Unearthing the Marginal Terranes of the South Australian Craton: Keystone of Proterozoic Australia

该项目将调查北方南澳广大地区的埋藏地质，这些地质可能与蕴藏着巨大矿产资源的岩石相容，包括巨大的布罗肯山和奥林匹克大坝矿床。 我们将利用一个岸上科学钻探项目进入这些埋藏的岩石，该项目将为联邦和州政府资助的数百万美元的地球物理数据采集提供地面真相。 研究结果将有助于确定潜在的矿带，并确定其形成过程。

This project will investigate the buried geology of vast regions of northern South Australia that is likely to be compatible with rocks that host enormous mineral wealth including the giant Broken Hill and Olympic Dam deposits. We will access these buried rocks using a program of on-shore scientific drilling that will provide the ground truth for multi-million dollar federal and state government funded geophysical data acquisition. Results will help identify prospective mineral belts and determine the processes responsible for their formation.
