Exploring for the Future is a four year $100.5 million initiative by the Australian Government conducted in partnership with state and Northern Territory government agencies and universities that aims to boost northern Australia's attractiveness as a destination for investment in resource exploration. The acquisition of deep crustal seismic reflection data in the Kidson Sub-basin (Canning Basin) between the Kiwirrkurra community and Marble Bar in northern Western Australia was a major EFTF deliverable, and was completed in August 2018. This paper presents the preliminary geological interpretation of the sedimentary succession imaged by the Kidson Sub basin seismic line.
