2 NTGSs efforts in the Arunta Region have resulted in a significant change in the perception of its exploration potential by explorers. The area is now almost completely covered by exploration tenure, with numerous active exploration programs and several newly discovered prospects and resources. The area is emerging as an important greenfields mineral province, with a number of new discoveries and projects moving towards development. In addition to the three major projects outlined in detail below, the following has been achieved in the Arunta Region under Bringing Forward Discovery: Completion of the first detailed summary of the geological framework and prospectivity of the Arunta Region in 15 years, as chapters for the forthcoming Geology and Mineral Resources of the NT volume.
