About this layer
Mineral occurrence records show places where particular minerals have been reported or investigated. Check the mineral named in each record: an occurrence is not necessarily gold, a working mine or a place open to detecting.
What it is for
Compare nearby records with geology and terrain. Open available map details to see what was recorded at a location.
Limits
A record is a starting point for research. It does not show how much material remains, or whether you can access the land.
Where it works in Australia.
