This project is a collaboration between CSIRO, ANU and Lynas Corporation, under CSIRO's iPhD program. It aims to understand the genesis of the niobium enrichment at the Mt Weld carbonatite and to use this information to develop exploration models for future discoveries.

Apart from Greg Yaxley and John Mavrogenes, the project team includes Ignacio Gonzalez-Alvarez (CSIRO), Weihua Liu (CSIRO) plus a PhD student to be recruited.
