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.

成功的勘探模式有赖于建立可靠的地质框架，通过该框架了解经济矿床形成的具体过程。如果没有可靠的年龄数据，就无法构建一个框架。该项目将应用先进的地质年代学，结合区域和矿床规模的野外测绘，为西澳大利亚潜在的绿地地区制定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勘探模式，从而更好地确定勘探目标。减少勘探中的不确定性和风险是发现和开发地球深层资源的关键。
