PRELIMINARY METALLOGENIC MAP OF NORTH AMERICA 

A Listing of Deposits by Commodity 

By Michael P. Lee, Philip W. Guild, and Paul G. Schruben 

ABSTRACT 

The 4,215 ore deposits shown on the Preliminary Metallogenic Map of North America and contained in the Metallogenic Map file have been sorted by their principal (first-listed) 

commodities and grouped into metallic and nonmetallic categories. Deposit listings for 56 individual metals and minerals 

have been assembled using the data base and are arranged 

alphabetically by country, political subdivision (for the larger 

countries), and deposit name. Map numbers, major and minor 

constituents, geographic coordinates, and a geologic code are 

given for each deposit; additionally, the relative size and deposit class have been derived from the code and are listed 

separately. 

The frequencies of individual commodities and commodity 

groups by type, geographic distribution, and geologic occurrence are summarized in tables, and the relationships of associated commodities to principal commodities in the data base 

are emphasized in both tables and brief texts. 

In all, 49 metals and minerals are listed as principal (first or 

only) commodities and 7 more are shown as "major" but not 

principal commodities. (Commodities listed as "minor" in the 

data base were not sorted or tabulated separately.) Metals, 

divided into six subgroups, predominate over nonmetallic minerals by a ratio of about 7 to 1, although in terms of quantities 

and value the disparity is not so great. Within the metals 

group, the ranking according to frequency is as follows: base, 

precious, iron and alloying, other (antimony, beryllium, and 

others), nuclear-fuel, and light metals. 

The most frequently occurring commodity in the Metallogenic Map file is gold. Copper is ranked second, both in number of occurrences and as the principal commodity in deposits. 

Silver is ranked third in frequency of occurrence; lead and zinc 

are ranked fourth and fifth, respectively. Iron, ranked sixth in 

frequency of occurrence as a major commodity, is the third 

most reported principal commodity in the data base, ahead of 

silver (ranked fourth), lead (ranked fifth), and zinc (ranked 

sixth). 

INTRODUCTION 

This circular is the third in a series of listings, 

all pertaining to data originally presented on the 

1 

Preliminary Metallogenic Map of North America 1 

(North American Metallogenic Map Committee, 

1981). The 4,215 deposits shown on the Metallogenic Map are identified by name, metal and (or) 

mineral content, location, and certain other characteristics. In USGS Circular 858-A (Guild, 

1981a), the deposits are arranged alphabetically 

by country and, for the larger countries (Canada, 

Mexico, and the United States), by political subdivision. Within each country (or political subdivision), the deposits are further sorted sequentially 

by map number as it appears on the Metallogenic 

Map. In Circular 858-B (Guild, 1981b), the lists of 

deposits are again sorted alphabetically by country and political subdivision, but then alphabetically by deposit name instead of map number as in 

the first circular. 2 To make the Metallogenic Map 

file data base more readily available and useful to 

those with interests in specific mineral commodities, the deposits are grouped here according to 

their principal mineral commodity and are arranged alphabetically by country, political subdivision, and deposit name. 

The Metallogenic Map file is a computerized 

mineral-resource data file consisting of records 

that represent the 4,215 mineral deposits appearing on the North American Metallogenic Map. 

The file was originally designed as an editing device to aid in compilation of the map. More re-

!Hereafter referred to as the "Metallogenic Map" and, in the case 

of the data base, as the "Metallogenic Map file." 

2As corrections have been made to a few entries in the Metallogenic 

Map file, and as certain records have been amended by addition of new 

data elements, the information presented in this circular varies in 

minor ways from that contained in the previous ones (858-A and 

858-B).

cently, it has found increasing use as a standalone, multipurpose geologic data file from which 

various listings can be derived, as in this circular. 

At the heart of the data base is the geologic deposit code. For each record, this code describes 

alphanumerically what the map symbols display 

graphically about the geologic characteristics of 

individual mineral deposits and districts. The 

records themselves contain five principal elements in addition to the geologic deposit code; to 

assist the user, two additional elements have been 

retrieved from the deposit code and listed separately in this circular (fig. 1). 

