Constraining conditions and timing of orogeny and reworking in the west Musgrave Province

偏远的马斯格雷夫省是澳大利亚最具矿产勘探兴趣的地区之一，约有30家公司在该地区拥有超过120份租约。决定地体经济前景的一个主要因素是能否获得高质量的地球科学数据。该项目将为西部马斯格雷夫省提供竞争前的结构、岩石学、同位素、地球化学和地球物理数据集，这些数据集将与澳大利亚地壳其他地区的数据集相媲美或超过。该项目直接符合国家研究优先目标，即开发深部地球资源，并将降低矿产勘探者的风险，促进西澳大利亚州Ngaanyatjarra原住民土地的经济发展。

The remote Musgrave Province is one of Australia's prime areas of mineral exploration interest, with about 30 companies holding more than 120 leases over the region. A major factor determining the economic prospectivity of a terrane is the availability of high quality geoscientific data. This project will produce pre-competitive structural, petrological, isotopic, geochemical and geophysical datasets for the west Musgrave Province that will rival or surpass that available for other regions of Australian crust. This project directly aligns with the National Research Priority goal, developing deep Earth resources, and will reduce the risk to mineral explorers and facilitate economic development within the Ngaanyatjarra Native Title Lands of Western Australia.
