The Windimurra-Narndee Layered Complexes, Western Australia

矿产资源是澳大利亚的主要出口收入来源。如果澳大利亚要继续从当前的矿产繁荣中受益，那么在现有储量被开采殆尽的同时，必须不断发现新的储量。Windimurra-Narndee复合体代表了铂、镍和铁矿石的一个相对较新的勘探目标。在西澳大利亚偏远地区发现一个新的矿田将对地区（和国家）经济非常有益。此外，提高澳大利亚人对大型侵入性系统的理解将进一步提高国际社会对澳大利亚学术界的关注。这项工作的结果将有助于澳大利亚矿业公司更好地探索类似的地形。

Mineral resources are a major export earner for Australia. If Australia is to continue benefiting from the current minerals boom then new reserves must be continuously found as existing reserves are mined out. The Windimurra-Narndee complexes represent a relatively new exploration target for platinum, nickel, and iron ore. Identification of a new mineral field in remote West Australia would be very good for the regional (and national) economy. Furthermore, advancing Australian's understanding of large intrusive systems will further raise international regard for the Australian academic community. The results of this work will help Australian mining companies better explore similar terranes.
