DISCUSSION

 This map displays over 1,500 records of mineral facilities withinthe countries of Asia and the Pacific. Each record represents onecommodity and one facility type at a single geographic location. Facilitytypes include mines, oil and gas fields, and plants such as refineries,smelters, and mills. Common commodities of interest includealuminum, cement, coal, copper, gold, iron and steel, lead, nickel,petroleum, salt, silver, and zinc. The data shown on this map and in the accompanying table 1 werecompiled from multiple sources, including (1) the most recentlyavailable data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) MineralYearbook (Asia and the Pacific volume), (2) mineral statistics andinformation from the USGS Web site (http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/country/asia.html), and (3) data collected by the USGS minerals

information country specialists from sources such as statisticalpublications of individual countries, annual reports and press releases ofoperating companies, and trade journals.

 Data reflect the most recent published table of industry structure for

each country at the time of this publication. Additional information andexplanation of the countries facilities is available from the countryspecialist (table 2).

 See table 1 for general information about each mineral facilityrecord including country, commodity, location and facility name, facilitytype, geographic coordinates, mining method, operating company, maininvestor(s), other investor(s), status, capacity, and units of measurement.

 The facilities were plotted using the coordinates shown in table 1.

Both degree-minute-second and decimal degrees are noted in the tablefor reference. Precision varies where coordinates are not to the second. In

some cases, coordinates are estimated or generalized using the nearestcity or other administrative unit. In table 1, facility identification numbers (position numbers) are

ordered alphabetically by country, followed by commodity, and annualcapacity (descending order), respectively. Facilities within the seven enclosed regions marked A, B, C, D, E,F, and G are labeled on the seven corresponding inset maps.
