Strategies designed to underpin the long-term sustainability of the Territory’s resources sector
The $9.5 million annual ongoing Resourcing the Territory program is largest program ever funded by the Northern Territory Government to support resources exploration in the Territory.
Resourcing the Territory aims to provides pre-competitive geoscience, investment attraction and exploration stimulus programs designed to increase exploration activity, drive success rates, and open up new areas of the Territory for exploration. It aims to make the Territory a preferred destination for exploration investment and supports local businesses and communities that rely on the exploration and mining sector.
Resourcing the Territory program themes:
Providing competitive grants to stimulate exploration success
Underpinning exploration success through enhanced geophysics
Accelerating resource development in known mineral provinces
Attracting and supporting resource exploration in frontier areas
Applying geoscience to support a low emissions future
Modernising geoscience data to support a digitally enabled industry
Promoting the Territory’s prospectivity and investment potential.

The program is being undertaken by the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS). It includes a focus on partnerships and collaborations with industry, researchers and other Government geoscience agencies to support industry innovation and deliver integrated and contemporary geoscience data and interpretations that are designed to open up new areas for exploration and underpin private sector exploration success.
