Exploration grants open for applications soon
The Geophysics and Drilling Collaborations program round 15 has been expanded to co-fund more exploration activities. Applications will open through GrantsNT on Monday 21 February 2022.
Less than 8 weeks till AGES 2022
The AGES 2022 program will be released soon and packed with new geoscience and exploration from across the Territory. Check out the organisations confirmed to present in this year's program.
New model for copper and tungsten mineralisation in the northeastern Aileron Province
A new NTGS Record has been released proposing a new genetic model for Palaeoproterozic copper and tungsten mineralisation in the northeastern Aileron Province across the Huckitta 1:250 000 mapsheet, central Australia.
Registrations for AGES 2022 are now open
The Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) is excited to announce that registrations for the Annual Geoscience Exploration Seminar (AGES) event for 2022 are now open.
Geophysics and Drilling Collaborations program guidelines released
The expanded exploration grants program for Round 15 (2022-23) features increases in both the total pool of funding and the maximum funding available per project, and a broader scope of exploration activities that are eligible for co-funding.
AGES 2022 program highlights announced
The Territory’s largest exploration event will be held on 5 - 6 April, with the ice breaker planned for the evening of Monday 4 April.
More exploration success from brownfields co-funded drilling program
Thor Mining PLC announced the second drill hole from their Geophysics and Drilling Collaborations co-funded program has intersected a significant interval of mineralisation within a magnetite skarn at the Molyhil tungsten-molybdenum-copper project in eastern Aileron Province, Central Australia.
First release of inorganic geochemistry data from NDI Carrara 1
Geoscience Australia continues its release of data from the 1,750 metre deep stratigraphic drill hole in the South Nicholson region. NDI Carrara 1 was completed as part of the MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative (NDI) in collaboration with Geoscience Australia and NTGS.
XRD data released from shales across the greater McArthur Basin
A new NTGS Record has been released containing X-ray diffraction data from 468 shales across the prospective greater McArthur Basin. The data identifies the bulk and clay mineralogy of the shales, which can be used to understand their heterogeneity, brittleness, and thermal maturity.
Mineral Development Taskforce established for the Territory
The Territory Government have announced that a Mineral Development Taskforce has been formed to accelerate mining development in the Territory through private investment.
