Australian Mineral Exploration - A Review of Exploration for the Year 2006

Australian mineral exploration spending in 2005-06 rose by 20.6% to a record $1240.7 million, 36.9% of which was spent on the search for new deposits.

Western Australia dominated with 47.6% of Australian mineral exploration spending while South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland had record expenditure. Tasmanian spending rose by 172%.

Gold remained the main target, but its share of spending was eroded by growth in nickel, copper, iron ore, coal and uranium exploration.

Exploration results were announced for a wide range of commodities from across the country including:

Mineral sands (Gullivers, South Australia, and Cooljarloo North, Western Australia)

Nickel (Saxon, Tasmania)

Gold-copper (Tekapo, Northern Territory)

Gold (Tandarra, Victoria, and Tropicana, Western Australia)

Base metals (Cuttaburra, New South Wales)

Copper (Rocklands, Queensland)
