GSWA’s Mineral Systems Atlas is an interactive GIS-based platform that collates and delivers map-based geoscience data layers specifically relevant to understanding and exploring for mineral deposits in Western Australia (www.dmirs.wa.gov.au/mineralsystemsatlas).
Record 2022/14 describes a mineral system analysis of the komatiite-hosted Ni–Cu–PGE mineral system, leading to the definition of mappable proxies that inform the GIS map layers featured in the Mineral Systems Atlas. Komatiite-hosted Ni–Cu–PGE deposits are economically important to Western Australia, with the state hosting several world-class examples including Kambalda and Mount Keith.
