Successful exploration of the deep Earth for valuable ores requires better knowledge of ore formation conditions, to feed to predictive deposit models. Our work shows great promise of improving the quality of this raw data. Smarter ore deposit prediction would likely exert its influence over the next ten years, rather than be immediate. It will increase exploration efficiency, saving tens of millions of dollars currently devoted to unproductive exploration. Exploration and mining are conducted primarily in regional Australia, and a healthy mining industry is therefore directly benefits hinterland communities. It also benefits all Australians through the payment of royalties and contributions to Australia's GDP from mineral exports.

成功地勘探地球深部有价值的矿石需要更好地了解成矿条件，以提供预测存款模型。我们的工作显示出提高原始数据质量的巨大希望。更智能的矿石存款预测可能会在未来十年内发挥其影响力，而不是立即。它将提高勘探效率，节省目前用于非生产性勘探的数千万美元。勘探和采矿主要在澳大利亚地区进行，因此，健康的采矿业直接造福于内陆社区。它还通过支付特许权使用费和矿物出口对澳大利亚国内生产总值的贡献使所有澳大利亚人受益。
