The data comes from Geoscience Australia (GA), the agency charged with
collecting and publishing geoscientific data. GA has for many years
collected all mining surveys conducted in Australia under legislation
that insists those issued exploration licenses lodge a copy of their
data with that agency, under a license that allows open access and
re-use. That requirement saw GA accumulate millions of computer tapes
and, over the last few years, conduct a massive re-platforming effort
to migrate data to larger, faster and more modern media.
