Minerals. Geoscience Australia provides pre-competitive geoscience information to address greenfield exploration challenges and identify new mineral provinces within Australia. This pre-competitive information is acquired through integrated programs of national strategic importance, such as the Unlocking Australia's Hidden Mineral Resource Potential Program which commenced in July 2013. The Agency also advises the Australian Government on mineral resources, mining and land use which is integral to decisions on the nation's known mineral endowment, the sustainable development of mineral resources and levels of exploration activity.

Mining stuff. Mysterious donation for Broken Hill art gallery. Margaret Paul Posted Thu 14 Mar 2013, 7:29am AEDT The Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery has a mysterious overseas benefactor. The gallery has received several boxes of books about Japanese art that are postmarked from Japan. Manager Cathy Farry says the pictures are nice to look at and the books are publicly available if anyone wants to have a look. But she says she does not know who they are from. "We keep them safe and look after them," she said. "They just appeared so I don't even know where they're from because I can't read the Japanese. " Staff at the gallery have been busy moving all the books in the library to another room in the gallery so the library can be turned into an exhibition space. Ms Farry says the new exhibition space is now open, and features works done at a recent screen-printing workshop.
"They're really varied in the styles," she said. "Some have an almost folk-art appearance, and others are a bit more expressive, I suppose, free-styling a bit more. "
