This project aims to understand the underlying mechanisms behind the physical and chemical breakdown of ammonium nitrate based emulsion explosives used for mining in geothermally active regions. It will apply this knowledge to develop a new class of high temperature- and pressure- resistant emulsion explosives. The resulting technology will be used in the safe and efficient mining of precious mineral deposits, such as gold, in geothermally active regions worldwide. The project will benefit the Australian mining industry by allowing mining of resources at deep levels, creating more jobs and increasing Australia's export earnings.

该项目旨在了解用于地热活跃地区采矿的硝酸铵基乳化炸药物理和化学分解背后的基本机制。它将应用这些知识来开发一种新型的耐高温、耐压乳化炸药。由此产生的技术将用于在全球地热活跃地区安全高效地开采黄金等贵重矿藏。该项目将允许深部资源开采、创造更多就业机会并增加澳大利亚出口收入，从而使澳大利亚采矿业受益。
