Mineral Resources Tasmania: new $1.4 million Geoscience Initiative Programme

摘要

In the most recent State Budget, a four-year, $1.4 million Geoscience Initiative Programme was assigned to Mineral Resources Tasmania, designed to improve Tasmania's capability to attract investment in mineral exploration and development. A portion of this funding will result in a significant addition to modern pre-competitive airborne geophysical survey coverage in Tasmania, which is substantially incomplete (see Figure 1). The new data is likely to retain the same 200 m line spacing and nominal 80 m terrain clearance that characterises almost all of Tasmania's extant regional surveys. Further details will appear in the next edition of Preview.
