Metallic Mineral Districts and Production in Arizona
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
Mineral districts presented herein and delineated on the enclosedmap were defined according to geological criteria.The principal
goal was to arrange known metallic mineral occurrencesinto discreet metallogenic systems of similar age andstyle of mineralization.
It Is strongly stressed that many of themetallic occurrences have poorly understood geological controlsand hence, many of
the district boundaries will change asknowledge of both their deposits and geologic settings is improved.Nevertheless, this
map initiates a geological approach to the subject of mine district definition and suggests that mineral districts are ultimately
geological phenomena.Include a map sheet showing the distribution of metallic mineral districts of Arizona, map scale 1:1,000,000.
