Mapping mineral systems of deep Australia

我们的目标是通过利用最近火山带到地表的地幔样品测量的地球化学性质和岩石物理性质来校准地球物理调查，从而能够发现矿物资源。国家地球物理调查提供了澳大利亚大陆更深部分的地球物理梯度图像。从地质和经济矿产系统的角度对这些梯度进行解释是深部勘探成功的关键。该项目将把澳大利亚在国家地球物理调查方面的投资转化为贱金属的新发现。这种好处来自于能够向清洁经济过渡，而清洁经济需要更广泛的关键矿物和更多的贱金属。

We aim at enabling mineral resource discoveries by calibrating geophysical surveys using geochemical and petrophysical properties measured on mantle samples brought to the surface by recent volcanoes. National geophysical surveys deliver images of geophysical gradients in the deeper part of the Australian continent. The interpretation of these gradients in geological terms and in terms of economic mineral systems is the key to unlock deep exploration success. This project will turn Australia’s investment in National geophysical surveys into new discoveries of base metals. The benefit stems from enabling the transition to a clean economy which requires a much broader range of critical minerals and a larger quantity of base metals.
