EM-IP-MT 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.

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.

Wind farms dataset displays the location of wind farms in NSW. Wind Farms contain wind turbines, which can be up to 200m tall.

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.

Survey Pegs used to mark out Mineral Claims in the Lightning Ridge and White Cliffs areas of NSW, Australia.

Many airborne surveys have been acquired by the NSW government through the NSW Exploration, Discovery 2000 and New Frontiers Initiative funding. Others have been acquired jointly with Geoscience Australia (formerly AGSO). Contained within this vector file are details on each of the surveys and some acquisition parameters, which will help locate survey data stored digitally.

AEM 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 AEMsurveys and acquisition parameters.

In 1994 the Lightning Ridge Mining Board determined that the title ‘Preserved Fields’ would be applied to older mining areas which would not be returned to their previous land use, adopting less strict rehabilitation standards.

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.

This layer shows the boundaries of ground gravity surveys acquired by the NSW government. Details on the spacing and age of the gravity station within each project area are in the attributes.
