With the release of new data and four new Mineral Potential Maps, the Australian Government is supporting exploration for minerals such as zinc and associated critical minerals including cobalt, gallium, and germanium for use in renewable technologies.

This information will facilitate exploration in underexplored regions of the country and will play a vital role in ensuring Australia’s base metal production and exports continue to meet growing global demand.

Developed as part of the ŮŮÊÓƵExploring for the Future program, the release will help ensure Australia is well-positioned to take advantage of a booming worldwide clean-energy market.

More national mineral potential assessments are being developed by ŮŮÊÓƵover the coming months for sediment-hosted copper.
