Preliminary solid geology interpretation of the southern Arunta Region

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

This dataset represents a preliminary basement solid geology interpretation undertaken for the purpose of producing an iron oxide-copper-gold mineral system assessment in the southern Arunta Region. The area covered includes parts of the Warumpi and Aileron provinces which occur in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. The interpretation was developed from existing published solid geology datasets, 1:1 000 000 and 1:250 000 maps of surface geology, and new interpretation of magnetic and gravity data. The solid geology map is intended to represent basement lithology, which in most cases consists of units older than the Neoproterozoic. This dataset is a preliminary interpretation and is solely intended to be used as a supporting dataset for the assessment of the potential for iron oxide-copper-gold systems in the southern Arunta Region.
