STRIKE is a fully interactive web mapping application that easy access to the Northern Territory’s geo-scientific data and imagery.

The NT Govt. had identified that to ensure future investment in the Territory’s mining sector, it needed to be encourage exploration throughout the region.  The concept of STRIKE was born, and GeoSamba for ArcIMS provided the ideal solution.

STRIKE allows users to:

• Query data such as the amount of ore found in geochemical samples.
• Create customised maps.
• Select a point on a map and show the associated data from all visible map layers.
• Access data for a specified layer within a selected area of a map.
• Display all point data within a selected area, such as all geochemical samples within the boundary of an exploration licence.
• Select historical exploration results, old licences and relevant records summarising previous exploration activity.

Mines and Energy Minister, Kon Vatskalis said, ‘STRIKE  is an exciting tool that can be accessed by explorers wanting to do business in the Territory. This is a fully interactive application, allowing minerals and petroleum exploration companies to add or remove layers of information, zoom in and out of the map display, and search for specific information, to determine the prospectivity of any area in the Northern Territory.’
