Abstract

Summary

This paper reviews three different collaborative approaches that have been applied to acquire precompetitive geophysical data in the Northern Territory. The collaborative structures involve the resource exploration industry, Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) and Geoscience Australia (GA), classified as Industry-led, NTGS-led and GA-led dependent on which group takes the lead role in survey design and project management.

Each collaborative structure has different benefits, trading off between project targeting, impact and scale. All three collaborative approaches have successfully contributed to increasing the coverage, resolution, quality and variety of pre-competitive geophysical data within the NT and will continue to be refined and applied into the future.
