Shallow Workings Polygons and Lines for Gold Mining at 1:100,000 Scale

Shallow Workings usually for Gold Mining Operations is a geospatial dataset from Australia's Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action. It provides polygon and line features representing mining-related shallow workings at a 1:100,000 scale. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-09.

Use Cases

• Map the spatial extent of shallow gold mining workings based on polygon features.
• Analyze the linear infrastructure associated with mining operations based on line features.
• Assess land-use change and environmental impact from mining activities based on geospatial data.
• Integrate mining site data with other environmental datasets for regional planning.

Strengths

• Data is provided at a 1:100,000 scale, offering a consistent level of detail.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including SHP, GDB, WMS, and WFS.
• Published under a CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for flexible reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
