Collected over many decades, this information is highly variablein quality. Currency of individual records is variable as well, so it is likely that some information will be found to be out of date. This is a subject of continuing refinement by the USGS and its cooperators. he five regional compilations of major mineral deposits that are here combined were originally created to begin a global mineral resource assessment, and so should be understood as providing generalized fundamental information about where in the world important mineral resources have been discovered.
For our purposes, we did not need to obtain highly precise geographic locations or details of the geometry of the deposits or their precise geographic extents. The user should expect these point locations to be near the deposits they describe, but the locations may be expected to be one or a few kilometers from the actual locations.
Likewise this survey did not require detailed information on the geological setting of each deposit or the extent of production or resource estimates. For larger deposits described here, such information may be available in other USGS databases or publications. |
