- W2010703086 abstract "Australia produces over 90% of the world's precious opal from highly weathered Cretaceous sedimentary rocks within the Great Artesian Basin. Since opal was first discovered around 1870 until the present day, opal mining has been carried out by private operators working a claim no larger than 50 × 50 m, usually in the direct vicinity of areas that have yielded precious opal in the past. Currently there is no formal exploration model for opal and its formation in the geological environment is poorly understood. Here we make the first systematic attempt to formulate a predictive model for opal exploration using a powerful data mining approach, which considers almost the entire Great Artesian Basin as a potential reservoir for precious opal. Our methodology uses all known locations where opal has been mined to date. Its formation and preservation in weathered Cretaceous host rocks is evaluated by a joint analysis of large digital data sets that include topography, regional geology, regolith and soil type, radiometric data and depositional environments through time. By combining these data sets as layers enabling spatio-temporal data mining using the GPlates PaleoGIS software, we produce the first opal prospectivity map for the Great Artesian Basin. Our approach reduces the entire area of the Great Artesian Basin to a mere 6% that is deemed to be prospective for opal exploration. It successfully identifies two known major opal fields (Mintabie and Lambina) that were not included as part of the classification dataset owing to lack of documentation regarding opal mine locations, and it significantly expands the prospective areas around known opal fields particularly in the vicinity of Coober Pedy in South Australia and in the northern and southern sectors of the Eromanga Basin in Queensland. The combined characteristics of these areas also provide a basis for future work aimed at improving our understanding of opal formation." @default.
