- Abstract
- Mineral Resources, 1996 is a point theme representing mineral deposits worldwide.
- Purpose
- For educational, non-commercial purposes. This dataset is appropriate for use in a GIS.
- Supplemental Information
- Mineral resources are natural substances that are used to produce power and raw materials for economic needs. Mineral resources are irregularly distributed and nonrenewable (exhaustible). In other words, mineral resources can be restocked only through exploration and the development of new deposits. Deposits are subject to different natural, technological, and economic conditions of development and exploitation. The definition of mineral resources is economic. It does not depend directly on the rock content of a useful substance. Scientific and technological progress allows new deposits to be exploited that have a lower content of useful substances, higher content of impurities, or worse ore occurrence. New minerals begin to be mined as well. Hence, the array of mineral resources that are used by humans is constantly expanding.
