WA exploration projects

4,542 projects 108 shires

Named exploration projects with five or more WAMEX reports over them. Project names are what companies call their ground, and the same name gets reused across the state, so each page is bounded by one shire — which is what makes it a single patch of ground rather than a dozen unrelated ones.
