User's guide to the OZMIN mineral deposits database

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

OZMIN is a new mineral deposits database which has been developed in AGSO for use in the National Geoscience Mapping Accord (NGMA) and in national metallogenic research. OZMIN has been structured so that the attribute data can be retrieved and analysed in relation to spatial data contained in a geographic information system (GIS). It utilises the Oracle relational database management system. This Record provides the necessary documentation for users to access and enter data specific to mineral deposits, prospects, and occurrences; their host rocks; and important features of their geological setting. The Record explains the relationship of OZMIN to other AGSO relational databases, the attributes used in the database and their legal values. It also describes the various screen forms used in the database and provides information on those corporate authority tables commonly accessed by OZMIN.
