Theme 2: Drilling Collaboration between PIRSA and industry
Theme 2 of PACE - Drilling Collaboration Between PIRSA and Industry - embodies a partnership with industry to undertake drilling in areas with economic mineral potential, that is currently hampered by cover rocks or other factors that discourage investment.
What's New....
The successful projects in the current round of funding have been announced. More information.
Drilling Proposals
Each year, the Department of Primary Industry and Resources (PIRSA) seeks proposals from industry to undertake cooperative exploration drilling projects jointly funded by industry and the government’s PACE initiative.
The program preferentially funds high quality, technically and economically sound projects that promote Greenfield type exploration targets and new exploration technology. Grants are also available for petroleum and geothermal exploration projects.
The proposals undergo rigorous assessment both internal to PIRSA by a panel of Geological Survey officers and externally by highly experienced and independent assessors.
Successful proposals are viewed as the highest quality exploration targets based on sound technical, scientific and commercial criteria.
