Abstract

This report presents a summary of research funded in part by CSIRO’s strategic investment in greenfields mineral exploration along cratonic boundaries in Western Australia.

This research applies a multi-scale approach, which aims to support the prospectivity assessments of small to medium exploration companies during greenfields exploration, by the development of efficient exploration proxies.
It also follows up on the recent Tropicana-Havana Auand the Nova magmatic Ni-Cu discoveries, by building on previous exploration experience in the south-east Yilgarn Craton margin.

This project was jointly undertaken by MRIWA, GSWA and CSIRO.

Chapters presented in this report are summaries of complete studies carried out on the different aspects of this project. Complete independent reports are attached as digital Appendices.
