A map showing selected mines, mineral deposits and historice mines on the radiometric map of Australia. 1:5 million scale.

A geotechnical landscape map of Australia has been drawn depicting regions of constant [geological and physical] (NOT geophysical {Ed}) properties for road construction. The map, drawn at a scale of 1:2 500 000 for clarity, has a true accuracy of a 1:5 000 000 scale map, and is based on the four variables - landform, underlying lithology, soil type and [surficial] lithology - which are the principal [geological and physical] determinants for road construction. The origins and interpretation of the source maps together with a description of the legend of the geotechnical landscape map are described in this Report. Precis {Ed}: A map delineating regions with differing geotechical properties with particular application to road construction.

National map which identifies Australia's major mines and mineral deposits by age of formation overlayed on a grey-scale magnetic image of the continent. Complements the 2nd edition AGSO-MCA map released in April 2000 (Catalog # 33045).

These maps were made initially for the PDAC 2001 International Convention. They have been published and made available via the web. There are two maps for each of the following commodities (gold, nickel, lead-zinc and copper). The first map depicts Australia's mineral occurrence locations, deposits, potential rock units and geological regions with the mineral occurrence density grid, while the second map provides an infrastructure theme and the mineral occurrence density grid. Infrastructure includes roads, railways and pipelines.
