The changes primarily relate to: objections the partial return of security deposits supply of public liability insurance during the application process reporting of exploration activities quarterly and...

The Rosebery-Lyell 3D geological and geophysical model is an extension and refinement of previous MRT 3D models in the region.  It expresses a new structural synthesis based on mapping and multiple cross sections produced by numerous geologists over several decades. It extends to a depth of 10 km within the area depicted at left.  The model is constrained by 3D geophysical...

Western Tasmania has an exceptionally rich and diverse range of geological features in a small area, including folded and glaciated mountain ranges, ancient volcanoes, world class ore bodies, rare minerals, and ancient fossils. Here, the handiwork of the massive forces and landscape-forming processes of the "Living Earth" are evident in nearly every view. Rocks from all the major geological...
