The Gascoyne Region of Western Australia is an emerging Neodymium-rich rare earth district in its early stages of development. The mineral occurrences of the region are complex and their geological distribution and source(s) remain unclear. With the support of all the active explorers in the region, a better understanding of the entire mineral system is sought to maximise exploration efficiency. This project aims to undertake a full assessment of the minerals, their processing and the environmental impact of production to determine the potential of the region. The expected outcome of the project is to develop a world-class rare earth mineral district in Australia, to ensure future supplies of these strategically important metals.

西澳大利亚的加斯科因地区是一个新兴的富钕稀土区，处于开发的早期阶段。该地区的矿产分布复杂，其地质分布和来源仍不清楚。在该地区所有活跃勘探者的支持下，我们寻求更好地了解整个矿产系统，以最大限度地提高勘探效率。该项目旨在对矿物、矿物加工和生产对环境的影响进行全面评估，以确定该区域的潜力。该项目的预期成果是在澳大利亚开发一个世界级的稀土矿区，以确保这些具有战略重要性的金属的未来供应。
