intrudes the Permian Back Creek Group carbonaceous shales, sandstones and marls. Numerous Cu-Au occurrences are present within or near the hornfelsed contact aureole of the granodiorite. The project has been subject to significant exploration work, including mining of high-grade ore shoots in the late 1800s to early 1900s, however, modern exploration has been sporadic, and without comprehensive follow-up of encouraging results.
All available historic data has been compiled and incorporated into a mineral potential map based on the porphyry mineral system. Maps representing all components of the porphyry mineral system including source, transport, trap and deposition have been created, resulting in binary maps which show where each characteristic is present or absent. These are then compared to known mineral occurrences, or training points. The weights of evidence technique was used for the modelling. This technique calculates the relationship of the area covered by the characteristic being tested and the number of training data points that fall within that area. For each map a contrast value ‘C’ gives a relative measure of the strength of the correlation, and a Studentised contrast value ‘StudC’ gives a relative measure of the reliability of the C value, i.e. a high C and StudC value implies a strong spatial correlation and a reliable result, which occurs when more training points are captured within a smaller area.
The maps with the best spatial correlation to the training points for each mineral system component were selected for the final mineral potential model. Table 1 shows the eight spatial variables which were selected from a total of 60 mapped.
After emerging from the resources wilderness thanks to its world-class geology and industry-friendly government policies, South Australia is now a leader in Australian mining and hydrocarbon developments over the last decade.
In little more than a decade the State has gone from four operating mines to more than 20 and is rated Australia’s second most popular exploration destination.
With a comprehensive review of the Mining Act under way, the State’s attractiveness as a place for resources and energy investment is expected to be strengthened.
South Australia is now a leader in the exploration for next generation energy sources with companies such as Santos and BP leading the charge, while initiatives such as the Government’s Copper Strategy – designed to treble annual copper production to 1 mtpa – is set to establish the State as one of the world’s premier producers of the red metal.
In the energy space, uranium and nuclear energy is another area of keen interest, with the South Australian Government initiating a Royal Commission into Participation in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle in 2016.
The State has become synonymous with innovation, cutting-edge development and a remarkable rate of discovery. From uranium prospects, to geothermal energy and the buoyant hydrocarbons sector, South Australia is now a leader in the exploration for next generation energy sources.
With full support from the Department of State Development, the South Australian Resources and Energy Investment Conference will continue to showcase this burgeoning sector in 2017. From copper plays in the Gawler Craton, to iron ore and graphite developments on the Eyre Peninsula and the emergence of the State as a new hydrocarbon frontier, South Australia’s resources potential is at last being fully recognised.
The conference will feature the success stories and emerging players in the State from both minerals and oil and gas and will also tackle thorny industry issues such as infrastructure, corporate social responsibility and the future of the Woomera Prohibited Area.
The Final Seminar of the Project for Assessment of Earthquake Disaster Risk for the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal was held on 14 February 2018.
The public seminar was held three times during the project.

The palaeomagnetism of glauconitic sedimentsJohn Smith
The palaeoenvironmental significance of glaucony has long been appreciated, but accurate palaeomagnetic dating of events recorded by glauconitic horizons requires an understanding of how glauconitic sediments acquire a remanent magnetization. Pure glauconitic minerals are paramagnetic, but glauconite grains are large and slow-forming (over periods that can exceed 100 kyr), with complex and variable morphologies. It is, thus, possible that small magnetic grains within glaucony particles may carry a significant fraction of the remanence in weakly magnetized sediments. Any remanence carried by glauconitic grains may therefore represent the geomagnetic field at a time significantly later than the time of deposition, or a time-averaged signal over some or all of the formation period. We investigated this problem using weakly magnetic Palaeocene glauconitic siltstones from southern New Zealand. We disaggregated the rock and separated it magnetically into glauconitic and non-glauconitic fractions. Results from stepwise isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM) acquisition, alternating-field demagnetization, temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility, and stepwise thermal demagnetization of a triaxial IRM were used to demonstrate that the remanent magnetization is carried by single-domain or pseudo-single-domain magnetite in the non-glauconitic sediment fraction, and that the glauconite grains themselves make no contribution to the remanent magnetization. However, accurate measurement of the primary remanence is complicated by a strong viscous overprint and mineral alteration during thermal demagnetization studies. Identification of magnetite as the remanence carrier in sediments within a reducing diagenetic environment gives confidence that the remanence has a depositional origin. Glauconite does not carry a remanence; therefore, its effect is to dilute and weaken the overall magnetization. Furthermore, the use of rock magnetic parameters may be problematic when glauconite concentrations are (as in the studied sediments) orders of magnitude greater than remanence carrier concentrations, because in such cases the glauconite susceptibility can dominate that of the remanence carriers.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

• SHRIMP data were collected between 1998 and 2006, using many
different versions and generations of software
• Rod used earlier software (PRAWN) written by RSES, which allowed
user bias to creep in to the data processing
• In the late 1990’s Ken Ludwig (Berkeley) developed a ‘black box’
processing package that removed this user bias by identifying outliers
on a statistical basis, called SQUID.
• In order to compare all data on a level playing field, all the analyses
havebeen reprocessed with the same software package: SQUID 1.
7. • Rod Page used the standard QGNG to monitor the 207Pb/206Pb ratio:
for each session, he compared the measured SHRIMP age of QGNG
to its TIMS-determined age of 1851.6 ± 0.6 Ma
• Measured ages for QGNG ranged from 1844 to 1856 Ma
• Rod Page normalised some of the sample data to the correct
reference age, but not all
• A correction has now been applied to all samples, which normalises the
ages to the TIMS reference age of QGNG, so these session differences
are eliminated. This is called an IMF correction (instrumental mass
fractionation (Stern et al. 2007)

• Ages on felsic volcanics range between 1712 and 1721 Ma.
• Analysis of Variance test (or ANOVA) compares all pairs of dates for the
Curnamona Group
• It indicates a significant difference in age between only a few of the dates
obtained for volcanics in the Peryhumuck Formation and the George Mine
Formation; these are coloured yellow in the table.

17. Conclusion
Whereas SHRIMP dating could
delineate broad stratigraphic
variations at the Group level,
stratigraphic differences of
< 10 m.y. can not be resolved.
18. Curnamona: where next?
• Future research: key volcanic horizons will be selected for dating by
Thermal Ionisation Mass Spectroscopy (TIMS), which has a resolution
of < 1 m.y.
• Hf isotopes on metasedimentary rocks of the Willyama Supergroup

TIMS dating
• We have a collaborative research partnership with the University of Idaho to
provide TIMS dating for the GSSA. Successful projects so far:
1. Early Cambrian stratigraphy, tectonics, biostratigraphy and Timescale study
2. GRV/Hiltaba Suite
