Abstract The Mineral Potential web service provides access to digital datasets used in the assessment of mineral potential in Australia. The service includes maps showing the potential for carbonatite-related rare earth element mineral systems in Australia. Maps showing the potential for carbonatite-related rare earth element (REE) mineral systems in Australia. Model 1 integrates three components: sources of metals, energy drivers, and lithospheric architecture. Supporting datasets including the input maps used to generate the mineral potential maps, an assessment criteria table that contains information on the map creation, and data uncertainty maps are available here Uncertainty Maps. The data uncertainty values range between 0 and 1, with higher uncertainty values being located in areas where more input maps are missing data or have unknown values. Map images provided in the extended abstract have the same colour ramp and equalised histogram stretch, plus a gamma correction of 0.5 not present in the web map service maps, which was applied using Esri ArcGIS Pro software. The extended abstract is avalable here Alkaline Rocks Atlas Legend

The service includes maps showing the potential for carbonatite-related rare earth element mineral systems in Australia. Maps showing the potential for carbonatite-related rare earth element (REE) mineral systems in Australia. Model 2 integrates four components: sources of metals, energy drivers, lithospheric architecture, and ore deposition. Supporting datasets including the input maps used to generate the mineral potential maps, an assessment criteria table that contains information on the map creation, and data uncertainty maps are available here Uncertainty Maps. The data uncertainty values range between 0 and 1, with higher uncertainty values being located in areas where more input maps are missing data or have unknown values.
