Mineral exploration release areas
Following amendments to the Mining Act 1971 that came into force in July 2011, expired, partially surrendered, surrendered or cancelled exploration licence areas may be released for application. A new map layer in SARIG shows pending mineral release exploration areas (ERAs).
State Geophysical Images can now be downloaded in ERS format as well as TIFF.
To access right click the image map layer, select the download button. Click OK to accept DMITRE's Spatial Data Terms and Conditions, choose required format (TIFF or ERS) and click download.
The South Australian Resources Information Geoserver (SARIG) has been totally redeveloped to provide an easy to use browser independent interface that has retained and built upon the best features of previous SARIG releases.
