The Geological Survey of South Australia has partnered with the MinEx CRC to undertake a National Drilling Initiative project on the under explored Delamerian Orogen. This project includes a geoscientific drilling program and allied research to understand the geology and mineral potential of both the Delamerian basement and overlying Murray Basin cover. The National Drilling Initiative looks to drill multiple holes around Australia to map the regional geology and architecture and define the potential for mineral systems in 3D.
