The project aims to develop new innovative image analysis techniques to reconstruct the architecture of the volcanic host at four highly prospective hydrothermal-magmatic ore deposits, and investigate the properties of rocks that favour high-grade ore mineralisation. Expected outcomes of this project include next-generation automated techniques for volcanic facies analysis, and predictions of where hydrothermal alteration is most prospective for mineralisation. Both outcomes are relevant to the discovery of volcanic-hosted mineralisation globally. This project will provide significant benefit to the Australian mining industry by diversifying ore exploration strategies in the Australian crust, and will train the next generation of explorers.

该项目旨在开发新的创新图像分析技术，以重建四个极具前景的热液岩浆矿床的火山宿主结构，并调查有利于高品位矿石矿化的岩石特性。该项目的预期成果包括用于火山相分析的下一代自动化技术，以及对热液蚀变最具矿化前景的预测。这两个结果都与全球火山矿化的发现有关。该项目将通过使澳大利亚地壳的矿石勘探战略多样化，为澳大利亚采矿业带来重大利益，并将培训下一代勘探人员。
