Interactive resource and tenure maps

Connect to the interactive resource and tenure maps (IRTM)  

Interactive resource and tenure maps allow you to zoom, pan, search and display geological data with mining and exploration tenure information for the whole of Queensland.

They also provide a spatial search tool for the Queensland Digital Exploration Reports system (QDEX), allowing you to list company reports for your project area based on historic exploration tenure.

Downloads

Many of the geological, exploration and mining data layers for Queensland can be downloaded from the IRTM system (Go directly to the Download page).

Getting Started

A simple guide on how the internet maps work is available on the HELP button within the IRTM system.

Once you have accessed the Internet GIS a row of map tools will display above a map window, map layers will be listed down the left, and a map image will appear in the centre of the screen. You can interact with this map image using the tools (eg to zoom in or identify features) and layers to display the spatial information of your choice.

Latest additions and modifications

Maps of Environmentally Sensitive areas

When making application to the EPA for environmental authorities for mining activities, the applicants are required under the Environmental Protection Regulation 1998 to identify Environmentally Sensitive Areas within or adjacent to the proposed mining tenement.

In the past, the applicants have needed to contact the EPA to request copies of these maps or visit an EPA office to obtain a map of the proposed mining site. 

Maps of environmentally sensitive areas are now available via the EPA website, allowing the applicants to produce their own maps. See 'Maps of Environmentally Sensitive areas' on this page to access this service.
