    Elevation is a greyscale layer with a histogram-equalised colour stretch. Cooler colours indicate lower values and warmer colours represent increasingly higher elevation. Elevation is derived from 5 metre LiDAR coverage of NSW and has been resampled to a uniform 25 metre grid cell size.

    This layer shows the boundaries of each airborne gravity survey acquired by the NSW Government. Details on the spacing and age of the gravity data within each project area are in the attributes. The information contained in this publication is based on knowledge and understanding at time of writing (April 2017). Because of advances in knowledge, users are reminded of the need to ensure that information upon which they rely is up to date. The information contained in this publication may not be or may no longer be aligned with government policy nor does the publication indicate or imply government policy.

    Greyscale image of the tilt-angle filter (Tilt) of total magnetic intensity, reduced to the pole (TMI RTP). 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). The Tilt filter produces a positive maximum over the centre of a magnetic source and is zero near the edge of the source, and is useful for tracing geological structure below variable depths of cover. 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.

    Total magnetic intensity reduced to the pole (TMI RTP) image overlain on tilt-filtered (Tilt) total magnetic intensity reduced to the pole image. The image is a partially-transparent pseudocolour layer of TMI RTP, with a histogram-equalised colour-stretch, overlain on a greyscale intensity layer of the Tilt, with a histogram-equalised stretch. Cooler colours indicate lower values and warmer colours represent higher TMI RTP values. Dark tones indicate lower values and lighter tones represent higher values of the Tilt.

    Greyscale image of first vertical derivative (1VD) of Bouguer gravity. Darker tones indicate lower values and lighter tones represent higher values. Bouguer gravity compensates for variations in latitude, 'free-air' elevation and Bouguer correction (assuming a crustal density of 2.67 T/m³). Attention: Please ensure your version of the NSW gravity merges contains the date ‘2024-10-30’ in their filename. An update was made to remedy location errors in the initial release. Apologies for any inconvenience.

    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 ratio between uranium and thorium within the upper 20 centimetres of the ground. This image was generated using normalised input grids to avoid ‘divide by zero’ errors. Cooler colours indicate lower abundances of uranium relative to thorium and warmer colours represent the opposite. Variations in U/Th ratio are caused varied mineral compositions in host rocks and soils. This statewide image was generated by merging many individual airborne radiometric surveys.
