The Geophysics and Drilling Collaborations program co-funds industry exploration programs to advance geological understanding and resource development in the Territory. The outcomes of the program are expected to improve geological knowledge and mineralisation targeting within a region, particularly at depth.
Overview
The Geophysics and Drilling Collaborations (GDC) program is a competitive grants program funded by the NT Government’s $9.5 million per annum Resourcing the Territory program and is administered by the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS).
The program will allocate up to $4 million from the $9.5 million Resourcing the Territory program to share between eligible selected programs to co-fund projects that address geoscientific knowledge gaps, advance exploration activity, and support the discovery and development of resources in the Territory.
