    This vector contains the flight lines from the MinEx Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) Cobar Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) survey. This survey was a collaboration between the Geological Survey of NSW and Geoscience Australia

    Depth to the Mohorovičić discontinuity (Moho) interpreted and modelled by Geognostics with support from government and industry. The Moho surface is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the upper mantle. The depth to moho is a representation of the thickness of the Earth's Crust. This moho surface is derived from seismic, gravity and other geophysical datasets.

    This vector contains the boundary of the MinEx Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) Cobar Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) surveydivided into three areas. This division is based on the flight line spacing which varies from 2.5 to 5.0 km. This survey was a collaboration between the Geological Survey of NSW and Geoscience Australia.

    This layer shows the boundary of the AusLAMP NSW survey and the station locations. Data were acquired by a collaboration between GSNSW and Geoscience Australia. Data were used to create a 3D resistivity model of the crust from 10 km depth to 200 km depth.

    Identifies Mineral Claims Districts in the State of NSW as defined by Part 9, Division 1, Section 173 of the Mining Act 1992 No. 29. There are two current Mineral Claims Districts: Lightning Ridge Mineral Claims District, and White Cliffs Mineral Claims District.

    Pseudocolour image of the concentration of uranium in parts per million within in the upper 20 centimetres of the ground. Cooler colours indicate lower abundances of uranium and warmer colours represent higher abundances. Variations in uranium values are caused by varied mineral compositions in host rocks and soils. This statewide image was generated by merging many individual airborne radiometric surveys.

    The NSW Government has ruled out considering a significant proportion of the state’s coal regions for proactive release under the Strategic Release Framework for Coal and Petroleum Exploration. In these mapped areas, new coal exploration can continue to occur directly adjacent to an existing coal title, if an exploration licence applicant meets approval requirements. If a coal exploration licence is granted, an operator is not permitted to access the land unless they have an access arrangement with the landholder. The grant of a coal exploration licence is not a guarantee of mining. An operator would still need to obtain development consent under the planning framework.

    Pseudocolour image of the ratio between uranium and thorium within the upper 20 centimetres of the ground. Cooler colours indicate lower abundances of uranium relative to thorium and warmer colours represent the opposite. Variations in U2/Th ratio are caused varied mineral compositions in host rocks and soils. This statewide image was generated by merging many individual airborne radiometric surveys.

    In 2016, the Geological Survey of NSW (GSNSW) published a state-wide depth to basement 3D model (Robinson 2016, 2017). Since then, new geological and geophysical data have been released and used for the construction of basin-scale 3D geological models for the southern Thomson Orogen and the Sydney, Gunnedah and Bowen basins (Davidson 2019; Oliveira and Davidson 2019; Oliveira et al. 2019). The basement topography under these regions was refined and the results have now been incorporated into the updated state-wide depth to basement 3D model reported herein.
