Company drillhole and surface geochemistry data has been released on the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety’s .
The data has been collected and imported into the drillholes database from open-file reports submitted annually by mineral explorers on their exploration projects under Western Australian legislation. After a period of confidentiality, the exploration reports and data are made available to the public.
The required files can be found under the Datasets [GDA94] tab > Statewide spatial datasets – [GDA1994] > Company Drillhole and Surface Geochemistry Database.
Users can choose which SQL Instance they are going to use; the data is compatible with most recent versions.
Tables include Collar, Surface Sample, Geochemistry, Geology, Geophysics, Magsus, Survey and more. A database can be created from all the available tables or just the ones users wish to use.
New geochemistry tables are available, including two downhole flat assay tables:
- a) A summary table with one row containing max ppm for 180+ analytes for each hole.
- b) A table with one row containing max ppm for 180+ analytes for every measurement down each drillhole and for surface geochemistry a table with one row containing the max ppm for 180+ analytes for each surface sample.
