This Project aims to investigate the link between supercontinents, mantle upwelling, and associated mineral resources by combining reconstructions of mantle flow with the global rock record. Mantle upwelling causes eruptions of volcanic provinces and associated rock formations that are rich in minerals. The expected outcomes of the Project include mapping the global potential for magmatic nickel, rare-earth elements, and diamond deposits from 1.8 billion years ago and building a research alliance between the University of Wollongong, Anglo American, and De Beers. Significant benefits will be the development of a digital framework to reduce risks in exploration for minerals that are essential for the transition to a low-carbon economy.

该项目旨在通过将地幔流的重建与全球摇滚记录相结合，调查超强，地幔上升流和相关矿产资源之间的联系。地幔上升流造成火山省的喷发和富含矿物质的相关岩层。该项目的预期结果包括绘制岩浆镍的全球潜力，稀土元素以及18亿年前的钻石矿床，以及在沃隆隆根大学，盎格鲁美国和德·贝尔斯之间建立研究联盟。巨大的好处将是发展数字框架，以减少矿物质勘探风险，这对于向低碳经济过渡至关重要。