The first section of this report discusses how the 

commodity lists of deposits are organized. Deposits are grouped according to the first "major" 

commodity listed in their Metallogenic Map file 

records. The second section contains brief descriptions of the types of information reported for each 

of the deposits. (Abbreviations used to describe 

deposit entries are found in Appendix A at the end 

of this report.) The next section sets forth some 

limitations in the data base with which the user 

should be familiar. The last section before the directories of deposits contains selected summary 

information about the distribution of deposits by 

country, principal metal and mineral contents, 

geologic deposit types, and sizes. 

The deposit listings are divided into two major 

sections corresponding to the two major commodity groups (metals and nonmetallic minerals). Because several metals or minerals occur together in 

many deposits, a cross-referencing system is used 

so that each deposit is listed only once in this 

report.

CLASSIFICATION OF DEPOSITS BY 

MINERAL COMMODITY AND COMMODITY 

GROUPS 

Fifty-six metals and minerals are shown as 

present in the deposits depicted on the Metallogenic Map. Of these, 49 occur either alone or as 

the first-listed (principal) commodity; the other 7 

are not "principal" commodities. 3 These metals 

and minerals are classified, as shown in table 1, 

into two broad commodity groups: metals (which 

includes six subgroups) and nonmetallic minerals. Many deposits contain several mineral commodities. The ordering of the elements (or minerals) as they appear in the "major" and "minor" 

commodities field (see fig. 1) reflects the relative 

physical abundance or, for precious metals, the 

value (decreasing from left to right) of these commodities in the deposit. 

The deposits are arranged in groups on the 

basis of the first element (or mineral) in the major 

commodity field. 4 As shown in figure 1, the 

Austinville-Ivanhoe district, Virginia (USVA 12) 

has zinc (Zn) reported as the first commodity in 

the major commodities field and lead (Pb) as the 

second. This deposit is therefore cited in the zinc 

commodity list. There are other deposits that contain zinc as a major, but not the principal, com3Actually 58 commodities appear in the Metallogenic Map file. 

However two of these, lanthanum (LA) and scandium (SC), are not the 

principal commodity in either the "major" or "minor" commodity fields. 

Both appear as "minor" but not the first-listed commodities in two 

records; lanthanum in a niobium deposit (CAQB 228) and scandium in 

a fluorite deposit <USMT 38). As a consequence, neither commodity is 

listed in the commodity indexing system used throughout this report. 

4For those deposits without major commodities reported, minor 

commodities are used instead. 
modity. Notable examples include the Sullivan 

mine, Canada (CABC 329), and San Francisco del 

Oro, Mexico (MXCH 182), where zinc is recovered 

as a coproduct-see listing for "Lead." Still other 

deposits contain zinc as a minor commodity; one of 

the better known examples in the data base is the 

Ducktown district, Tennessee (USTN 16-listed 

under "Iron Sulfide"). 

Since deposit groups in the main listing are 

sorted on only the first of five possible items in the 

major commodities field, a cross index (directory) 

accompanies each list to locate deposits that contain a given commodity in positions 2 through 5 in 

the major commodities field. For instance, the 

Austinville-Ivanhoe district appears under zinc in 

the main listing but contains lead as a second

major commodity. Using the cross-indexing system, the user would find that lead would also be 

found in deposits of seven other principal5 major 

commodities, among them iron sulfide, copper, 

zinc, gold, silver, barite, and fluorite, and that 

zinc would also be found in deposits of iron sulfide, 

copper, lead, gold, silver, tungsten, and barite. 

The matrix in figure 2 has been assembled to 

aid in searching for lists of deposits containing 

specific commodities or groups of commodities. It 

shows the association between metals and minerals for deposits and districts in the Metallogenic 

Map file. This matrix indicates, for example, that 

zinc is associated with ferrous, base, precious, and 

"other" (minor) metals and several nonmetallic 

minerals. Because exact elemental associations 

among deposits are contingent upon a variety of 

geologic factors, not all of the associations shown 

in the matrix can be expected for all deposits in 

the listings. To illustrate, in the Cornwall iron 

deposit, Pennsylvania (USPA 5), copper, cobalt, 

and gold are reported to be associated. This deposit is a skarn or greisen type; the same mineral 

assemblage should not be expected of another iron 

deposit of a differing genetic background, for example, a banded-iron (sedimenta.ry) deposit. 

EXPLANATION OF HEADINGS FOR 

DEPOSIT LISTINGS 

The eight headings on the deposit lists (fig. 1) 

that form the bulk of this report are discussed 

below. Detailed explanations of the abbreviations 

used and the geologic deposit code are explained 

in Appendix A. 

