Characterisation of Queensland mineral deposits

This webinar introduces the topic of systematic characterisation of mineral deposits to unlock their critical mineral potential and create more effective mineral exploration tools. Consistent investigations of mineralogical and geochemical signatures and footprints of multiple known mineral deposits provide valuable objective information on the abundance and modes of occurrence of the critical minerals across the state and help to construct realistic templates of cryptic distal footprints of ore deposits to assist exploration. Several presentations at the webinar will illustrate general workflows and specific case studies of such systematic deposit studies undertaken by the Geological Survey of Queensland, in a close collaboration with multiple research organisations (universities, CSIRO) and industry.
