PurposeMaps showing the mineral potential for carbonatite-related rare earth element mineral systems in Australia. Each mineral potential map is a synthesis of different component layers: sources of metals, energy drivers, lithospheric architecture, and ore deposition. One model incorporates the first three component layers and excludes any surficial datasets to focus on targeting under cover. A second model incorporates all four component layers, however includes surficial datasets to map the ore deposition component. A hybrid data- and knowledge-driven approach has been used to weight each of the mappable criteria and integrate them to produce the final mineral potential maps. An uncertainty map is provided in conjunction with the mineral potential map for the second model that represents the availability of data coverage over Australia. An assessment criteria table is provided and contains information on the map creation.
