The Mineral Systems Atlas is an interactive platform that provides customised data to help with understanding and exploring for Western Australian mineral deposits. It uses a Mineral Systems Analysis approach, based on carefully selected Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) and external geoscience data.
Users can combine different map layers, learn how they were created, and export them to use in their own GIS platforms. The Atlas is regularly updated to offer the latest information wherever possible.
The Mineral Systems Atlas is an online GIS-based Atlas that lets users view, explore, and map different geoscience and mineralisation-related data. Users can create and print custom geological maps at specific scales and include other mineral and exploration data.
Note: The Mineral Systems Atlas will run in web browsers that support HTML5 and has the same look and feel as GSWA’s GeoVIEW.WA.
Advanced functionality
Download Individual Mineral Systems – All layers associated with any mineral system are available as packages to download in ArcGIS and MapInfo file formats.
Same area in GeoVIEW.WA – Opens approximately the same viewing extent of the Atlas in GeoVIEW.WA, allowing users to operate both systems at the same time.
Upload Data – Users can upload their own data in the following formats: .csv, .xlsx, .kml, .shp, .gpx, or a .zip containing a FileGDB, or shapefiles.
Refine Data – Provides search and filter options to further interrogate layers of interest.
Please refer to the 'What’s New?' button in the Atlas to find a summary of the latest changes.
