UNCOVER Summit – Presentations

Presentations from a major national geoscience meeting focused on improving mineral exploration.

The UNCOVER Summit was a major national geoscience meeting focused on improving mineral exploration under deep cover in Australia. It was part of the broader UNCOVER initiative, which aimed to coordinate science, industry and government to boost Australia’s exploration success in covered areas.
