The Australian nickel industry in 2007 is experiencing a `boom phase' with spiralling metal prices to record levels of US$54,200 per tonne (16th of May 2007) surpassing the previous highest price of $US23,900/t reached in 1988. As a consequence exploration expenditures and activities related to mafic-ultramafic rocks are near all-time highs. To assist explorers, Geoscience Australia (GA) has compiled a fact sheet (2007) of products produced by GA related to those commodities (nickel, copper, cobalt, chromium, platinum-group elements, titanium, vanadium) associated with Precambrian mafic-ultramafic rocks in Australia. These products include national review publications (e.g., Nickel sulphide deposits in Australia), reports of metallogenic province studies (Kimberleys, Pilbara, Arunta, Gawler), and various maps, PowerPoint presentations, and digital datasets. Most products can be downloaded free through the www links provided on the fact sheet.
