Abstract
Exploring for the Future was a $100.5 million initiative by the Australian Government dedicated to boosting investment in resource exploration in Australia. The four-year program (2016-2020) focused on northern Australia and parts of South Australia. The under-explored northern Australian region offers enormous potential for industry development and is advantageously located close to major global markets. Geoscience Australia's leading scientists used and developed new innovative techniques to gather new scientific data and information, on an unprecedented scale, about the potential mineral, energy and groundwater resources concealed beneath the surface. This work was undertaken in greenfield areas, where the Exploring for the Future program had the greatest impact. This dataset depicts the geographical extents of the various projects undertaken as part of this program, with an indicative total spend for each

Series Information
Lineage
Project extents have been generated by aggregating all data collection locations for each project area into a polygon. This work has been carried out in ESRI's ArcGIS software and stored in a file geodatabase format.
