The MinEx CRC user guides allows researchers and federal and government surveys to work together to publish their collective knowledge on, workflows, methods and novel analytical techniques related to mineral prospectivity mapping. This will bring collaborators together to share ideas and expertise, and foster standardisation while also being a useful resource for explorers to explain how and why we do what we do in the NDI.
This user guide captures the various novel geochronology techniques that are being used by MinEx CRC researchers across various research institutes, to promote these techniques and to ensure the sustainability of them.
Summary: This guide provides an overview of the 40Ar/39Ar methodology and current work being undertaken within MinEx CRC.
