BRC Workshops
One of the key aims of the SMI is to ensure that its work has an impact on Industry outcomes. This means that Knowledge Transfer through formal and informal avenues is a key component of our programs. At the BRC, we are working as hard as we can to ensure that the outcomes and workflows associated with our research are communicated in a way that maximises Industry takeup and impact.

September 2018 Northwest Mineral Province New Discovery Program Workshop
The New Discovery Program, part of the 4-year Strategic Resources Exploration Program (SREP) of Queensland Government, aims to facilitate discovery of new significant mineral deposits in northwest Queensland.
Since its commencement in July 2017, the Geological Survey of Queensland, in strategic collaborative partnerships with the Sustainable Minerals Institute at The University of Queensland, CSIRO, University of Tasmania and James Cook University, have initiated 14 data acquisition and research projects. This workshop informed industry participants about the progress and plans of the New Discovery Program. It was also an open invitation to provide feedback and contribute to program planning and implementation over the next three years.
The New Discovery Program aims to produce outcomes of direct relevance to exploration in northwest Queensland. Many of its components depend on close collaboration with industry. We welcome your support in developing a collaborative framework for future industry success.
