Project Proposal description The proposal is for an exploration programme to explore for mineral sands and to compile geo-scientific data using geophysical, geological and drilling techniques at locations throughout the length and breadth of the D'Entrecasteaux National Park. The area has been explored from the air using remote sensing geophysical techniques, such as airborne magnetometer surveys, and a number of magnetic anomalies, which may represent mineral sands deposits, have been identified.
