The proposed development route for new 275 kV NEM power lines connecting the geothermal projects of the Cooper Basin and the Paralana area to BHP Billiton Limited’s Olympic Dam mine pass through the tenement area.
The Leigh Creek project is located within the South Australian heat flow anomaly. The region contains a cluster of inferred geothermal resources, recently announced by other companies that total almost 1.5 million petajoules.
The heat flow and modelled temperature to 5 kilometers depth in the adjoining Paralana project increases to the north, suggesting the potential for high heat flow and geothermal temperatures within the Leigh Creek project.
