OZMIN is a new mineral deposits database which has been developed in AGSO for use in the National Geoscience Mapping Accord (NGMA) and in national metallogenic research. OZMIN has been structured so that the attribute data can be retrieved and analysed in relation to spatial data contained in a geographic information system (GIS). It utilises the Oracle relational database management system. This Record provides the necessary documentation for users to access and enter data specific to mineral deposits, prospects, and occurrences; their host rocks; and important features of their geological setting. The Record explains the relationship of OZMIN to other AGSO relational databases, the attributes used in the database and their legal values. It also describes the various screen forms used in the database and provides information on those corporate authority tables commonly accessed by OZMIN.

Under the Community Stream Sampling and Salinity Mapping Project, the Australian Government through the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and the Department of Environment and Heritage, acting through Bureau of Rural Sciences, funded an airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey to provide information in relation to land use questions in selected areas along the River Murray Corridor (RMC). The proposed study areas and major land use issues were identified by the RMC Reference Group at its inception meeting on 26th July, 2006. This report has been prepared to facilitate recommendations on the Lindsay-Wallpolla study area. The work was developed in consultation with the RMC Technical Working Group (TWG) to provide a basis for the RMC Reference Group and other stake holders to understand the value and application of AEM data to the study area. This understanding, combined with the Reference Group's assessment of the final results and taking in account policy and land management issues, will enable the Reference Group to make recommendations to the Australian Government.

The mineral industry is an integral part of the Australian economy, generating $29,785 million in export revenue in the 1993-94 financial year. This was over 60% of all commodity exports for the year. Such an important contribution was possible because of the large and diverse resources that sustain the industry. Economic demonstrated resources (EDR) of several commodities, including gold, ilmenite, manganese, magnesite, zinc, tin and silver, rose substantially in 1994. EDR for cadmium, diamond and vanadium fell significantly, and for other commodities remained steady or showed minor variation over the year. Exploration expenditure continued to be dominated by the search for gold. Figures published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) show that in 1993-94, $793 million was spent on mineral exploration of which 57% was on gold. Expenditure on diamond exploration rose by 54% to $58 million. Successful exploration programs have maintained Australia's position as one of the world's premier resource nations despite continued high rates of production. Australia is one of the world's top six countries for resources of commodities as diverse as bauxite, bismuth, gold, mineral sands, lithium, iron ore, lead, silver, manganese, zinc, tantalum and uranium.
