Accessible Resource Booklets for GL5 Natural Resources

This collection provides the enlarged print versions of the GL5 Natural Resources resource booklets, formatted in A4 with 18-point font for candidates with visual access requirements. The geological data — mineral deposit maps, petroleum system diagrams, and borehole logs — is identical to the standard booklets but presented at a larger scale. The enlarged format can make fine cartographic details, such as mineral vein orientations on geological maps or lithological boundaries on cross-sections, easier to trace and annotate. Three enlarged print resource booklets are available from multiple examination sessions.

Using Enlarged Print Resources for GL5 Natural Resources Preparation

Practise exclusively with the enlarged print booklets if you will use them in the examination. The pagination and figure numbering may differ from the standard version, so familiarity with the layout saves valuable examination time. The larger maps can make it easier to identify structural controls on mineralisation, such as the relationship between vein orientation and fault patterns. All geological analysis techniques apply identically to both print formats. Focus your revision on interpreting ore deposit geology, evaluating petroleum prospects from cross-section evidence, and reading borehole log data — the skills matter far more than the print size. When practising, annotate the resource booklets directly: mark up the five elements of a petroleum system on cross-sections, highlight mineralised zones on maps, and draw correlation lines between boreholes. This active engagement with the data mirrors what you should do in the examination.
