	UNPUBLISHED REPORTS `Unpublished Reports' have been issued almost continuously from 1922 and cover a wide range of subjects. These reports have been issued under various titles, and are currently issued as Tasmanian Geological Survey Records. On-line searching of these reports is now available and copies can be viewed or downloaded. For further information on these reports contact the Geoscience Information Officer or Geoscientific Publications Officer.

	WTRMP INVESTIGATION REPORTS Under the Western Tasmanian Regional Minerals Program a number of reports were prepared by external consultants and MRT staff. These reports were published as part of the Tasmanian Geological Survey Record series and can be viewed or downloaded from the MRT website.

	MINERAL EXPLORATION CODE OF PRACTICE The first edition of the Mineral Exploration Code of Practice was issued in December 1990. Since then, the code has been updated, and will continue to be revised so as to remain a current and useful guide for explorers. We envisage that the Code will provide explorers with a useful "ready reference" guide to questions relating to all aspects of exploration.

	QUARRY CODE OF PRACTICE The Quarry Code of Practice has recently been published by the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment. The purpose of this code is to document acceptable safety and environmental guidelines for quarrying.
