UltraFine+ Next Gen Analytics. Northern Territory Geological Survey - MacDonnell Ranges

Abstract

The Northern Territory Geological Survey's MacDonnell Ranges project is part of the UltraFine+ Next Gen Analytics research project conducted by the CSIRO in collaboration with LabWest and over 20 industry sponsors and geological surveys. The aim of this research project is to facilitate a paradigm shift for precious, base and critical metals exploration in Australia by combining the UltraFine+ soil analysis method with intelligent data integration tools, adding value to routine soil sampling in frontline exploration and shaping mineral exploration approaches for decades. The MacDonnell Ranges project site was chosen as a first-generation, large-scale trial site with a focus on principal functionality of the UltraFine+ Next Gen Analytics workflow.
