Tectonic mode switches coincide with short periods of time during which base and precious metals, as well as diamond-bearing kimberlites are emplaced into the continental crust. Our research is aimed at uncovering why this should be so, thereby perhaps solving a riddle that is at the present little more than an oddity in respect to mineral exploration. If we can understand the underlying science we may be able to provide practical benefits to mineral explorers. The project uses modelling and simulation research infrastructure provided by the AuScope NCRIS initiative, and benefits the community by returning data to this organization.

构造模式的开关与短时间的相吻合一致，在此期间，将碱和贵金属以及含钻石的金伯利岩融合到大陆地壳中。 我们的研究旨在揭示为什么应该这样做的原因，从而解决了目前的谜语，而不是关于矿物探索的奇怪之处。 如果我们能够理解潜在的科学，我们也许可以为矿物探险家提供实际好处。 该项目使用Auscope NCRIS倡议提供的建模和仿真研究基础架构，并通过将数据返回该组织来使社区受益。
