This map is based on information compiled from publicly available sources on 82 Australian magnetite-type iron ore deposits. Compilation of data is ongoing, deposit size is the total tonnage of in situ iron resources in a deposit. For Peko (NT) and Osborne (QLD), resources are in the tailings.

In situ resources for each geoliogical region represent aggregates of resources in deposits located in that region. It includes deposits near vicinity of the region where such deposits are of the same age or where the region extends beyond shown boudaries under cover.

Geological regions defined here are based on Geoscience Australia's Geological Regions Boundaires dataset. Iron ore deposit location information used in this map is derives from Geoscience Australia's OZMIN database for mineral deposits.
