Exploring for the Future update - new data and information from northern Australia

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

The Exploring for the Future program (EFTF) is a $225M Federal Government-funded initiative spanning the period July 2016 to June 2024. This multi-disciplinary program involves aspects of method development and new pre-competitive data acquisition at a variety of scales, with the aim of building an integrated understanding of Australia’s mineral, energy and groundwater potential. Significant work has been undertaken across northern Australia within regional-scale projects and as part of national-scale data acquisition and mapping activities. Some of these activities have been largely completed, and have generated new data and products, while others are ongoing. A comprehensive overview of the EFTF program can be found via the program website (eftf.ga.gov.au). Here, we overview a range of activities with implications for resource exploration in the Northern Territory.
