Digital soil mapping of lithium in Australia
With a higher demand for lithium (Li), a better understanding of its concentration and spatial distribution is important to delineate potential anomalous areas. This study uses... -
The value of historical samples for regional and national geochemical and...
Geochemical and mineralogical analysis of surficial materials (streams, soils, catchment samples, etc) can provide valuable information about the potential for mineral systems,... -
A geochemical characterisation of the Loch Lilly-Kars Belt in the Delamerian Orogen
The Darling-Curnamona-Delamerian (DCD) project focused on the covered portion of the Delamerian orogen, situated in the south-eastern mainland states of Australia. The aims... -
The Levelled Geochemical Baseline of Australia
National- and regional-scale surface geochemistry data can provide valuable information about mineral prospectivity and geology of a country or region, and allow for informed... -
Mapping the Structure and Metasomatic Enrichment of the Lithospheric Mantle...
The lithology, geochemistry, and architecture of the continental lithospheric mantle (CLM) underlying the Kimberley Craton of north-western Australia has been constrained using... -
Rock geochemistry from the Curnamona Province and Delamerian Orogen
This report contains new whole-rock and isotope geochemical data, associated sample metadata, an assessment of the data’s quality assurance, for 742 samples collected in and... -
Estimating the silica content and loss-on-ignition in the North American...
A novel method of estimating the silica (SiO2) and loss-on-ignition (LOI) concentrations for the North American Soil Geochemical Landscapes (NASGL) project datasets is proposed.... -
