Intimate relationships between kimberlites and diamonds, and between flood basalts and sulphide mineralisation make the study of deep mantle-derived magmas important to the scientific and exploration communities. The proposed research therefore represents a logical scientific step forward and is hence timely and important in this internationally competitive field, and serve as a training base for young researchers keen to learn the techniques and methodologies involved. The possible outcomes of the project are of wide interest to geoscientists, and may benefit the Australian economy in that they help to predict whether the continental magmas and respective rocks have formed in parts of deep mantle with mineralisation potential.

金伯利岩和钻石之间的密切关系，以及溢流玄武岩和硫化物矿化之间的密切关系，使得深源地幔岩浆的研究对科学和勘探界非常重要。因此，拟议的研究是一个合乎逻辑的科学进步，因此在这个国际竞争激烈的领域是及时和重要的，并作为一个培训基地，年轻的研究人员热衷于学习所涉及的技术和方法。该项目的可能成果引起了地球科学家的广泛兴趣，并可能有利于澳大利亚的经济，因为它们有助于预测大陆岩浆和相应的岩石是否已在具有矿化潜力的深部地幔部分形成。
