This address was presented at the 2008 Australian Nickel Conference held in Perth, 22-23 October 2008. Geoscience Australia has released a detailed, web-based colour map (at 1:5 000 000 and 1:10 000 000 scales) 'Australian Proterozoic Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events (Sheets 1 and 2)'. This new map is the third and final component of the Proterozoic magmatic event series that show, for the first time, the geographic extent and age relationships of Proterozoic mafic and ultramafic rocks, and associated mineral deposits throughout the continent. The maps (`Proterozoic mafic-ultramafic magmatic events of Western Australia' and 'A Synthesis of Australian Proterozoic Mafic-Ultramafic Magmatic Events. Part 2: Northern Territory and South Australia') were produced in close collaboration with the State and Northern Territory geological surveys.
