Grant Activity:
Go with the flow: tracing ancient groundwater pathways to discover copper
Purpose:
The green energy transition requires significant amounts of copper, yet no major copper discoveries have been made in recent decades. This project aims to discover potential new regions of sediment-hosted copper deposits by developing novel continent-scale groundwater models which track the transport of mobile copper through the subsurface. These deposits require less energy to mine and produce less waste than conventional copper deposits. Expected outcomes of this project include new models of copper transport within the Stuart Shelf, South Australia. This will improve the understanding of groundwater flow rates and timescales required for copper formation with significant impacts for resource potential to power the energy transition.
