Australia's gold rush saw the start of a mining industry, that forged a prosperous nation supplying raw materials to build a modern world. Today, much of the nation's wealth still comes from minerals and energy. Geoscience Australia understands that recovering these resources are matters of national importance. Finding and extracting concealed deposits is challenging It requires significant time, knowledge and increasing innovation To identify new opportunities to build confidence in our industry and attract investment to sustain our resources pipeline How do we build Australia's resource wealth? We need to be bold explorers using advanced technologies to discover our resource and energy potential for resilient industries, job security, and a stable economy This is the work of Geoscience Australia It maps the location and distribution of Australia's geological assets And uses innovative techniques to uncover our hidden resources. It provides scientific advice to government and industry partners To make informed decisions now and into the future. Australia needs resources for a modern society. To provide energy for growing communities. To fuel a stable economy To build a secure future for the next generation. Geoscience Australia, applying geoscience to Australia's most important challenges
