We aim at enabling mineral resource discoveries by calibrating geophysical surveys using geochemical and petrophysical properties measured on mantle samples brought to the surface by recent volcanoes. National geophysical surveys deliver images of geophysical gradients in the deeper part of the Australian continent. The interpretation of these gradients in geological terms and in terms of economic mineral systems is the key to unlock deep exploration success. This project will turn Australia’s investment in National geophysical surveys into new discoveries of base metals. The benefit stems from enabling the transition to a clean economy which requires a much broader range of critical minerals and a larger quantity of base metals.

我们的目标是通过使用近期火山带到地表的地幔样本上测量的地球化学和岩石物理特性来校准地球物理调查，从而实现矿产资源的发现。国家地球物理调查提供了澳大利亚大陆深处的地球物理梯度图像。从地质角度和经济矿产系统角度解释这些梯度是深部勘探成功的关键。该项目将把澳大利亚对国家地球物理调查的投资转化为贱金属的新发现。其好处在于能够实现向清洁经济的过渡，而清洁经济需要更广泛的关键矿物和更大量的贱金属。
