Fingerprinting critical minerals development in continental margins

This project will study how critical minerals develop in the Andean-type plate margins through case studies in eastern Australia. The expected outcomes are results that characterise signature minerals in a polymetallic minerals province in Far North Queensland. This may result in supplying new data-driven mineralisation models for key exploration regions.
