Data integration for greenfields exploration: uncovering new exploration frontiers in northern Australia

Finding new mineral deposits has never been an easy job. Increasing demand for a range of commodities, and depletion of existing deposits through mining, means that new frontiers need to be opened up for mineral exploration. These will largely be in regions where prospective basement rocks are concealed under cover. However, identification of these new frontiers is not a simple task, and exploration is challenging in areas where little is known about the geological context. This talk will outline how new datasets give us fresh eyes with which to view the mineral prospectivity of covered parts of Australia, and how integration of these data at a range of scales provides the framework in which to explore and discover new mineral provinces.
