Biosphere, hydrocarbon and ore fluid interactions in the Early Precambrian

矿藏和石油是澳大利亚经济和社会发展的重要领域。随着矿山即将停产和石油供应减少，需要新的发现来维持澳大利亚的财富。该项目将演示成矿流体和碳氢化合物如何在地质环境中相互作用。因此，它应极大地扩大勘探矿物和碳氢化合物资源的概念框架，特别是在被认为是最后勘探前沿的老盆地、深盆地和热盆地。有关早期生命性质的结果将是全球关注的问题。

Ore deposits and petroleum are important for economic and social areas of Australia's growth. New discoveries are needed to maintain Australia's wealth as mines reach the end of operations and petroleum supplies decrease. This project will demonstrate how ore fluids and hydrocarbons interact in the geological environment. It should, therefore greatly expand the conceptual framework in which to explore for both mineral and hydrocarbon resources, particularly in old, deep and hot basins, which are considered to be the last frontiers of exploration. Outcomes concerning the nature of early life will be of global interest.
