Mineral systems inventory and assessments

Led by Geoscience Australia, Resourcing Australia’s Prosperity is a 35-year precompetitive geoscience initiative designed to facilitate the discovery and responsible development of strategic materials and critical minerals essential for the transition to net zero. The program focuses on improving the understanding of resource prospectivity and reducing investment risks through 12 detailed, multi-commodity Deep Dive assessments in onshore regions with unrealised potential. These assessments involve the collection, analysis, and interpretation of geoscientific data in partnership with state and territory governments. The specific solicitation for mineral systems inventory and assessments, identified by number GA2026/2574, was posted on November 9, 2026, with a response deadline of December 7, 2026. Performance of the contract is expected across major Australian cities, including Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Darwin, and Hobart.