Country/State code.-The geographic location 

of each deposit is indicated by a four-letter abbre5For the purposes of this report, "principal" deposits are those deposits in which the metal, mineral, or element in question is the firstlisted commodity in the major, or, if no major commodity is present, in 

the minor commodities field (see fig. 1). 

.--

FIGURE 2.-Matrix showing commodity association as listed in 

the Metallogenic Map file (Guild, 1981a, 1981b). Principal metal 

and (or) mineral contents of deposits are shown by numbers in 

shaded squares. 1 Deposits containing the metal or mineral as 

a subordinate constituent are shown by numbers only. Numbers in italics refer to commodities not reported as "principal" 

(see table 1). 

5 

viation (see table A-1 of Appendix A). The first 

two letters designate the country and the second 

two, for the larger nations, smaller political subdivisions such as States or Provinces. 

Map number.-Deposits are identified bynumbers to permit cross-referencing between the 

Metallogenic Map and the data base. Numbers 

are sequential within political units, although 

some have been omitted and some deposits have 

an additional designation of "A" or "B." 

Deposit/ district name.-The most commonly 

used name of the mineral deposit, district, mine, 

prospect, claim, or occurrence is reported. Synonyms are indicated in parentheses. Terms such 

as "district," "area," "mine," or "prospect" are 

added to many names to give additional information. 

Deposit size.-The relative size of the deposit, 

district, or area being described is indicated as 

large, medium, or small. With few exceptions, the 

limits between the size categories are in terms of 

metric tons of the substance(s) contained before 

exploitation; thus, past production plus remaining reserves have been added to arrive at a size 

category. Deposits of multicommodity ores, such 

as lead-zinc-silver-gold-copper, were categorized 

by summing the base-metal contents and adding 

precious-metal values. (Precious metals have fluctuated greatly in price, and this adds to the uncertainty of deposit-size classification.) The definitions for these size categories are somewhat 

arbitrary; uncertainties in both production and 

reserves (resources) information preclude exact 

assignment of some deposits to a size category. 

Large is designated by "A," medium by "B," and 

small by "C." Size classes are quantified in 

table A-4 of Appendix A. 

Geologic class.-Eleven categories have been 

used to show the general geologic nature of the 

mineral deposits (see table A-5 of Appendix A). 

Most deposits can be assigned rather confidently 

to one or another of the classes, but problems arise 

for some. Examples include the manto deposits, 

partly vein (crosscutting), partly replacement of 

favorable beds (strata-bound). These have been 

designated "deposits of irregular or indefinite 

shape." Where both primary and secondary deposits exist (e.g., gold-bearing veins and placers), 

the primary type is emphasized. If, however, the 

primary concentration was fairly weak, the deposits are designated by the class that provided 

the bulk of production. 
Major and minor commodities.-One or more of 

the 58 metals or minerals contained in deposits 

are listed in order of abundance from left to right. 

Most commodities are shown by standard chemical symbols, although some abbreviations have 

been used (see fig. 2). The distinction between 

"major" and "minor" is arbitrary; provision was 

made for up to five commodities in each category. 

In general, "minor" designates metals or minerals 

that may be, but are not necessarily, recovered as 

byproducts. If only minor commodities are shown, 

the deposit is probably uneconomic. 

Latitude and longitude (coordinates) .-Latitude and longitude are expressed in degrees and 

minutes (location precision is the nearest 

minute). An asterisk following the longitude indicates that the coordinates cited are chosen arbitrarily to represent a mineral district. 

Geologic deposit code.-The geologic deposit 

code is an abbreviated description of the geologic 

characteristics of the deposit. It consists of a 

string of numbers and letters in a fixed order, 

providing information on six areas of interest 

(fig. 3). The first field contains an alphanumeric 

code denoting the principal metal or mineral 

content of the deposit. (Fifty-four metal/mineral 

combinations contained in deposits are possiblesee table A-2 of Appendix A). The digits (if any) 

following the first field describe the depositional 

environment and (or) the nature of igneous intrusive rocks associated with the ore (see table A-3 of 

Appendix A). The next (second) letter appearing 

in the code denotes the size of the deposit (see 

table A-4 of Appendix A). This second letter completes the minimum description for any deposit. 

