Australia

What we hold: 1.5 million mapped geological units, 3.7 million structural features, 470,000 deposits and occurrences and 670,000 tenure records, from the Geological Survey of Queensland and the Geological Survey of New South Wales.

Australia: open ground, mining titles and open blocks ranked by recorded endowment, as published. The ranking screens the recorded deposit record; it is not modelled prospectivity.

Open ground

62.3%

of 7.6 million km² assessed carries no live title and no recorded exclusion. A dated snapshot: a pegging decision needs a live register query on the day.

Counting only mineral titles, 67.1% is open for a new mineral title, because a petroleum title does not bar a mineral one.
