Exploration is the starting point of the mining value chain and the most important stage in transforming hidden geological potential into economic opportunities. Without sustained investment, modern technology, accurate data, and the participation of capable stakeholders, the sustainable development of the mining sector remains constrained. At a time when many of the country's mineral zones require further studies, greater investment risk-taking, and faster identification of exploitable deposits, the targeted entry of the private sector could become one of the main drivers of transformation in mineral exploration.

Western Australia’s co-funded drilling scheme has helped explorers strike high-grade manganese, antimony and gold over the past year, and Round 34 of the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) Co-funded Exploration Drilling Program is now open for the companies chasing the next find.
