Scheibner of the NSW Department of Minerals and Energy (now NSW Department of Mineral Resources) as part of the Australian ACORP (Australian Continental Reflection Profiling) program (Scheibner, 1985). The seismic traverse suggested by Scheibner over the northern part of the basin (i.e. Uralla to Boggabri via Manilla) was seen by BMR to be the best alternative from a logistic and scientific point of view.
