Product description:

Introduction:
The Stavely Project is a collaborative geoscience research project between Geoscience Australia and the Victorian Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (represented by the Geological Survey of Victoria). The aim of the Stavely Project is to improve the understanding of the regional geological architecture and mineral prospectivity of western Victoria, in particular the Cambrian-aged Stavely Arc.

Key findings:
A new geological understanding for the Stavely Arc has been developed as part of a pre-competitive collaborative geoscience work program undertaken by the Geological Survey of Victoria and Geoscience Australia. The knowledge generated through a systems approach has greatly expanded the mineral exploration search space for arc-related mineral systems over an area of approximately 20,000 km² in western Victoria. The geoscientific outcomes of the project, with particular emphasis on their impact on mineral prospectivity and application to mineral exploration, were publicly presented as part of a technical workshop in Melbourne, Victoria on 27 and 28 June 2018.
