Mineral resources are a major export earner for Australia. If Australia is to continue benefiting from the current minerals boom then new reserves must be continuously found as existing reserves are mined out. The Windimurra-Narndee complexes represent a relatively new exploration target for platinum, nickel, and iron ore. Identification of a new mineral field in remote West Australia would be very good for the regional (and national) economy. Furthermore, advancing Australian's understanding of large intrusive systems will further raise international regard for the Australian academic community. The results of this work will help Australian mining companies better explore similar terranes.

矿产资源是澳大利亚的主要出口收入来源。如果澳大利亚要继续从目前的矿产繁荣中受益，那么随着现有储量的开采，必须不断发现新的储量。Windimurra-Narndee复合体是铂、镍和铁矿石的一个相对较新的勘探目标。在偏远的西澳大利亚州确定一个新的矿场将对区域（和国家）经济非常有利。此外，推进澳大利亚对大型侵入系统的理解将进一步提高澳大利亚学术界的国际声誉。这项工作的成果将有助于澳大利亚矿业公司更好地探索类似的矿藏。
