Co-funded Geophysics Program (CGP)

A competitive program that offers co-funding to innovative mineral geophysical projects in Western Australia.
Last updated:

The Co-funded Geophysics Program (CGP) is a competitive program of the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) funded by the Western Australian State Government and managed by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA). The CGP aims to provide new information on under explored areas of the State to help find new mineral deposits.

The EIS will allocate approximately $2 million per year to the program. The co-funding amount will be 50% of costs, up to a value of $250,000 per project. It will support geophysical exploration in the mineral resources sector only.

Higher preference will be given to: 1) projects in unexplored or under explored areas; 2) regional to camp-scale projects; 3) projects searching for critical minerals.
