Abstract

The Metallogenic map of New South Wales shows:

  • major metallic mineral districts shown by a symbol indicating the mineral system type and relative A$ value
  • the location of important or representative deposits within a district, shown as a point with a reference number
  • a 4 km buffer about mineral deposits representing a schematic outline of the extent of the mineral district or system.

This map shows only districts/systems with a known metal endowment (past production and global resources) greater than A$10 million. There has been no attempt to reflect the future potential of an area.
