      Source Data History: Exploration Licence boundaries were sourced from the official Mining Register licence documents. Licence boundaries are legally defined to follow lines of latitude and longitude. The register has existed since 1930. Processing Steps: Coordinates entered by keyboard from licence documents. Linework cleaned to remove duplicate arcs. Data adjusted for accurate state border and coastline. Where appropriate cadastral parcels removed from licence polygons. Associated attribute data also captured from licence documents. Tenements are legally defined in AGD66
      Positional accuracy:Most boundary locations are constructed from lines of latitude and longitude, hence are scale independent. The accuracy of other boundaries is dependent upon the source, eg. state border, coastline, cadastre.
      Attribute accuracy:Associated attribute information is 99% complete and derived from a daily refresh of Tenement Management System (TMS) data extract. Manual validation checks are performed periodically.
      Logical consistency:The dataset contains no overshoots, undershoots or duplicate lines. All polygons representing licences contain only one label.
      Completeness:Spatial data is 90% complete. Associated attribute data is 99% complete.
