Cost and Ordering

The Explorers Guide has been produced in a DVD format due to the large amount of text, data and figures. It draws on the knowledge and expertise of geoscientific professionals in Minerals and Energy Resources, but still only represents the tip of the iceberg in terms of data and knowledge available to mineral explorers through the agency.

The DVD is available at a cost of AU$20 (inc GST, plus AU$5 postage and handling).

Orders can be made via the ONLINE Order Form, or through the Customer Services Centre.
