Extreme crustal fractionation in a Proterozoic chemical hotspot
The distribution of mineral systems is heterogeneous over space and time, reflecting transient element enrichment within Earth’s evolving crust. Australian Proterozoic rocks... -
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... -
National mineral potential for sediment-hosted zinc-lead mineral systems in...
Australian sediment-hosted mineral systems are important sources of base metals and critical minerals that are vital to delivering Australia’s low-carbon economy. In Australia,... -
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... -

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-... -
An overview and outlook of granite-related tin and tungsten mineral systems
Tin and tungsten have good potentials for increased demand applications particularly in the electrical and energy storage areas. Similar to other critical metals like Li and Co,... -
AusArray: Imaging the lithospheric mantle using body-wave tomography
Mineral deposits are the products of lithospheric-scale processes. Imaging the structure and composition of the lithosphere is therefore essential to better understand these... -
Minerals on the edge: Sediment-hosted base metal endowment above steps in...
To meet the rising global demand for base metals – driven primarily by the transition to cleaner-energy sources – declining rates of discovery of new deposits need to be... -
