SARIG offers two ways to search and access Geophysical data:
1. Map Menu – Spatial Search
Click on the Spatial Seach icon from the map menu (below)
Select Geophysical data from the data source drop down box and draw an area on the SARIG map. A result search from your search will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen, with an option to download to a CSV (Excel) file.
Clicking the Advanced Search button on the screen will go to a Search Extent form (shown further down this page).
2. Main Menu – Geoscientific Data – Geophysical Data
Click on Main Menu icon, select Geoscientific Data, then select Geophysical Data from the list displayed.
Select either Spatial Search or the Activate Map Layers option
Spatial Search – select Mineral drillholes from the data source drop down box. This option will provide an advanced search option to access the SA Geodata database for government and company gravity, radiometrics, gravity, AEM, and ground magnetic surveys.
Activate Map Layers – when selected will display all available geophysical map layers on the SARIG map.
Spatial search
Search extent
Once an area has been drawn on the map and the Advanced Search button pressed, the Search Extent form appears. Fields indicate the coordinates of the area of interest that are pre-populated once the area is drawn and manual input is not required. If specific coordinates are known, replace the pre-populated coordinates with your own.
The Geophysical data for the selected area can then be be downloaded from the form below.
Search extent file output
Additional options can be chosen from beneath the File Output heading. These options allow customization of the data to be downloaded. Users can select output options for Theme, Format, Projection and Datum.
Downloads
Once the desired File Output buttons have been selected, click on Perfom Search button and the following will display.
Within each result listing are three selection buttons titled Data. Users may click one these buttons to customize the amount of detailed information within a downloaded file. Click a selection button to choose between downloading All data, every 2nd Grid Cell or every 10th Grid Cell.

Check the Download data box for each result to download and enter a valid email address and click Download Results.

An email containing a link to the prepared files will be sent to your designated address a short time after clicking the Download Results.
Thumbnail Sample
Results within the list contain hyperlinks named Show Thumbnail (Draft Only). Clicking on this hyperlink downloads and displays, next to the result, a small thumbnail image representing a draft version of the data (example below). This tool is useful in helping to decide which dataset is appropriate before downloading in full.
