Technical presentation at 2015 Broken Hill Resources Investment symposium.
The Tampia Hill gold deposit, is located near the town of Narembeen in the Wheatbelt of Western Australia, 25 km east of Perth. Explaurum held the project from 2014 until the end of 2018 and during this period Kenex provided key services including on-site project management, interpretation of downhole wireline data, building 2D and 3D geological maps, and 3D mineral potential mapping for resource domaining and to help target grade control drilling inside the pit design. Kenex were also involved in the compilation of data over the wider area around Tampia and helping to target exploration using updated geological maps and mineral potential mapping.
Mineral potential mapping as a strategic planning tool in the eastern Lachlan...Kenex Ltd
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.

This presentation explores the benefits of using all available geosciences data to provide the most reliable basis for exploration decision-making and from which to develop the most appropriate and cost-effective exploration programs.
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.
Kenex have been working with Duke Exploration in order to develop exploration targets for base and precious metal mineralisation in Australia. We have been involved throughout all stages of the exploration workflow, details of which are provided below. The Bundarra project represents one of the most successful exploration targeting projects that Kenex has been involved with and promises to be even more exciting in the future!
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.

Mines vs Mineralisation - McCuaig, Vann & Sykes - Aug 2014 - Centre for Explo...John Sykes
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.

The Bengal-Arakan Neogene basin is one of the representative clastic basins formed in the frontal part of the Himalayan orogenic belt since late Cenozoic (Kyi Khin et al., 2014, 2017). The basin occupies the eastern part of Paleo-Bengal basin, the biggest basin of the world in Cenozoic. It is located at the unique tectonic setting; a juncture of the collision zone between the Indian and Asian continents to the north and the subduction zone between the Indian Plate and Myanmar Plate to the east. The purpose of the study is to shed some light on the sedimentation in the distal foreland basin of the Himalaya-Bengal System, related with control on timing and distribution of erosional fluxes derived from the uplifted Himalayas since Early Miocene. Chemical weathering strongly affects the major-element geochemistry and mineralogy of siliciclastic sediments. The predicted weathering trend line intersects the feldspar and shows the proportion of plagioclase and K-feldspar of the fresh rock between granodiorite and granite composition. The presentation will focus on the results of integrated study of sequence stratigraphy on the Miocene sediments and the provenance studies based on the petrography and chemical composition of sandstones and shales in order to interpret the weathering episode and relationship between tectonic denudation of Himalaya orogenic belts and reciprocal sedimentation related with foreland thrusting of Himalaya-Bengal System.

Using gravity to target gold at Tampia Hill, Western AustraliaKenex Ltd
The discovery of the Tampia Hill orogenic gold deposit in the wheatbelt of Western Australia has sparked interest
in this under-explored region of the state. The deposit is hosted within a granulite facies greenstone belt, with
mineralisation mostly hosted in mafic gneiss, which has been intruded by undeformed and unmetamorphosed
granite.
A lack of outcrop in the project area has meant that geophysics has been vital for interpretation of the geology. A
recent gravity and magnetic survey has allowed the most detailed interpretation of the underlying lithology and
structures to date, and has highlighted previously unknown areas of mafic gneiss, with a similar signature to that
at Tampia Hill.
In order to extract the most useful information from the survey, spatial statistical analyses were conducted on the
gravity survey data. The analyses over the project area map features within the gravity data that can be used to
identify areas of known gold mineralisation. The results confirm that the gravity data not only provides critical
geological information, but will also allow the identification of high priority targets for future exploration using
spatial data modelling techniques.

Seismic Reflection Surveys in Search for Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) Depositsiosrjce
Seismic reflection method can delineate very complex geological structures hence it might be very
effective for detecting the presence of Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) deposits. Despite this superior
attributes, there exist a real problem for exploration beyond the immediate vicinity of a known deposit. All
previous studies have focused upon high resolution detection of mineralization and the hosting structures at
mine scale. No argument for “regional” exploration have been proposed probably because a cost benefit
analysis has never be conducted at such scale to proceed with such exploration venture. In this study, we
analyze the feasibility of such regional exploration by modelling a Vulcan IOCGU deposit scenario were a 2D
seismic survey with relatively sparse source-receiver geometry was used to detect the presence of a possible
intrusive package within 2km depth range. The modelling results demonstrates that seismic reflection method
using 10m geophones and 20m shot spacing can be used to image deposit within the depth of 2km. The
presence of reflections was visibly observed especially at the edges of intrusive packages hence it is suggested
that application of seismic reflection methods perhaps will remains the best alternative and most viable method
for exploring deep seated IOCG

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.

and/or Cenozoic cover units are extensive, presenting the region as though
cover has been removed. The interpretation maps include several tectonic
provinces – the northern extension of the Curnamona Craton in the Tindara
Zone and the Bancannia Trough of the Darling Basin and the Koonenberry
Belt and Thomson Orogen. Care has been taken to ensure the true amount of
outcrop and the depth of cover is evident to map users.
