New CSIRO software tool to accelerate mineral discovery in Australia
Engineering News, Other, 20/06/2025
Australia’s national science agency CSIRO has this week released LandScape+, a new online tool to help geologists interpret their geochemical data and plan follow-up exploration programmes to target new resources across a range of commodities including gold, lithium and copper. Mineral exploration in Australia is challenging because much of the land is covered by a thick layer of loose soil, sand, and broken-down rock – making it harder to detect signs of the valuable minerals beneath.
