Sediment-hosted base metal mineral potential maps

Maps showing the potential for sediment-hosted base metal mineral systems in Australia. Each of the mineral potential maps is a synthesis of four component layers: sources of metals, energy drivers, lithospheric architecture, and depositional gradients, using a weighted sum to produce the final mineral potential map for the mineral system. Uncertainty maps are provided in conjunction with each of the mineral potential maps that represent the availability of data coverage over Australia for the selected combination of input maps. Uncertainty values range between 0 and 1, with higher uncertainty values being located in areas where more input maps are missing data or have unknown values. The set of input maps used to generate the mineral potential maps is provided along with an assessment criteria table that contains information on the map creation.

Statement

<div>A large number of published datasets were individually transformed to summarise our current understanding of the spatial extents of key mineral system mappable criteria. These individual layers were integrated using weightings within a mineral system component framework to produce national-scale mineral potential assessments for Australian sediment-hosted base metal mineral systems.

Update August 2023: </div>

<div>· Addition of sediment-hosted Cu mineral potential maps and corresponding uncertainty maps</div>

<div>· Addition of input maps for sediment-hosted Cu mineral potential</div>

<div>· Addition of input maps for sediment-hosted Zn-Pb mineral potential</div>

<div>· Update to assessment criteria table with information on sediment-hosted Cu mineral system</div>

<div>· Update to metadata statement for data</div>