The second number field in the code denotes the 

geologic class to which the deposit is assigned (see 

table A-5 of Appendix A). The letter that follows 

in the next field indicates how the deposit has 

been represented on the Metallogenic Map. Deposits are shown on the map using the standard 

deposit symbol, as outlines of mineralized areas 

(districts), or as a combination of the two (see 

table A-6 of Appendix A). The final digit in the 

code gives the age of mineralization for deposits

LIMITATIONS TO THE USE OF THE 

DATA BASE 

Most computerized data bases have limitations 

that curtail their usefulness in some applications. 

For the Metallogenic Map file, the more noteworthy are as follows: 

1. Because the file was originally conceived as 

an editing device, it contains records for only 

those deposits and districts incorporated on the 

7 

map, whose scale, 1:5,000,000 (6,400 mi2/in2), requires enormous simplification. The result is that 

much mineral-resource information has been left 

out. The well-known concentration, for geological 

reasons, of numerous and varied ore deposits in 

localized areas exacerbates the problem; hence, 

only a small fraction of the total known ore 

occurrences can be represented graphically, and a 

few major deposits had to be omitted entirely. 

However, a large percentage of the total resources 
of many eommodities is contained in only a relatively few major concentrations (Singer and 

DeYoung, 1980), so the file probably does represent most of the ore known at the time of compilation; 

2. Resources identified since completion of the 

map compilation (ca. 1980) are not in the file. Two 

factors are involved: (a) discovery of ore in areas 

not previously known through continuing and 

vigorous exploration efforts, and (b) reevaluation 

of reserves/resources in areas already known. The 

latter, in particular, has been strongly influenced 

by economic factors of escalating prices for some 

commodities (e.g., gold and silver) and technologic 

advances in mining and treatment of low-grade 

ores. 

3. The mineral deposits and districts listed in 

this report are shown without regard to their 

status of exploitation; occurrences may be active, 

exhausted, or with known reserves but currently 

undeveloped. Most deposits contain ore-grade material (although some may not be economic because of location or other impediments to their 

exploitation), but some below-grade and unevaluated occurrences have been included because of 

their metallogenic significance. 

4. As stated earlier, many of the deposits contain multiple mineral commodities. The ordering 

of the elements (or minerals) as they appear in the 

commodity fields reflects the relative physical 

abundance of reported metals and minerals in the 

deposits rather than the market value of these 

commodities, except for the precious metalsgold, silver, and platinum-group elementswhich have been ordered according to their relative market values; and 

5. The recoverability of material from deposits 

and districts listed in this data base is subject to 

the unique physical properties of individual deposits as well as to other factors that have not 

been addressed in this report. Thus, the deposits 

and districts cited herein should be interpreted as 

resources in the geologic sense rather than potential sources of supply. 

For these reasons, the Metallogenic Map file 

does not constitute a current data base in the 

strictest sense as do some of the others maintained by the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey, 

1984). 

SELECTED SUMMARY INFORMATION ON 

MINERAL DEPOSITS AND OCCURRENCES 

Several general aspects of the distribution of 

mineral resources in North America, as recorded 

in the Metallogenic Map file, are summarized 

below: 

Table 2 shows the distribution of deposits by the 

commodity groups shown in table 1. As a commodity group, the number of deposits and occurrences 

for metals exceeds the number reported for nonmetallic minerals. Overall, commodities classiTABLE 2.-Number of mineral deposits and occurrences in the Metallogenic Map file for each

tied as base metals are the most frequently cited 

in the data base, followed by precious metals, iron 

and its alloying metals, nonmetallic minerals, 

other metals (antimony, beryllium, and others), 

nuclear-fuel metals, and light metals. 

The large disparity between the number of deposits and occurrences of metallic minerals in the 

data base and the number for nonmetallic minerals can be attributed to two factors: (1) the common industrial materials, such as limestone, sand 

and gravel, clay, and others are not included, and 

(2) many nonmetallic minerals, notably the evaporites, occur in extensive basins and generally 

consist of several or many deposits and mines but, 

for the purposes of the map, are represented by 

district symbols and only one or a few records in 

the Metallogenic Map file. 

The highest ranked mineral commodities in 

terms of both occurrence and as principal commodity in deposits are those traditionally sought 

owing to their importance to industrial society. Of 

the five top-ranked commodities (table 3), three 

are base metals (copper, lead, and zinc) and two 

are precious metals (gold and silver). The most

§.!Does not occur as a principal commodity in the Metallogenic Map file. 

