Mapping of outcrop geology on Laverton SH51-2 1:250 000 map sheet in the Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia, undertaken
1989-95 by Duggan MB, Williams PR, Jagodzinski EA, Rattenbury M, Champion D, Currie KL, Blake DH, Stewart AJ, Bastrakova I
and J.Martyn and Associates, as part of the National Geoscience Mapping Accord (NGMA). Briefly, mapping consists of geological
boundaries/units, faults, folds, veins, dykes, joints, linears, marker beds, trends, structural measurements, and mineral
deposits.

Title Laverton 1:250 000 outcrop geology dataset - Second edition (Version 2)
Geological and geophysical themes were generated from field observations (1989-1995) and interpretation using aerial photographs
(1:25 000 colour). Mineral deposit locations and information are largely sourced from the MINEDEX database (2000) maintained
by GSWA. Topographic themes have been provided by AUSLIG and DOLA with agreement that public release of any topographic data
by AGSO will be in non digital form only. Some amendments to the topographic data have been made by the authors. Lineage of
topographic data, prior to receipt from AUSLIG and DOLA, is uncertain. Maps were compiled from unrectified photo overlays
onto topographic bases supplied by AUSLIG and DOLA (see notes on topographic data above). Drainage and, where necessary, other
topographic features (eg fence lines) were used for spatial control of the geological data. Compilations were digitally captured
either by hand or automatically by scanning and vectorising procedures. Point data with database origins have been located
largely by non-differential GPS. Some detail may have been generalised, repositioned, or omitted from the primary data for
cartographic purposes.
