Western Australia unveils new digital bedrock map to attract miners

[1] The Western Australian state government has unveiled a new digital bedrock map that captures all the bedrock under the land’s surface in a bid to attract mining in the area.

[2] The map has been made possible through 10 years of geological survey by the government, and it is meant to provide more accurate and detailed information to geologists.

[3]  The new digital map has a scale of 1:500,000 and it is a set of themed layers that provide more details than a standalone map.
