Project Total: $63,309; As part of the Mineral Potential Assessments project, part of the Resourcing Australias Prosperity initiative, Geoscience Australia will undertake systematic national mineral potential assessments for all critical minerals and strategic materials. The location of known mineral deposits and occurrences represents a key foundational dataset that underpins regional- to national-scale mineral potential assessments. To ensure these assessments are robust, it is important to ensure that any known deposits and occurrences used as positive labels to train and validate predictive models are consistently and accurately labelled with the relevant mineral system. This project seeks to provide a systematic update of copper deposits in OZMIN dataset, attributing each occurrence with a mineral system from a pre-defined classification scheme. Funded by: Geoscience Australia ($123,309); University of Tasmania.
