The South Nicholson National Drilling Initiative (NDI) Carrara 1 stratigraphic drill hole was completed in late 2020, as a collaboration between Geoscience Australia, the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS), and the MinEx CRC. The drilling aimed to gather new subsurface data on the potential mineral and energy resources in the newly identified Carrara Sub-basin. NDI Carrara 1 is located in the eastern Northern Territory, on the western flanks of the Carrara Sub-basin on the South Nicholson Seismic line, reaching a total depth of 1751 m, intersecting ca. 630 m of Cambrian Georgina Basin overlying ca. 1100 m of Proterozoic carbonates, black shales and minor siliciclastics (https://portal.ga.gov.au/bhcr/minerals/648482).   Following a public data release of the borehole completion report, CSIRO was contracted by Geoscience Australia (GA) under the Exploring for the Future program to analyse samples from NDI Carrara 1 for quantitative bulk and clay fraction analysis. This report presents results for quantitative bulk and clay (<2 µm) fraction analysis by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) on 32 bulk core samples from the NDI Carrara 1. Samples were prepared and analysed at the CSIRO’s Waite Laboratories in South Australia.
