The Cloncurry Extension Magnetotelluric (MT) Survey is located north of the township of Cloncurry, in the Eastern Succession of the Mount Isa Province. The survey expands MT coverage to the north and west of the 2016 Cloncurry MT survey. The survey was funded out of the Queensland Government’s Strategic Resources Exploration Program, which aims to support discovery of mineral deposits in the Mount Isa Region. The survey area is predominantly covered by conductive sediments of the Carpentaria Basin. The cover thickness ranges from zero metres in the extreme south west of the survey, to over 345 meters in the north. Acquisition started in August 2019 and was completed in October 2020. The acquisition was managed under an collaborative framework agreement between the Geological Survey of Queensland and Geoscience Australia until April 2020, after which the GSQ took over management of the project. Zonge Engineering and Research Organization were responsible for field acquisition. Data were collected at 2 km station spacing on a regular grid with a target bandwidth of 0.0001 – 1000 s. Instruments were left recording for a minimum of 24 hours unless disturbed by animals. The low signal strength posed a significant impediment for acquiring data to 1000 s, even with the 24 hour deployments. Almost all sites have data to 100 s, with longer period data at numerous sites.
