Compiled by M. Peljo in 2000, this volume incorporates the abstracts of papers presented at the May 2000 Broken Hill Exploration Initiative (BHEI) conference in Broken Hill. The BHEI is a joint Commonwealth/State program, carried out under the National Geoscience Mapping Accord, which aims to evaluate a new generation of geoscientific information for the Broken Hill DIary region in New South Wales and South Australia to provide a framework for continued mineral resource exploration and discovery. The conference series is one of the means for the BHEI stakeholders to share the results of their scientific and exploratory work, and to discuss and plan future work. Comments from participants in previous conferences suggest the BHEI is having a considerable impact on exploration strategies and perceptions of mineral potential in the Curnamona Province.
Technical sessions provided the opportunity to present results on regional geology, metallogenesis, geochemistry, exploration and mineral deposits, and geochronology. The talks ranged in their subjects from re-evaluation of time-honored exploration methods, to regolith and associated topics, to exciting new approaches to generate new exploration targets. Abstracts are listed alphabetically according to the surname of the first author.
Involved with the BHEI program are: • The Australian Geological Survey Organization, the New South Wales Department of Mineral Resources, and the Department of Primary Industries and Resources, South Australia • The Cooperative Research Centers for Landscape Evolution and Mineral Exploration, Australian Geodynamics, and Australian Mineral Exploration Technologies • Universities of Melbourne, La Trobe, Monash, New England, Tasmania, and the Australian National University • Mineral exploration and mining companies, and consultancies.
