Regolith information derived from field mapping. Includes information on regolith materials, landforms, bedrock lithology, geomorphological processes and environmental hazards for particular field sites.

Contains mostly licences from 1860 to 1930 Was digitized to help in identifying land where native title claims could be rejected.

Regions showing the extent of mineral Retention Licences currently lodged with Earth Resources Regulations. The boundaries are derived from a combination of entering graticular boundaries (exact MGA co-ordinates) and digitizing along areas of land status (Earth Resources version of plm25) which are unable to be mined or explored. Refer to the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act (MRSDA) 1990 for more detail.

Exploration Graticules Polygons for Zone 54 are used as the main boundaries for Exploration Licences since 1973 - GDA94 - Effective 1st July 2005

This layer 'Aboriginal Community Boundaries' will be superceded by 'VAC100' layer when a geographic version is available. Aboriginal Community Boundaries. Probably received from the National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT). Dja Dja Wrung and Lakes Entrance (LAKES E.) communities are inactive.

Exploration Graticules are used as the main boundaries for Exploration Licences since 1973 - AGD66 - Expires 30th June 2005

The data contains linear geological structure data not included in GEOL - this includes anticlines, synclines and bedding form surfaces. The data have been collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria. The dataset is accompanied by other datasets representing geology outcrop and boundaries, miscellaneous lines and points, miscellaneous polygons, metamorphism, and placer deposits.

The data contains sub-surface geological rock units. Multiple datasets may exist over some tiles, numbered as SGEOLn. The data have been collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria. The dataset is accompanied by other datasets representing geology outcrop and boundaries, structural lines, miscellaneous lines and points, miscellaneous polygons, metamorphism, and placer deposits.

Geological structural measurements taken by Geological Survey of Victoria. This is the cartographically positioned points.

Regions showing the extent of Mining Licences currently lodged with Earth Resources Regulations. The boundaries are derived from a combination of entering graticular boundaries (exact AMG co-ordinates) and digitizing along areas of land status (Earth Resources version of landmmt100) which are unable to be mined or explored. Refer to the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act (MRSDA) 1990 for more detail. (MIN is included in ML) NOTE: For GeoVic, "Operating Gold Mines" are a subset of this dataset where during the current financial year the tenement recorded production in excess of 100 kg Au, and/or are currently at an advanced stage of resource development with a target production rate of at least 100kg Au per year.
