Improved resource evaluation using geoscientific information systems – a pilot study

Summary

AMIRA Project P383 – MERIWA Project M194A, entitled “Improved Resource Evaluation Using Geoscientific Information Systems (GIS) – A Pilot Study” investigated the potential use of GIS as a tool for regional-scale mineral exploration using conventional geological map data.

This report focuses on the construction of the digital databases, the development of resource assessment methods suitable for the Yilgam Block, and the construction of prospectivity maps for the Murchison Province, Kalgoorlie Terrane, and Southern Cross greenstone belt.
