Cloncurry METAL shifts the big-data paradigm in mineral exploration by developing a quantitative, fully integrated, multi-modal, scale-consistent methodology for mineral system characterisation. The data comprise collocated petrophysical–mineralogical–geochemical–structural–metasomatic characterisation of 23 deposits from a highly complex mineral system. This approach enables translation of the mineral system processes into physics, providing a framework for smarter geophysics-based exploration.
