Understanding the Thomson Orogen, a geological region which straddles the New South Wales and Queensland border, is critical for developing geodynamic models for the evolution of eastern Australia, and assessing resource potential. However, it lies under the Great Artesian Basin. This project focusses on ground truthing geophysical acquisition studies using drill core from a targeted drilling program, designed to maximise the available tectono-stratigraphic information. The outcome intends to be a 3D geological map of the region, which can be interrogated for mineral exploration targeting, and from which 4D evolutionary geodynamic models of eastern Australian can be integrated.

汤姆森造山带是横跨新南威尔士州和昆士兰州边界的一个地质区域，了解它对于开发澳大利亚东部演化的地球动力学模型和评估资源潜力至关重要。然而，它位于大自流盆地之下。该项目侧重于使用目标钻探计划的钻芯进行地面真实地球物理采集研究，旨在最大限度地获得可用的构造地层信息。结果是该地区的三维地质图，可以为矿产勘探目标进行询问，并从中整合澳大利亚东部的四维演化地球动力学模型。
