This is the first release of stream sediment geochemical data covering most of the outcropping portion of the Mesoproterozoic Croydon Province in north Queensland. This product contains ASCII data files containing sample number, sample site location and element values.

To assist the mining industry during the current buoyant times of historically high nickel and platinum-group element prices, Geoscience Australia has produced two web-based map sheets (at 1:5 million and 1:10 million scales) that show the spatial distribution of Proterozoic (2500 Ma to 545 Ma) mafic-ultramafic magmatic events in Australia. The maps illustrate for the first time, the continental extent and age relationships of Proterozoic mafic and ultramafic rocks and their associated mineral deposits. These rocks have been assigned to thirty Magmatic Events (ME) that range in age from the Early Palaeoproterozoic ~2455 Ma (ME 1) to the Early Cambrian ~520 Ma (ME 30). Resource package contains: - Australian Proterozoic Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events: Map Sheets 1 and 2 - Guide to Using the Australian Proterozoic Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events Map - Spreadsheets of data that support the maps - A time series animation summarising all the mafic-ultramafic magmatic events

The Yilgarn OZCHEM database subset is comprised of 4886 wholerock analyses derived from AGSO field work and the literature. AGSO's complete OZCHEM database contains approximately 50000 analyses, mainly from Australia but some are also from Papua New Guinea, Antarctica, Solomon Islands and New Zealand. Approximately 32000 analyses of Australian rocks of all ages and some New Zealand Tertiary volcanics are available for sale. The location is stored with each analysis along with geological descriptions, including the host stratigraphic unit and lithology. Most samples have been collected by AGSO field parties.OZCHEM is stored in an ORACLE relational database and is available in Oracle export, comma-delimited relational ASCII, and Microsoft Access formats.

The Pilbara OZCHEM database subset is comprised of 2218 wholerock analyses derived from AGSO field work and the literature.

When the PMDCRC project concluded at Geoscience Australia, some data was left unsorted. This directory contains that residual data. In 2001, a partnership was formed between Australia's mining industry and research community to examine the issues surrounding predictive mineral exploration in Australia. In the preceding decade, despite record levels of exploration, the discovery of high level deposits declined. The predictive mineral discovery Cooperative Research Centre (pmd *CRC ) began its work to find new methods of predicting where the mineral deposits lay. The research looked to create a fundamental shift in mineral exploration practice giving greater scope for larger finds at greatly reduced costs by developing a vastly improved understanding of mineralising processes and a four dimensional understanding of the evolution of the geology of mineralised terrains. Since its inception, research has been carried out by the CRC through innovative and effective programs and projects over a two stage process. This website will act as a major portal for the dissemination of research findings. As well it offers the mining industry, the education sector and the wider community information and access to experts in the field, case studies of successful programs, business opportunities and employment directions for young emerging students and researchers. The pmd *CRC formally ceased to exist on 30 June 2008