1/ Mineralogic nature not specified; probably halite. 

frequently occurring commodity in the data base 

is gold, at least in part because it has always been 

eagerly sought and is easily recognized and because its high unit-value has not required an elaborate infrastructure to make its recovery and 

marketing profitable from small operations. It is 

listed as a major commodity in 983 deposits and is 

reported as the principal commodity in 770 deposits. Copper is ranked second, both in number of 

occurrences-907 -and as the principal commodity in deposits-614. Silver is ranked third in frequency of occurrence; lead and zinc are ranked 

fourth and fifth, respectively. Iron, ranked sixth 

10 

in frequency of occurrence as a major commodity, 

is the third most reported principal commodity in 

the data base, ahead of silver (ranked fourth), lead 

(ranked fifth), and zinc (ranked sixth). 

Commodities with intermediate and low ranks 

shown in table 3 are mostly nonmetallic minerals. 

These commodities are widely found in extensive 

basins and mining districts in North America. 

Notable examples include gypsum, halite, sulfur, 

talc, magnesium, potash, boron, mirabilite, and 

sodium. The low rank of other commodities in the 

data base can be attributed to the lack of known 

favorable host rocks in North America or to the

from one record to another. Table 6 shows the 

distribution of mineral deposits and occurrences 

by size category. 

A third drawback to direct comparison of the 

data relates in part to the geologic classes of the 

deposits, shown in table 7. The geologic class to a 

considerable extent determines the area that individual ore accumulations occupy and hence their 

manner of representation and their numbers of 

records in the data base. Thus, chemical deposits, 

chiefly iron formations and phosphorites, and 

evaporite deposits are most commonly shown by 

district symbols which may incorporate dozens or 

even hundreds of mine sites. Similarly, the areas 

of strata-bound disseminated deposits, chiefly 

base-metal deposits (loosely of the "Mississippi 

Valley" type) and nuclear fuels may contain hundreds of individual deposits. The vein deposits, 

the most numerous type shown, almost certainly 

contain only a fraction of the ore present in deposits of the stockwork category, which includes 

the well-known porphyry ores and the mantos. 

Another aspect of the geographic distribution of 

the deposits is their relationship to the geologic 

provinces shown on figure 4 (and much more 

clearly on the Metallogenic Map itself). By far the 

greatest number are in the Cordillera, which reflects the preponderance of vein, stockwork, skarn 

or greisen, and other igneous-associated types 

(generally shown by standard deposit symbols) in 

this province as contrasted with the preferred localization of extensive sediment-hosted (chemical, evaporite, and strata-bound disseminated) deposits in the Platform province. The Shield, 

especially its southern margin, contains the next 

greatest concentration of deposits of igneous association plus many iron formations. The apparent 

scarcity of deposits in the northern, more isolated

regions may be due to insufficient exploration. 

The Appalachians, including the orogenic belt 

along the eastern and northern margin of North 

America, is the smallest of the geologic provinces; 

it contained, however, important deposits of most 

of the commodities, many of which now seem to be 

exhausted. 

One further caveat relates to the preliminary 

nature of the map and file, discussed briefly in the 

"Introduction" to USGS Circular 858-A (Guild, 

1981a, p. A1, A2). Review of the data for this circular reveals that inconsistencies in treatment and 

(or) interpretation of the facts from area to area 

are rather common, particularly in designation of 

commodities as "major" or "minor" and in assignment of geologic type. In a data file this size, there 

is always room for improving the quality of the 

data. 

COMMODITY DIRECTORIES 

The rest of this report consists of summary information and deposit lists for each of the 56 principal metals and nonmetallic minerals appearing 

in the Metallogenic Map file. The directories for 

14 

these commodities are ordered as shown in 

table 1. Deposit directories for metals appear 

first, beginning with lists of the ferrous metals 

and continuing with lists of the base, light, and 

precious metals, nuclear-fuel metals, and other 

metals. Thus, the first list of deposits to appear is 

that of iron, followed by iron sulfide, chromium, 

cobalt, and so forth. As the nonmetallic minerals 

cited in this report have not been subdivided into 

groups, directories of these deposits are arranged 

alphabetically. Directories for the seven "major" 

but not principal commodities appear last. They 

consist of only brief texts and are arranged according to their frequency of occurrence in the data 

base. 

