Funded Activity Summary

Accessory REE-phosphates as tracers of heat and fluids in time and space. This project will provide fundamental information vital for the widespread application of a new and developing technique for dating rocks and ore bodies that formed at geologically low temperatures. The technique will benefit the Australian mining industry by improving models for the formation of ore deposits, thereby reducing the financial risk involved in discovering new resources. Results will highlight the value of another Australian invention - the SHRIMP - in resolving both fundamental and applied geological problems, encouraging the uptake of this technology overseas. Outcomes from this project will enhance Australia's scientific reputation as a world leader in geochronology and economic geology.
