Details

Resourcing Australia’s Prosperity is the Australian Government’s 35-year precompetitive geoscience initiative, led by Geoscience Australia. The initiative will support the discovery and responsible development of critical minerals, strategic materials and other resources required for Australia’s transition to net zero, while supporting informed and responsible management of Australia’s resources. Working in partnership with state and territory governments, Geoscience Australia will undertake 12 detailed, multi-commodity Deep Dive assessments in selected onshore regions with unrealised resource potential. Deep Dive projects will collect, compile, analyse and interpret geoscientific information at regional and finer scales to improve understanding of resource prospectivity and reduce exploration and investment risk

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this mining & metals opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