Many of the principal sources of information 

used to compile the Metallogenic Map (and the 

accompanying data base) have been previously 

cited (North American Metallogenic Map Committee, 1981). For a more detailed treatment of 

the mineralogy, geology, and resources of the 

commodities listed herein, the reader should consult the following: Canada, Douglas (1970) and 

Eckstrand (1984); Caribbean region, Kesler 

(1978) and Engineering and Mining Journal

1/ According to the classification of deposits by principal commodity shown in Table 1. 

1! Geologic classes and abbreviations are from Table A-S of Appendix A. 

(1977); Central America, Roberts and Irving 

(1957), Dengo and Levy (1970), and Weyl (1980); 

Greenland, Nielson (1973); Mexico, Salas (1976, 

1982) and de Cserna (1976); and the United 

States, Brobst and Pratt (1973). 

Each of the commodity sections consists of 

three parts. The first part is an introductory text 

summarizing noteworthy aspects of each commodity deposit list. The second part consists of tables, 

usually two, one a directory of information on the 

number and location of other deposits containing 

the metal or mineral as a subordinate constituent and the second showing the distribution of 

principal deposits by geologic class. For example, 

there are 607 deposits containing zinc as a major 

commodity; 207 of these deposits are principal 

zinc deposits. The remaining 392 deposits containing zinc as a subordinate constituent are distributed among seven other commodities: lead, 

146 deposits; silver, 144 deposits; copper, 74 deposits; gold, 25 deposits; iron sulfide, 7 deposits; 

barite, 3 deposits; and tungsten, 1 deposit. This 

information for zinc and the other 56 metals and 

minerals appearing in the data base was summa15 

rized earlier by the matrix in figure 2. Figure 2 

also shows that there are seven major commodities not reported as principal commodities in the 

data base-arsenic, bismuth, cadmium, cesium, 

selenium, tantalum, and tellurium. Information 

on these commodities appears after the directories 

of nonmetallic minerals. 

The distribution of deposits by geologic deposit 

type is also reported. Again, using zinc as the example, all but 2 of the 207 principal zinc deposits 

are distributed among six geologic deposit-type 

classes; the other 2 deposits have not been 

classified. These geologic deposit classes are: massive strata-bound (MSTR), 75 deposits; disseminated strata-bound (DSTR), 70 deposits; vein and 

shear zone (VEIN), 35 deposits; stockwork 

(STOK), 15 deposits; skarn or greisen (SKAR), 9 

deposits; and pegmatite (PEGM), 1 deposit. Table 

7 shows a summary of this information for all 

mineral deposits in the Metallugenic Map file. 

Deposit listings for each commodity follow the 

brief texts and tables. The lists of deposits are 

ordered alphabetically by Country/State code and 

deposit name.

METALS 

FERROUS METALS7 

IRON (FE) 

Iron is a major element, accounting for about 5 percent of the 

Earth's crust. It occurs in nature chiefly as oxide, silicate, carbonate, or sulfide minerals. Most ores used for production of 

iron (and steel) are oxides concentrated about 5 to 14 times over 

the crustal abundance; carbonate and silicate ores are minor 

sources of the metal. (Iron sulfides, valuable principally for the 

sulfur, and in many deposits especially for the base and precious metals that accompany them, are listed separately.) 

By far the largest ore concentrations are the sedimentary 

(banded) iron formations (CHEM), which are chiefly of 

Archean and Early Proterozoic age. Iron is ordinarily the only 

element of commercial interest, although manganese is 

present in a few. On the other hand, many of the igneousassociated (SKAR, STOCK, IGNS, and VEIN) deposits have 

other major or minor constituents that correlate to a considerable extent with the composition of the intrusive rock. Thus, 

most iron-copper ores are skarns associated with felsic rocks, 

and nearly all the iron-titanium ores are in anorthosite. The 

laterite (LTRT) ores, which are products of oxidation of ironmagnesium silicates in ultramafic rocks and concentration on 

7Jron and its alloying metals.

extensive surfaces under tropical weathering conditions, are 

valuable chiefly for their nickel and cobalt, although they were 

formerly mined for iron in the Mayarf, Moa, and San Felipe 

districts of Cuba. Iron-bearing sedimentary formations raised 

to ore grade by weathering-the brown ores of the Southeastern United States and elsewhere-are also categorized here as 

LTRT; they can be distinguished by the absence of coding for 

igneous rocks. Because the iron oxides are heavy and resistant 

to chemical attack they accumulate as placers (PLCR) that 

may be of ore grade. Most placers are geologically modern, but 

a few occur in older sedimentary rocks.

