    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.

    Geophysics survey 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. These surveys use uncommon techniques.

    Isostatic residual Bouguer gravity image overlain on tilt-filtered total magnetic intensity reduced to the pole (Tilt TMI RTP) image. The image is a partially-transparent pseudocolour layer of Isostatic residual Bouguer gravity, with a histogram-equalised colour-stretch, overlain on a greyscale intensity layer of the Tilt TMI RTP, with a histogram-equalised stretch. Bouguer gravity compensates for variations in latitude, 'free-air' elevation and Bouguer correction (assuming a crustal density of 2.67 T/m³). The isostatic correction removes the effect of variations in the thickness of the Earth’s crust due to changes in topography. The tilt-angle filter of total magnetic intensity produces a local positive maximum over a magnetic source and is zero near the edge of the source, and is useful for tracing geological structure below variable depths of cover.

    An index of 1:250 000 map sheets and special geophysics surveys that covers NSW. The index shows maps where the total statewide geophysics package has been clipped and spectrally reinterpreted. Each map sheet suite of geophysical imagery contains up to 20 different layers including: greyscale Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI), pseudocolour TMI, greyscale 1st Vertical Derivative (1VD) of the TMI, greyscale 2nd Vertical Derivative (2VD) of the TMI, pseudocolour TMI Reduced To the Pole (RTP), greyscale 1VD TMI RTP, greyscale TMI RTP tilt filtered, pseudocolour TMI RTP draped over greyscale TMI RTP tilt filtered, pseudocolour Bouguer gravity, pseudocolour isostatic Bouguer gravity, greyscale isostatic Bouguer gravity tilt filtered, pseudocolour isostatic Bouguer gravity draped over greyscale isostatic Bouguer gravity tilt filtered, pseudocolour isostatic Bouguer gravity draped over greyscale TMI RTP tilt filtered, etc. The MinView layer provides a link to the DIGS catalogue entry which has a set JPEGs, TIFFs and ECWs for the area.

    Areas restricted from mining or exploration. Reserves emplaced by external agencies or authorities. If a lease application covers part or all of one of these areas, it must be referred to and approved by the agency which created the restriction.

    Greyscale image of the first vertical derivative (1VD) of total magnetic intensity reduced to the pole (TMI RTP) which has been upward continued by 500m. Darker tones indicate lower values and lighter tones represent higher values. Reduction to the pole filters magnetic anomalies to appear as if the Earth's magnetic field were locally vertical, as at the magnetic pole (assuming all magnetic sources are inductively magnetised). Upward continuation artificially increases the elevation which removes the influence of high frequency signals caused by near surface geology. The 1VD filter shows the vertical rate of change in the Earth's total magnetic field and enhances boundaries and structural detail of shallow sources. Variations in the magnetic field are caused by lithological factors, principally magnetite (and/or pyrrhotite) content. This Statewide image was generated by merging many individual airborne magnetic surveys.
