The data contains strandlines (lines) of Heavy Mineral Sand mineralisation. See also related dataset MINSAND1M_POLY. Data is derived from various exploration company sources, and has related data in the Minerals and Petroleum sites database (VicMine = minerals.minsite). SITEID_MS can be used to join tables.

This dataset contains primary geological data, namely boundary types separating rock units. The linear features in this dataset are only comprised of geological boundaries and faults. The data have been collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria. The dataset is accompanied by another dataset representing structural lines.

This dataset contains primary geological data, namely boundary types separating rock units. Other geological features (e.g. fault or dyke) are included where the feature forms a boundary to rock units. This layer has been superseded by the Seamless Geology layers for Faults - SG_SHEAR_DISPLACE_STRUC_250K Contacts - SG_GEOL_UNIT_CONTACT_250K The data have been collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria. The dataset is accompanied by other datasets representing structural lines, miscellaneous lines, miscellaneous polygons, metamorphism, and placer deposits.

The dataset displays areas identified by the Geological Survey of Victoria to be of known future interest to the extractive minerals industry. Areas are based on suitable geological occurrence and also take into account existing local government planning schemes. They are intended to provide a guide to local government in developing future planning policy. This dataset was updated in October 2023 to exclude areas where planning controls prohibit extractive industries as at late 2022. The dataset was updated in May 2024 to match the cadastral boundaries where necessary that were updated as part of the Digital Cadastre Modernisation project.

The point and polygon layers within this geodatabase represent locations of mineral occurrences, mines, mining and mineral districts and sites of active mineral exploration within or near the Department of the Interior (DOI) Sagebrush Focal Areas in Montana, Wyoming and Utah, central Idaho, and the Oregon-Nevada-Idaho border area. The data were compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Mineral Deposit Database project (USMIN) to provide mineral resource information for use in the USGS Sagebrush Mineral Resource Assessment (SaMiRA). This assessment was conducted for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and evaluated the mineral resource potential of approximately 10 million acres of Federal lands identified as areas of high-quality sagebrush habitat. The spatial extent of the USMIN mineral resource data includes BLM lands proposed for withdrawal from mineral entry as well as a 25 km buffer beyond the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) townships containing these areas. This extent allowed for a thorough examination of the data and assured that any significant mineral occurrence, mine, or exploration area within or adjacent to BLM’s proposed withdrawal areas was considered in the mineral resource assessment. The mineral resource data were compiled as GIS layers including: 1) mine symbols shown on USGS topographic maps; 2) mine sites; 3) active mineral exploration sites; 4) mineral occurrences; 5) mining and mineral districts; and 6) production and resource data for mines and mineral deposits.
