The project generation phase of mineral exploration requires diverse types of geoscience information to identify prospective areas of the target commodity and thereby reduce search areas and exploration risk. Much of this geoscience information is typically sourced from government organisations such as geological surveys and, in a globally-connected internet world, ideally needs to be findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable (the FAIR Principles https://www.ands.org.au/working-with-data/the-fair-data-principles).The accessibility of New Zealand geoscience information has improved significantly for explorers. In the last decade, there has been an explosion of exploration-relevant datasets becoming available in many parts of New Zealand. These include high resolution airborne geophysical surveys (magnetics radiometrics gravity electromagnetics) covering a third of the country (Figure 1). In New Zealand, GNS Science is the key provider of mineral-relevant geoscience information such as geological maps and map datasets, rock and mineral properties data, earth resource information, geophysical datasets, and geological interpretations. These are managed and developed in an applied research framework for end users complemented by other data providers such as New Zealand Petroleum & Minerals (NZP&M). CITATION: Rattenbury, M S, 2019.
