Successful exploration models rely on the development of a reliable geological framework through which to understand the specific processes responsible for the formation of economic ore deposits. A framework cannot be constructed without robust age data. This Project will apply advanced geochronology, combined with regional- and deposit-scale field mapping, to formulate a new and improved stratigraphic and tectonic framework for a prospective greenfields region in Western Australia. Outcomes from this Project will lead to more effective exploration models and thereby better exploration targeting. Reducing uncertainty and risk in exploration is key to the discovery and development of deep Earth resources.

成功的探索模型依赖于可靠的地质框架的发展，通过该框架来理解负责形成经济矿床的特定过程。如果没有健壮的年龄数据，就无法构建框架。该项目将采用先进的地质学，并结合区域和沉积尺度的现场映射，为西澳大利亚州的潜在格林菲尔德地区建立一个新的和改进的地层和构造框架。该项目的结果将导致更有效的探索模型，从而更好地探索目标。降低探索的不确定性和风险是发现和发展深层资源的关键。
