"The outcomes of the competition will demonstrate how data-driven geological approaches can be applied to mineral exploration and benefit the entire industry due to a more sophisticated understanding of the geology of the resource-rich Gawler Craton area of the state’s Far North.

While businesses globally are restricted by the measures adopted to reduce transmission of the virus, the South Australian government has remained focussed on ensuring the state is in the best possible position for economic recovery once this health emergency is over. ExploreSA: The Gawler Challenge is an important facet of this rebound."