IRON SULFIDE (FES) 

Most iron sulfide deposits are concordant with the bedding in 

stratified rocks and are composed of 50 percent or more of 

pyrite or, less commonly, pyrrhotite; hence they are designated 

"massive strata-bound" (MSTR). Many are in mafic submarine 

volcanic rocks (basalts) and are generally recognized as volcanogenic. The very large deposits at Ducktown (USTN 16) are 

in nonvolcanic metasediments, but they and similar deposits, 

for example, Gossan Lead (USV A 13) are now considered to 

have formed from solutions introduced into fault basins during 

the early stages of the continental rifting that produced the 

ancestral Atlantic Ocean (Gair and Slack, 1984; Stephens and 

others, 1984). 

Copper, zinc, and minor lead, gold, and silver may be the 

chief or only economic metals, especially in deposits for which 

these commodities are listed first. (Although iron sulfide is 

usually the most abundant mineral, it is often discarded, and

CHROMIUM (CR) 

With few exceptions, chromite, the only ore mineral of 

chromium, occurs alone as segregations in mafic or ultramafic 

(magnesium-iron-rich) igneous rocks. Two types of deposits 

are distinguished: stratiform in layered intrusions, and podiform in ophiolite terranes; they are denoted IGNS and STOK, 

respectively. 

The stratiform deposits resulted from segregation in place 

from large magma intrusions; nearly all are Precambrian age. 

Stratiform deposits contain most of the chromium resources of 

the world, but those in North America are relatively unimportant and (or) low grade (DeYoung and others, 1984, p. 31, 37). 

Podiform deposits may be massive or layered, but they do not 

have the great lateral extent of the stratiform ores; some, at 

least, were almost certainly derived from the mantle by disruption of preex: 3ting deposits (Guild, 194 7). They tend to occur in 

clusters; some districts contain dozens to hundreds of individual deposits. Deposits shown as "geologic class not reported" 

are also all podiform; hence, the vast majority of North American deposits are of this type. Most production has come from

COBALT (Co) 

Most cobalt occurs as a subordinate constituent of ores of 

other metals, and so only a fraction of the known or potential 

sources are tabulated below. Cobalt's two principal habits are 

(1) as sulfides, arsenides, or sulfarsenides in ores of nickel and 

(or) copper associated with mafic and ultramafic rocks, and 

(2) as minor constituents in iron-nickel laterites developed over 

ultramafic rocks by tropical weathering. 

In the United States, past cobalt producers have included the 

Gap nickel mine (USPA 14), the Fredericktown lead district 

(USMO 21), the Cornwall magnetite mine (USPA 5), and the 

Blackbird cobalt-copper-nickel deposit (USID 22). The largest 

domestic source of cobaltiferous ores is thought to be contained 

in the copper-nickel sulfides occurring in the lower part of the 

Duluth Complex (see the record for the Marquette RangeIron, USMI 7) (Grosh and others, 1955). 

Commercial bodies of massive and disseminated ironnickel-copper sulfides containing byproduct cobalt are associated with intrusive mafic rocks of the famed Sudbury nickel 

district, Ontario (CAON 187). Other cobaltiferous ores in large 

nickel deposits are associated with mafic igneous rocks and 

metamorphic rocks in the Lynn Lake (CAMB 3) and Thompson 

(CAMB 31)-Moak (CAMB 30) Lake area, Manitoba. (Cobalt

Cobalt (CAON 190), Ontario, including also Gowganda (CAON 

170), South Lorrain (CAON 191), and other lesser deposits. 

Cobalt arsenides and sulfarsenides are coproducts with native 

silver in fissure veins in association with dolerite sills. 

Cobalt generally occurs in proportions of about one-tenth 

the nickel content in the lateritic ores of the Caribbean region.

