Description: This PhD project utilises hyperspectral analysis to map mineral systems and alteration patterns in Western Australia’s greenstone belts, which are renowned for their rich mineral deposits. By analysing over 450 drill cores and integrating thermal infrared data, the research aims to uncover anomalies and trends that could enhance mineral exploration.
Benefits: The project will improve the efficiency and accuracy of mineral exploration, leading to more effective discovery of valuable resources. It will also contribute to the development of advanced analytical techniques, boosting Australia’s mining industry and supporting its role as a global resource powerhouse.
