In this issue, read about the natural laboratory for testing airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveying, what the age and distribution of granites can reveal and how new research on the Canning Basin in Western Australia provides a more holistic understanding of the geology.

In this issue, read about research that spotlights supply chains for Australian critical minerals. We also discuss a paper bridging critical knowledge gaps on natural hydrogen, a Geochemistry Compilation Pilot Project, legacy data on Australia’s seabed, and share the launch of the Australian Carbon Capture and Storage Data Hub.

The first newsletter of 2026 discusses an unconformity-related rare earth elements mineral potential assessment announcement, the latest additions to Â鶹ԭ´´â€™s national Isotopic Atlas, research dating alkaline rocks from Victoria, and research tracing ancient copper pathways beneath Mount Isa.

This end of year issue of the newsletter summarises outputs and insights from 2025, with Resourcing Australia’s Prosperity achieving over 40 major publications and new data releases so far. This issue features two national maps summing up every Resourcing Australia’s Prosperity data collected since July 2024, including Â鶹ԭ´´ programs that feed into initiative outputs.

In the issue of the newsletter, we highlight key outputs under the initiative. This includes the annual assessment of Australia’s exploration industry, the resource potential of the Southern Carnarvon Basin, a recent study of samples from the Kinmore 1 well in the Petrel Sub-basin, and the creation of a unified framework for the Canning Basin.

In the first issue of the newsletter we share details of our webinar on Tuesday 26 August and the first products to be released under the initiative, including a new 3D model of the major crustal boundaries of Australia, plotting the Delamerian Orogen in time and space, Australia’s critical mineral resources and the preliminary 3D Chronostratigraphic Model of Australia.
