Abstract
As part of the 'Felsic Igneous Rocks of Australia' project, Geoscience Australia personnel have been compiling and synthesising datasets of various metallogenic parameters for intrusive and country rock units of the Tasmanides of eastern Australia (previously reported in the issues of AUSGEO News web address; see http://www.ga.gov.au/rural/projects/aust_felsic_igneous_rocks.jsp), to assist the exploration industry in the search for intrusion-related mineralisation systems. As reported earlier this approach is been undertaken as regional modules, with datasets for north Queensland currently being prepared for release, and datasets for Tasmania now completed and released as a joint Geoscience Australia Mineral Resources Tasmania product. The project, in collaboration with Geoscience Victoria, is now extending into the Tasman Fold Belt of Victoria, and is currently synthesising metallogenic data on the intrusive igneous rocks and associated country rocks units for that state. Products of this study, which will include downloadable data tables (linked to Geoscience Australia's National Map digital geology) will be released early 2007.
