Global distribution of sediment-hosted metals controlled by craton edge stability
Sustainable development and transition to a clean-energy economy is placing ever-increasing demand on global supplies of base metals (copper, lead, zinc and nickel). Alarmingly,... -
A review of high purity quartz for silicon production in Australia
High purity quartz (HPQ) is the only naturally occurring and economically viable source for the production of silicon. Silicon is a critical mineral, and a key component in... -
A spectroscopic study of the stability of uranyl-carbonate complexes at...
The stabilities of uranyl-carbonate and uranyl-hydroxide aqueous complexes were experimentally determined at temperatures ranging from 25 to 125 °C using in situ UV–vis and... -
Large-scale crustal architecture as a first-order control on mineral systems
Lithospheric and crustal architecture — the framework of major tectonic blocks, terranes and their boundaries — represents a fundamental first-order control on major geological... -
High Purity Quartz in Australia for Silicon Production
High-purity quartz (HPQ) is the only naturally occurring and economically viable source for the production of silicon. Silicon is a critical mineral, and a key component in... -
Unveiling hidden treasures—Exploring new geological insights into the...
In outback Australia, beneath a blanket of red earth, lies an ancient part of the continent that formed over 500 million years ago. The Delamerian Orogen. Through a multi-... -
Applications of natural language processing to geoscience text data and...
Geological maps are powerful models for visualizing the complex distribution of rock types through space and time. However, the descriptive information that forms the basis for... -
Mapping iron oxide Cu-Au (IOCG) mineral potential in Australia using a...
Iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposits are consequences of lithospheric- to deposit-scale earth processes, and form where there was a coincidence of ore-forming processes in... -
Exploring for the Future program Showcase 2024 - Day 4 Regional Deep Dives theme
The Exploring for the Future program Showcase 2024 was held on 13-16 August 2024. Day 4 - 16th August talks included: Session 1 – Deep Dives into the Delamerian Scaffold to... -
How magnetotellurics data from multiscale surveys can help to image the...
The footprint of a mineral system is potentially detectable at a range of scales and lithospheric depths, reflecting the size and distribution of its components.... -
Light Stable Isotopes in Volcanic-Hosted Massive Sulfide Ore Systems
Volcanic-hosted massive sulfide (VHMS) deposits, the ancient analogues of “black smoker” deposits that currently form on the seafloor, are the products of complex mineral... -
Groundwater geochemistry, hydrogeology and potash mineral potential of the...
We collected 38 groundwater and two surface water samples in the semi-arid Lake Woods region of the Northern Territory to better understand the hydrogeochemistry of this system,... -
A national-scale mineral potential assessment for carbonatite-related rare...
The production of rare earth elements is critical for the transition to a low carbon economy. Carbonatites (>50% carbonate minerals) are one of the most significant sources...
