In situ resources for each geological region represent aggregates of resources in deposits located in that region. It includes deposits in near vicinity of the region where such deposits are of the same age or where the region extends beyond shown boundaries under cover.

AUSTRALIAN IN SITUIRON ORE RESOURCES

(Sheet 2: Magnetite)2012 EDITION

This map is based on information compiled from publicly available sources on82 Australian magnetite-type iron ore deposits. Compilation of data is ongoing.Deposit size is the total tonnage of in situ iron resources in a deposit. For Peko(NT) and Osborne (QLD), resources are in the tailings.In situ resources for each geological region represent aggregates of resourcesin deposits located in that region. It includes deposits in near vicinity of theregion where such deposits are of the same age or where the region extendsbeyond shown boundaries under cover. Geological regions defined here arebased on Geoscience Australia’s Geological Regions Boundaries dataset. Ironore deposit location information used in this map is derived from GeoscienceAustralia’s OZMIN database for mineral deposits, available at:http://www.ga.gov.au/meta/ANZCW0703003393.html
