This is the spatial data for the EXACT (EXploration ACTivity) database. The EXACT database contains information on exploration activities described in open file mineral exploration reports (WAMEX online) for specific project areas that were studied for their mineral prospectivity by Geological Survey of WA geologists. The project areas were Arunta - Musgrave, Bangemall Basin, Canning, Earaheedy, East Kimberley, East Pilbara, Gascoyne, Mid West coast, North Eastern Goldfields, North Kimberley, North Murchison, Paterson, Peak Hill, South West, West Hamersley, West Kimberley, West Pilbara. The highest A No in the database is A69999. The final update was in 2009 when work on it was terminated.

This dataset is a 1:50 000 geological map sheet index for available geological maps produced by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA).

This dataset is a 1:250 000 map sheet index for available geological maps produced by the Geological Survey of Western Australia.

Mineral exploration reports (WAMEX online) This is the spatial data for the public, open file, reports contained in the WAMEX database. The WAMEX (WA Mineral EXploration) database contains the statutory mineral exploration reports submitted by companies to the Department as part of their reporting commitments on mining leases.

This dataset is a 1:1 000 000 geological map sheet index for available surface geological maps produced by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA).

This dataset is a 1:100 000 geological map sheet index for available surface geological maps and State interpreted bedrock geology produced by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA).

The Western Australian Special Prospecting Authority with Acreage Option (WAPSPAAO) digital data set contains current and pending Petroleum Act Special Prospecting Authorities with Acreage Options (SPAAOs) and applications pertinent to the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources Act 1967. This dataset was formally known as WA Petroleum Special Prospecting Authorities (DMP-014)

The Digital Geologic-GIS Map of Whitman Mission National Historic Site and Vicinity, Washington and Oregon is composed of GIS data layers and GIS tables, and is available in the following GRI-supported GIS data formats: 1.) a 10.1 file geodatabase (whmi_geology.gdb), a 2.) Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) geopackage, and 3.) 2.2 KMZ/KML file for use in Google Earth, however, this format version of the map is limited in data layers presented and in access to GRI ancillary table information. The file geodatabase format is supported with a 1.) ArcGIS Pro map file (.mapx) file (whmi_geology.mapx) and individual Pro layer (.lyrx) files (for each GIS data layer), as well as with a 2.) 10.1 ArcMap (.mxd) map document (whmi_geology.mxd) and individual 10.1 layer (.lyr) files (for each GIS data layer). The OGC geopackage is supported with a QGIS project (.qgz) file. Upon request, the GIS data is also available in ESRI 10.1 shapefile format. Contact Stephanie O'Meara (see contact information below) to acquire the GIS data in these GIS data formats. In addition to the GIS data and supporting GIS files, three additional files comprise a GRI digital geologic-GIS dataset or map: 1.) this file (whmi_geology_gis_readme.pdf), 2.) the GRI ancillary map information document (.pdf) file (whmi_geology.pdf) which contains geologic unit descriptions, as well as other ancillary map information and graphics from the source map(s) used by the GRI in the production of the GRI digital geologic-GIS data for the park, and 3.) a user-friendly FAQ PDF version of the metadata (whmi_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Please read the whmi_geology_gis_readme.pdf for information pertaining to the proper extraction of the GIS data and other map files. Google Earth software is available for free at: https://www.google.com/earth/versions/. QGIS software is available for free at: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/. Users are encouraged to only use the Google Earth data for basic visualization, and to use the GIS data for any type of data analysis or investigation. The data were completed as a component of the Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) program, a National Park Service (NPS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Division funded program that is administered by the NPS Geologic Resources Division (GRD).

Source geologic maps and data used to complete this GRI digital dataset were provided by the following: Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources. Detailed information concerning the sources used and their contribution the GRI product are listed in the Source Citation section(s) of this metadata record (whmi_geology_metadata.txt or whmi_geology_metadata_faq.pdf). Users of this data are cautioned about the locational accuracy of features within this dataset. Based on the source map scale of 1:24,000 and United States National Map Accuracy Standards features are within (horizontally) 12.2 meters or 40 feet of their actual location as presented by this dataset. Users of this data should thus not assume the location of features is exactly where they are portrayed in Google Earth, ArcGIS, QGIS or other software used to display this dataset. All GIS and ancillary tables were produced as per the NPS GRI Geology-GIS Geodatabase Data Model v. 2.3. (available at: https://www.nps.gov/articles/gri-geodatabase-model.htm).
