To assist explorers, Geoscience Australia (GA) has compiled a fact sheet (2008) of products produced by GA related to those commodities (nickel, copper, cobalt, chromium, platinum-group elements, titanium, vanadium) associated with Precambrian mafic-ultramafic rocks in Australia. These products include national review publications (e.g., Nickel sulphide deposits in Australia), reports of metallogenic province studies (Kimberleys, Pilbara, Arunta, Gawler), and various maps, PowerPoint presentations, and digital datasets. One of the new items listed is the web-based colour map `Australian Proterozoic Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events (Sheets 1 and 2)'. This map shows for the first time, the geographic extent and age relationships of Proterozoic mafic and ultramafic rocks, and associated mineral deposits throughout the continent. Most products can be downloaded free through the www links provided on the fact sheet.
