Role of GSNSWThe Geological Survey of NSW collects and manages geological, geophysical, geochemical and geospatial data…
to inform the government, resource industry and the community about the state's geology, and mineral, coal, petroleum and renewable energy resources….
to facilitate the safe and sustainable development of NSW mineral and energy resources for the benefit of all NSW citizens.

ARRC LinkageTectonic Evolution of the Lachlan Orogen
• Collect new data on SE Australian mineral systems– Victorian Cambrian mineral systems– NSW Ordovician porphyry – Silurian-Devonian mineral systems
• Use this new data for– Evaluation of Lachlan tectonic models– Development of ore fertility models
• Deliverables– Plate tectonic models incorporating ore
genesis– Prospectivity analysis– New geochemical, geochronological and
mineral chemistry data
