Protecting Sacred Sites within the Northern Territory.
AGES is an Annual Geoscience Exploration Seminar run by the Northern Territory Geological Survey to provide geoscientific information and exploration data to assist the mining and exploration industry to make the best possible decisions in planning for exploration programs in the Territory.
The Northern Territory hosts some of the largest mines and mineral deposits in the world. Currently mined world-class deposits include: manganese; bauxite; lead-zinc-silver; gold and uranium. The Northern Territory also contains significant deposits of copper, diamonds, tin, tantalum, vermiculite, magnesite, cobalt, iron ore and rare earths.
A database of all drill samples held in the Drill Core Libraries in Darwin and Alice Springs. The database contains summary information that enables core to be identified. These records include on and offshore petroleum well and mineral drill hole core and cutting samples.
A searchable database allowing users to search on geological provinces of the NT, commodities. Other links provide the latest records on a weekly, monthly and quarterly basis and other keywords.
A database containing material on the geology of the Northern Territory, mineralogy, oil and gas, minerals and petroleum exploration, earth sciences, Northern Territory mining history, occupational health and safety in the mining and petroleum industries and minesite rehabilitation. Formerly known as GEoscience Knowledge Online library catalogue (GEKO).
Mineral Exploration Reports (MEX) formerly known as Mineral Industry Exploration Reports System (IRMS) for finding publically available mineral exploration company reports and data eg annual, relinquishment and final reports.
Mines and Energy is responsible for policy development for, and administration of, the mining, energy and petroleum industries in the Northern Territory.
The development, regulation and monitoring aspects of the environmental performance of mine sites in the Northern Territory under the Mining Management Act 2001
Exploration is the lifeblood of the mining industry. It is the activity through which new resources are discovered. Successful exploration therefore prolongs the life of existing mines or, perhaps more importantly, establishes mining operations in new regions of previously unknown or unrealised potential. The downstream effect of successful exploration can be significant in terms of growing regional economies. The Northern Territory Government has committed to a four year exploration initiative titled Bringing Forward Discovery which commenced in July 2007 and is designed to assist explorers to make the next major mineral and petroleum discoveries in the Territory.
Petroleum Exploration Reports (PEX) formerly known as Petroleum Industry Reports Management System (IRMS) for finding publically available petroleum exploration company reports and data eg well completion reports and seismic data.
Your target for this mission is the Northern Territory - the IDEAL target, with 43% of the Territory covered by mineral provinces considered highly prospective and explorable for mineral resources - the second largest area in Australia!
