The proposal is to undertake a 3D seismic acquisition survey across a 10,600 hectare area within exploration permit area EP413.

The proposal comprises the following elements:

• Preparation of north-south and east-west vehicle access lanes by cutting vegetation above ground level and mulching greenstock with immediate replacement of mulch in-situ (also known as “raised blade roller mulching”).
• Laying source and receiver lines along lanes and insertion of geophones to a depth of 0.1 metres.
• Undertaking seismic analysis (generation of acoustic signal) using vibroseis trucks.
• Demobilising, rehabilitating and closing vehicular access to seismic lines, monitoring and, as required, remedial rehabilitation works.
