Images and grids of final data from the regional airborne magnetic and radiometric survey at 400 m line spacing that was completed in December 2011 will be available from the GSWA website on the Regional Geophysical Surveys page. Point-located ('vector') data and grids from this survey can be purchased on disk from Geoscience Australia or downloaded free of charge from the Geophysical Archive Data Delivery System (GADDS).

Training in GSWA databases and online systems
You are invited to attend a free training session hosted by the Department of Mines and Petroleum to demonstrate current online systems. This is your opportunity to try these services for yourself and chat with the staff who create and manage them.
The format is an interactive presentation which includes navigating the DMP website, searching for publications, finding mineral deposits using MINEDEX, finding digital datasets using the Data and Software Centre, open file mineral exploration reports using WAMEX, and bringing it all together with the interactive map viewer (GeoVIEW.WA). GeoMap.WA, a new GIS viewer for Windows, will also be demonstrated.
The morning sessions will be a high-level fast demonstration and overview of the use of all the programs. At the afternoon sessions, participants will be able to practise using the programs with their own actual examples and get some one-on-one advice about individual issues. You can attend one or both sessions.
