Product description:Introduction Growth in the resources industry sector is predicated on the availability of high quality pre–competitive geoscience data in order to attract new mineral and hydrocarbon exploration to the State. During the last two decades GeoScience Victoria (GSV) has completed world class 2D surface geological mapping throughout Victoria. In addition, the State has been comprehensively covered by regional scale airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys as well as ground gravity surveys. Together with two new regional seismic traverses across the Palaeozoic in central and Western Victoria and seismic survey coverage in the younger basins, these datasets collectively allow for interpretation at depth of the rock types which are seen at the surface. The Rediscover Victoria Initiative, and the 3D Victoria 3D Geological Modelling Project within it, were designed to build upon this incredibly valuable dataset and to provide explorers and resource managers alike with a world–class 3D geological dataset. This model can be used to analyse resource potential, predict the location of undiscovered accumulations and allow the development of a 4 dimensional resource management framework for the State’s basin contained energy and water resources. This report outlines the philosophy, scope and workfl ows used to generate these 3D models. The implications of the modelling for our understanding of the State’s geology and the formation of some of its mineral and energy systems is discussed. A number of case studies are also presented which highlight ways that third parties, such as exploration companies, can consume the results of the project and use them internally to predict the location of undiscovered resource systems.
