This project aims to reveal the potential for undiscovered economic deposits of rare earth elements within the Australian continent. Future supply of these elements underpins societies transition to clean energy and embrace of high-tech applications. The project expects to greatly enhance our knowledge of Australia’s endowment of rare earth element resources using an array of traditional and innovative geological research methods. Expected outcomes of this project include a greater understanding of how, where and when rare earth element orebodies form in the Earth's crust. This should provide significant benefits to exploring for––and discovering––new orebodies that are required to secure global critical metal supplies.

该项目旨在揭示澳大利亚大陆内未被发现的稀土元素经济矿床的潜力。这些元素的未来供应支撑着社会向清洁能源的过渡和对高科技应用的接受。该项目希望通过一系列传统和创新的地质研究方法，大大提高我们对澳大利亚稀土元素资源禀赋的认识。该项目的预期成果包括对稀土元素矿体在地壳中形成的方式、地点和时间有更深入的了解。这将为勘探和发现确保全球关键金属供应所需的新矿体提供重大好处。
