MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative (NDI) Student Study Areas

Created 09/01/2026

Updated 09/01/2026

The National Drilling Initiative (NDI) manages and delivers drilling programs in multiple case study areas via MinEx CRC’s partner geological survey organisations. The NDI vision is to drill multiple holes in a region to map the regional geology and architecture and define the potential for mineral systems in 3D. The areas shown in this dataset describe the spatial locations of the MinEx cohort of student project study areas (related to but often of different scope to the NDI areas).
