South Australia Geology
South Australia rock units in the survey's own colours, with the gold-controlling faults.
What it shows
Detailed 1:100,000 surface geology for South Australia, from South Australia's Department for Energy and Mining, through its SARIG portal, painted in the survey's own per-unit colours. The coloured areas are rock units (lithology). The lines are the mapped structures that matter for gold: faults, shear zones, fold axes and dykes. Read geology first, as it shows why gold sits where it does: faults are where fluids moved and gold dropped, and the boundaries between rock types often mark the same lines. Tap a unit for its name, lithology and age, or a line for the structure type. Use it to follow a favourable rock or a fault in the direction it runs, into new ground.
