The Geological Survey of NSW developed a Seamless Geology of UTM Zone 56 during 2014 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).

Magnetic and radiometric data has been reported to the NSW government and released under the requirements of the NSW Mining Act 1992. Contained within this vector file is the location of surveys and acquisition parameters.

An index of 1:250 000 map sheets covering NSW. The index shows maps where the total statewide geophysics package has been clipped and re-imaged to enhance colour stretch for the local regions. Each map sheet suite contains grids and images for up to 40 different layers, including: - Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) - TMI Reduced to the Pole (RTP) - First Vertical Derivative (1VD) of TMI RTP - Second Vertical Derivative (2VD) or TMI RTP - Tilt Angle Filter of TMI RTP - TMI RTP and TMI RTP Tilt composite - Analytical Signal (AS) of TMI RTP - 250m and 500m Upward Continuations (UC) of TMI RTP - 1VD of TMI RTP UC products - Potassium percentage (Kperc) - Thorium parts per million (Thppm) - Uranium parts per million (Uppm) - Potassium-Thorium-Uranium ternary (KThU) - Zero mean normalised Kperc - Zero mean normalised Thppm - Zero mean normalised Uppm - Dose Rate - Uranium squared divided by Thorium (U2/Th) - Thorium divided by Potassium (Th/K) - Uranium divided by Potassium (U/K) - Uranium divided by Thorium (U/Th) - Airborne & Ground Bouguer gravity - Airborne & Ground Bouguer gravity and TMI RTP Tilt composite - Airborne & Ground Bouguer gravity 1VD - Airborne & Ground Isostatic gravity - Airborne & Ground Isostatic gravity and TMI RTP Tilt composite - Airborne & Ground Isostatic gravity 1VD - Digital Elevation Model (DEM) - Terrain colour stretch - Pseudocolour colour stretch - Greyscale colour stretch

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.

Gravity gradiometry data has been reported to the NSW government and released under the requirements of the NSW Mining Act 1992. Contained within this vector file is the location of surveys and acquisition parameters.

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.

Pseudocolour image of the percentage of potassium (K%) in the upper 20 centimetres of the ground. Cooler colours indicate lower abundances of potassium and warmer colours represent higher abundances. Variations in potassium 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 Central NSW 10 metre grid package is a dataset containing best available open-file geophysical data spanning twelve 1:250,000 geological mapsheets, from Cobar in the northwest to Bathurst in the southeast. Available within the package are merged grids and high resolution imagery providing excellent geophysical coverage of the region. Gridded products include: • Digital Elevation Model (DEM) • Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) • Total Magnetic Intensity Reduced to The Pole (TMI RTP) • Total Magnetic Intensity Reduced to The Pole First Vertical Derivative (TMI RTP 1VD) • Total Magnetic Intensity Reduced to The Pole Second Vertical Derivative (TMI RTP 2VD) • Total Magnetic Intensity Reduced to The Pole Tilt Angle Filter (TMI RTP Tilt) • Potassium Percentage (Kperc) • Thorium Parts Per Million (Thppm) • Uranium Parts Per Million (Uppm) • Radiometric K-Th-U Ternary (KThU) • Radiometric Dose Rate (Dose) • Thorium divided by Potassium (ThdivK) • Uranium divided by Potassium (UdivK) • Uranium divided by Thorium (UdivTh) • Uranium Squared divided by Thorium (U2divTh) • Isostatically Corrected Bouguer Gravity (Iso Grav) Images for each grid are also available, with the addition of: • DEM (Terrain) • TMI RTP overlaid on TMI RTP Tilt • Iso Grav overlaid on TMI RTP Tilt
