Abstract
The GILMORE Project (Geoscience In Land Management and Ore System Research for Exploration) is a pilot study designed to assess methodologies and technologies for identifying mineral prospectivity and dryland salinity in areas of complex regolith cover (Lawrie et al., 2000). The project area (100 x 150 km) lies in the eastern part of the Murray-Darling Basin in central-west NSW and straddles the Gilmore Fault Zone, a major NNW-trending crustal structure that separates the Wagga-Omeo and the Junee-Narromine Volcanic Belts in the Lachlan Fold Belt. Included in the project area are tributaries of the Lachlan and the Murrumbidgee Rivers. A critical aspect of this research was to develop databases and a GIS to enable researchers to view and analyse complex datasets and their inter-relationships in both two and three dimensions. The GILMORE Project GIS consists of 11 CDs in 2 volumes. Volume 1 is comprised of 5 CDs and contains airborne electromagnetic (AEM), magnetic and gamma-ray spectrometric geophysical datasets. These are included in point located (line) form as ASCII column format files, and in gridded form as ERMapper format grids. These data have already been released. Volume 2 comprises of 6 CDs containing data in ESRI\222s ArcInfo and ArcView for mat. Each CD has an ArcView Project accessing colour geophysical images (created in ERMapper), ArcInfo polygon, point and line coverages, ArcView shape files, with links to gif images, photos and .dbf files. The GIS will also be released in MapInfo format.
