Project Summary

Gold and base metal mining are some of Australia's principal export earners. Thus, improving the country's mining and geological exploration capabilities will be a considerable economic benefit to the whole community. The results of the project will yield information concerning how gold deposits form, improved techniques for gold exploration, and more environmentally friendly techniques for the processing of gold telluride ores.
