The ARC Centre of Excellence in Ore Deposits will encompass an innovative program of multidisciplinary research in ore deposit location, formation, discovery and recovery. Innovative fundamental research on where ore deposits occur, how they form and their deep earth signatures will give our minerals industry a new scientific framework in which to search for ore. The existing ARC Special Research Centre for Ore Deposit Research has played a pivotal role in Australia's current leadership in mineral exploration-related research. The new ARC Centre of Excellence will build on this success by increasing collaboration and expanding into new research areas critical to the growth of Australia's minerals industry.
