Web Based Mapping of Australia's Nickel Sulphide Metallogenic Provinces: Resources and Potential

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

Presented at the Society of Economic Geologists (SEG) 2004: Predictive Mineral Discovery Under Cover Conference, Perth, September 2004. The paper discusses a web-based information and mapping system for defining nickel sulphide metallogenic and prospective provinces. The system contains information on regional geology, mineral occurrences and deposits, resources, and age of mineralisation for most Precambrian nickel sulphide deposits. The three basic criteria used to delineate the metallogenic provinces are: same style of mineral system, similar age, and spatial contiguity of geology
