The 18-month pilot project was developed as part of Geoscience Australia\u2019s Exploring for the Future Program (2016\u20132024) using a human-centred design approach in which user needs are forefront considerations. Interviews and testing with users found that a simple and plain-language experience that provided packaged information with channels to further research is the preferred design. Curated information and data from across Geoscience Australia help users make decisions and refine their research approach quickly and confidently. \n\nGeoscience Australia\u2019s Exploring for the Future program provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. By gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and knowledge, we are building a national picture of Australia\u2019s geology and resource potential. This leads to a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment for the benefit of all Australians. This includes supporting Australia\u2019s transition to net zero emissions, strong, sustainable resources and agriculture sectors, and economic opportunities and social benefits for Australia\u2019s regional and remote communities. The Exploring for the Future program, which commenced in 2016, is an eight year, $225m investment by the Australian Government. \n\nIn the first iteration of GeoInsight, products were selected for minerals, energy, water and complementary information from Geoscience Australia\u2019s Data Discovery Portal and Data and Publications Catalogue. These products were examined to (1) gauge the relevance of the information they contain for non-geoscientists and (2) determine how best to deliver this information for effective use by non-technical audiences. \n\nThis record documents the methodology used to summarise mineral commodities for GeoInsight. The method was devised to provide a straightforward snapshot of mineral production at the time of publication and future production/extraction potential based on Geoscience Australia datasets extrapolated to the regional scale across Australia. \n\nThe initial developmental stage has been dedicated to producing a workable foundation intended to evolve and incorporate more nuanced content centred on user feedback. Initial stages focused on extraction of data from databases across the widest possible breadth of commodities which could be supported by existing workflows and automation. A recommendation for future development is to incorporate the more nuanced information available from Geoscience Australia into future iterations of the GeoInsight platform. A wide range of information related to mineral potential is delivered by Geoscience Australia, very little of which is captured in the current version of GeoInsight. \n\nAny updates to the methodology used in GeoInsight will be accompanied by updates to this document, including a change log.", "num_resources": 1, "num_tags": 10, "organization": {"id": "91f054ec-d0c3-4d42-a89a-5daa2c7a6818", "name": "geoscience-australia-data", "title": "Geoscience Australia Data", "type": "organization", "description": "Harvester for Geoscience Australia Data", "image_url": "", "created": "2025-06-23T12:29:08.024111", "is_organization": true, "approval_status": "approved", "state": "active"}, "original_harvest_source": {"site_url": "https://ecat.ga.gov.au", "href": "https://ecat.ga.gov.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/csw/dataset/accessible-mining-and-minerals-information-a-methodology-for-the-geoinsight-pilot", "title": "Geoscience Australia"}, "owner_org": "91f054ec-d0c3-4d42-a89a-5daa2c7a6818", "private": false, "promotion_level": "0", "spatial": "{\"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [[[112.0, -44.0], [154.0, -44.0], [154.0, -9.0], [112.0, -9.0], [112.0, -44.0]]]}", "spatial_coverage": "{\"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [[[112.0, -44.0], [154.0, -44.0], [154.0, -9.0], [112.0, -9.0], [112.0, -44.0]]]}", "state": "active", "temporal_coverage_from": "2024-07-25 06:53:35", "title": "Accessible mining and minerals information: A methodology for the GeoInsight pilot", "type": "dataset", "unpublished": false, "url": null, "version": null, "extras": [{"key": "harvest_object_id", "value": "a24aa491-4ee1-4739-8921-8d797c14ee53"}, {"key": "harvest_source_id", "value": "00080910-39e7-408f-882c-e6e1eb6baadb"}, {"key": "harvest_source_title", "value": "Geoscience Australia"}], "resources": [{"cache_last_updated": null, "cache_url": null, "created": "2025-10-16T10:36:40.339787", "datastore_active": false, "datastore_contains_all_records_of_source_file": false, "description": "Download the Record (pdf) [1.1 MB]", "format": "PDF", "hash": "", "id": "4bc9633e-6d58-4599-8eff-4fb14cfaa8b0", "last_modified": null, "metadata_modified": "2025-10-16T10:36:40.324810", "mimetype": null, "mimetype_inner": null, "name": "Download the Record (pdf) [1.1 MB]", "package_id": "ec29eb6c-9745-4b77-beec-f5c6f624c61b", "position": 0, "resource_locator_function": "", "resource_locator_protocol": "WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link", "resource_type": null, "size": null, "state": "active", "url": "https://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/149247/149247_00_0.pdf", "url_type": null, "zip_extract": false}], "tags": [{"display_name": "EFTF \u2013 Exploring for the Future", "id": "909d5c1c-3ed4-40c5-abcd-3fe164de1b08", "name": "EFTF \u2013 Exploring for the Future", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Enhanced Data Delivery", "id": "1cfff109-86c8-4ebb-b584-7fc9090d9721", "name": "Enhanced Data Delivery", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Information extraction and fusion", "id": "fbd03a7e-d155-4ac1-98ae-b2f1f43c5907", "name": "Information extraction and fusion", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Minerals", "id": "68977672-379f-44a4-a797-1cb018494d31", "name": "Minerals", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Mining", "id": "e2027265-9074-4cb2-bf58-aeaa6fa0a5ab", "name": "Mining", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Published_External", "id": "5178775c-8044-4b7f-881f-5428a4e2d925", "name": "Published_External", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "Resource geoscience", "id": "61eaa7d5-a1ca-4e5a-a986-2e76a2a1e5d8", "name": "Resource geoscience", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "critical minerals", "id": "89154b64-347b-4776-bba2-aa19c451ee24", "name": "critical minerals", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "mineral potential", "id": "9a52ef51-6c15-428b-a3cf-c1d5bf858b0f", "name": "mineral potential", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}, {"display_name": "strategic materials", "id": "2bc948c6-78c4-4278-831e-2645a15b3eb7", "name": "strategic materials", "state": "active", "vocabulary_id": null}], "groups": [], "relationships_as_subject": [], "relationships_as_object": []}}
