This map is based on information compiled from publicly available sources on 600 Australian gold deposits, including world-class and large deposits. Compilation of data is ongoing. Deposit size is the total tonnage of gold that is, or was, in a deposit as estimated by Geoscience Australia. Resources are derived by summing the aggregate production and the current remaining resources.

Geological regions defined here are based on Geoscience Australia's Geological Regions Boundaries arcinfo coverage. Preliminary resources for some deposits are assigned to the closest region. Gold deposit location information used in this map is derived from Geoscience Australia's OZMIN database for mineral deposits
