INTRODUCTION This data catalogue has been compiled for use by members of the Central Gawler Gold Sub Project; a collaborative project set up between the Department of Primary Industries and Resources South Australia (PIRSA), Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Environments and Mineral Exploration (CRC LEME), at both the University of Adelaide and CSIRO, Perth. The following compilation forms the basis of a continuing data location and stocktaking exercise. It is hoped that project members will be able to help identify omissions and contribute new information on relevant data and reference material. 2. DATA CATALOGUING PROCEDURE Several steps were taken in the making of this data catalogue. Initially data were collected from known digital records at PIRSA and GA. Much of the data were sourced from PIRSA’s South Australia – Gawler Craton GIS dataset. Additional information was gathered from PIRSA and Geoscience Australia’s corporate databases and PIRSA’s open file records. Information on non- digital
