Mineral occurrences, including operating and abandoned mines, located in Tasmania, with summary mineral occurrence data, derived from the Mineral Occurrence Database, which is a component of the Tasmanian Information on Geoscience and Exploration Resources (TIGER) system; administered by Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT). Mineral occurrences include operating and abandoned mines, prospects, mapped occurrences and mineral fields or mineralised areas. Mineral occurrences are shown subdivided by commodity type, which largely corresponds to the mineral categories defined in the Mineral Resources Development Act 1995; Fuel Minerals, including geothermal (Categories 2, 4 and 6), Construction Minerals (Category 3), Industrial minerals (Category 5) and metallic minerals (Category 1). Alluvial, placer and man-made (tailings dam) occurrences are shown separately (commodities are mineral Categories 1 and 5) and occurrences (generally abandoned mine workings) where there are no records of the commodity of interest, are shown as unknown. The summary Mineral Occurrence data includes: the Mineral occurrence name (note that an occurrence may have multiple names or aliases), the commodity type (as defined above), the nature of the occurrence (e.g., mine or prospect, mineralised area), the commodity or commodities present, the geological unit that hosts the occurrence and the positional accuracy of the record. A Details field provides a link to a Mineral Occurrence Details page where further information, including references and public domain resource figures, may be available.
