Australian Salt Lakes Review with Resource Potential Maps

Geoscience Australia Data published a report reviewing publicly available information on Australian salt lakes as potential sources of strategic minerals. The report is accompanied by four maps indicating lakes with the highest potential for lithium, boron, potash, and calcrete-hosted uranium. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-25.

Use Cases

• Identify regions with high lithium potential based on the salt lake review and maps.
• Assess boron resource prospects using the geospatial data on Australian salt lakes.
• Evaluate potash extraction opportunities from saline lake systems described in the report.
• Map calcrete-hosted uranium potential using the provided geological information.

Strengths

• Report includes four specific maps for lithium, boron, potash, and uranium potential.
• Focus on Australian salt lakes, a region with limited public domain knowledge on this topic.
• Data originates from Geoscience Australia Data, an authoritative government organization.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au.
