PROJECT SUMMARY:
The AMIRA Roadmap for Exploration Under Cover initiative offers Australia’s mineral exploration industry, government geological survey organisations, and the research community, a strategic opportunity of being directly involved in the design of a longer-term integrated research and accelerated data compilation and acquisition programme through an unprecedented national scale collaborative effort. The overall aim is to improve the performance and success rate of mineral exploration in areas of Australia concealed under post mineralisation cover. Stage 1 of AMIRA International’s Roadmap for Exploration Under Cover delivered a consensus view from key stakeholders on what needs to be done if undiscovered mineral wealth in areas of cover is to be found in Australia. Priority areas were defined that will require a well designed and executed plan in order to deliver on the vision. Stage 1 commenced in late 2014, and was released in July 2015 (Unlocking Australia’s hidden potential: An Industry Roadmap – Stage 1). Stage 2 of the Exploration Under Cover Roadmap will complete the work commenced in Stage 1. The principal aim of Stage 2 is to develop a comprehensive implementation plan.
HIGHLIGHTS / DELIVERABLES / VALUE ADDITIONS:
The guiding vision that was developed in Stage 1 and will continue to be our beacon is: Delivering Australia’s major new mines by locating and unlocking future mineral wealth, positioning Australia as the global leader in exploration beneath post-mineral cover rocks.
