"This is normally a very important survey in locating traps in oil & gas exploration. With current massive dataset at hand this survey should immensely aid LEG in understanding structural and/or stratigraphic traps in order to identify targets with possible Ni accumulation. Game on. "in addition to fingerprint what we call bright/flat spots (gas/oil-gas zones), aka signature hydrocarbon spots. direct detection signature of Ni-Cu-Co sulphide accumulations at the Mawson discovery zone, given the shallow nature of mineralisation (<250m below surface)". Given LEG's extensive dataset at hand (especially DD core) and knowing zones with high Ni grades from DD, I imagine they'll be able to analyze seismic response at those depths and fingerprint "Ni bright" spots at those zones (i.e. sound wave reflection signature specific to Ni enriched rocks). Hence analyzing all of their 3D data and using this fingerprinting method, they'll be able to identify traps with bright spots (Ni accumulation) and prioritize those targets for drilling.

'Im speculating now (based on the recent trading that resulted in a speeding ticket), but I reckon they have identified their "bright" spots signature when they incorporated the western zone data set and the Christmas tree lit up - that would have been their Eureka moment. ”@sanchopanza speculated on in a previous post.
