Depth contours derived from the NSW Basement Elevation Model.

Gazetted Reserves which exclude mining and/or exploration operations. Specifically for use in the Lightning Ridge and White Cliffs areas.

This vector contains the boundary and flight lines of Infill Area D. Infill Area D is part of the MinEx Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) Cobar Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) survey. This survey was a collaboration between the Geological Survey of NSW (GSNSW) and Geoscience Australia. Infill D was funded by Legacy Minerals Pty. Ltd. Regional lines were funded by GSNSW.

The Competitive Allocation Pathway is designed to maximise the value of a suitable unallocated coal resource through a competitive process. The Department of Regional NSW’s (Regional NSW) Guideline for the Competitive Allocation of Coal (December 2020) sets out when the Competitive Allocation Pathway applies.

The petrophysics database contains petrophysical (rock physical properties) data managed and acquired by the Geological Survey of NSW (GSNSW). Petrophysical properties recorded are: magnetic susceptibility (volume normalised); principal axes and degree of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility; natural remanent magnetisation (NRM) intensity and direction; remanent magnetisation component directions; Koenigsberger (Q) ratio; saturated density; dry density; grain density; porosity. Vector and tensor magnetic properties (remanence and AMS) are oriented to in-situ (geographic) and fold-corrected (stratigraphic) coordinates where sample and bedding orientation are known.

This vector file contains the location of reprocessed surveys and their acquisition parameters. These reprocessed surveys are from airborne geophysical surveys that have been submitted to the NSW government by exploration and mining companies. They have been publicly released under the NSW Mining Act 1992.

This layer shows a depth slice from a 3D resistivity model of the crust derived from an inversion of the AusLAMP NSW long period MT data.

Pending mineral claims granted under Part 9, Division 4, Section 190 of the Mining Act 1992 No 29.

The Geological Survey of NSW developed a Seamless Geology of UTM Zone 56 during2014 as part of a project to develop a seamless vector geology dataset of the best available geological mapping data covering the whole of NSW.The overarching aims of the Statewide Seamless Geology Project were to: (i) compile the different original scales, formats and rock unit naming conventions into a consistent, statewide format; (ii) edge-match the geology across existing map sheets; and (iii) interpret the basement geology under cover. The resulting geodatabase comprises a series of layers which include: (i) solid basement geology; (ii) cover rocks (defined as undeformed and unmetamorphosed); (iii) Mesozoic igneous rocks; and (iv) Cenozoic sedimentary and igneous rocks. The project was divided into 3 major stages corresponding to the UTM zones which divide New South Wales. This dataset includes the seamless geology layers from the NSW portion of UTM Zone 56 (ie.east of 150 degrees longitude to the coast).

Spatial data set showing Mining Divisions within New South Wales. Each Mining Division has a Mining Registrar. A title is considered to be within the Mining Division in which the most northeasterly portion of the title lies.
