Projects

Exploring for the future: uncovering australia's exploration potential (2021 - 2023)$574,718
Description
The project will be part of Geoscience Australia's project Australia's Resources Framework, which is one of eight projects in their four-year Exploring for the Future program (https://www.ga.gov.au/eftf). The project aims to unlock Australia mineral exploration potential using multiscale and multidisciplinary research on mineral systems. The project will focus on green economy and critical metals such as copper and cobalt found in sedimentary-hosted mineral systems

Mineral Geochemistry Vectoring uncovering North West Queensland's hidden potential (2018 - 2020)$1,168,600
Description
The Paleo- to Mesoproterozoic Mount Isa district, Northwest Queensland, anchors the Northwest Queensland Mineral Province, one of the preeminent mining districts of the world. Many of the mines of the Mount Isa district are approaching end-of-life scenarios, which could have a significant negative socio-economic impact on the region. Finding new resources and re-vitalizing the Northwest Queensland Mineral Province is therefore of paramount importance.
