Brief description

Maps showing the potential for iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) mineral systems in Australia. Each of the mineral potential maps is a synthesis of four component layers (source of metals, fluids and ligands; energy sources and fluid flow drivers; fluid flow pathways and architecture; and ore depositional gradients). The model uses a hybrid data-driven and knowledge driven methodology to produce the final mineral potential map for the mineral system. An uncertainty map is provided in conjunction with the mineral potential maps that represents the availability of data coverage over Australia for the selected combination of input maps. Uncertainty values range between 0 and 1, with higher uncertainty values being located in areas where more input maps are missing data or have unknown values. The input maps and mineral deposits and occurrences used to generate the mineral potential map are provided along with an assessment criteria table which contains information on the map creation.

Lineage

Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement:
A large number of published datasets were individually transformed to summarise our current understanding of the spatial extents of key mineral system mappable criteria. These individual layers were integrated using statistically derived importance weightings combined with expert reliability weightings within a mineral system component framework to produce national-scale mineral potential assessments for Australian iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) mineral systems.

Notes

Purpose
Maps showing the potential for iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) mineral systems in Australia. An uncertainty map is provided in conjunction with the mineral potential maps that represents the availability of data coverage over Australia for the selected combination of input maps. The input maps for each mineral potential map are provided along with an assessment criteria table which contains information on how the maps relate to the mineral system and details on their generation.
