Explore Victoria Online - GeoVic

Minerals and Petroleum Division's (M&P) web mapping application allows users to search M&P’s geospatial databases and display the results as maps or tables. Datasets that can be viewed and interrogated include mineral, petroleum and extractive industries tenements, land-use and airborne geophysical survey boundaries, gravity, magnetic and radiometric images, borehole & well data, surface geochemistry results, mines and mineral occurrences, and geological maps and interpretations at various scales. This application will eventually provide M&P's clients with on-line access to all Minerals & Petroleum services and databases to help them carry out their business.