MANGANESE (MN) 

Although veins associated with Tertiary volcanism, chiefly 

in Mexico, predominate in number of deposits, most manganese 

deposits in North America are small, and the preponderance of 

resources are of the strata-bound type, either massive (MSTR) 

and volcanogenic, disseminated (DSTR) or chemical precipitates (CHEM). Manganese oxides that are either primary or 

the product of oxidation of carbonates (rarely silicates) are the 

chief ore minerals in most deposits. However, the deposit at 

Molango, Mexico (MXHD 5), is by far the largest in North 

America. The deposit consists of manganese carbonate except 

for minor near-surface oxide bodies that led to its recent (1966) 

discovery. Resources are estimated in billions of tons (Tavera 

and Alexandri, 1972) and extend many tens of kilometers 

through the rugged Sierra Madre Oriental. The other stratabound deposits shown as large are low grade and subeconomic.

MOLYBDENUM (Mo) 

"Porphyry" ores, which constitute by far the largest resources of copper and molybdenum in North America, were 

formed by late-stage hydrothermal deposition of ore minerals, 

chiefly sulfides, in the upper parts of granitic stocks and adjacent wallrocks. (These deposits are reported as "STOK" in the 

listings.) The principal types of porphyry ore are copper, with 

or without significant but minor amounts of molybdenum, and 

molybdenum, usually with little or no copper. In roughly half 

of the deposits, molybdenum constitutes the chief or only value; 

in most of the others, it is a co- or byproduct of copper. Most 

deposits containing both molybdenum and tungsten as major 

commodities are skarns (SKAR) (Einaudi and others, 1981, 

p. 358, 359). 

The Cordilleran region contains most of the molybdenum 

resources of North America. Deposits along the western margin of the continent range in age from Mesozoic (age coded 3 to 

5) to Tertiary (age coded 6) and are hosted in intrusives into

NICKEL (NI) 

Most nickel deposits are associated with mafic or ultramafic 

rocks, either as sulfides (less commonly arsenides or sulfarsenides) concentrated during the magmatic or early postmagmatic phase of intrusion (IGNS, STOK, or VEIN), or as 

late surficial concentrations produced by weathering of nickel 

contained in the lattice of silicate minerals (chiefly fosteritic 

olivine) in ultramafic rocks (LTRT). Copper and, to a lesser 

extent, cobalt accompany nickel in the sulfide deposits; copper 

tends to predominate in the mafic (gabbroic) and nickel in the 

ultramafic rocks, though this is not a rigorous relationship. 

The majority of the sulfide deposits in North America are of 

Precambrian age; foremost among these are the gabbroichosted deposits of the Sudbury district, Canada (CAON 187). 

The laterite deposits, which form under warm, humid conditions, are predominantly restricted to tropical or subtropical 

regions (Golightly, 1981, p. 711). The nickel occurs either as a 

silicate (garnierite) or as a minor constituent, but major in 

value, in ferruginous minerals (limonite or hematite). Cobalt 

ordinarily is present in the ferruginous laterites in amounts of 

roughly one-tenth that of the nickel, but copper is absent. 

Laterites reach thicknesses of tens of meters, and on some 

extensive surfaces, as in eastern Cuba, resources are measured 

in billions of tons of iron and millions of tons of nickel (Guild

and Cox, 1977). Laterites have been mined for iron (e.g., 

Mayari-CUCU 27), but their chief value today is for the 

nickel and cobalt. The principal deposits in the data base, besides the Cuban ores mentioned, are in Guatemala (GTGT 17), 

the Dominican Republic (DRDR 2), and Puerto Rico (RQRQ 6 

and RQRQ 7). Smaller deposits in Oregon (USOR 28) and 

northern California, which are outside the ~ropics, were formed 

in earlier times when the climate there was warmer.

VANADIUM (V) 

Nearly all vanadium occurs with uranium, either as the 

principal or accompanying commodity, in platform cover rocks 

of the Colorado Plateau (for example, see the record for the 

Uravan mineral belt-"Uranium," USCO 13). A deposit in Arkansas (USAR 6) contains vanadium in the contact zone of an 

alkalic-mafic intrusive. Vanadium also occurs as a minor constituent in iron deposits, particularly the titaniferous ones, in 

phosphorites, and in other environments, but few of these have 

been identified here.

BASE METALS 

COPPER (Cu) 

As indicated in the accompanying table, copper occurs with 

so many metals and in so many deposit types that simple categorization is impossible. Only a few generalizations will be 

attempted here. 

Many ores mined chiefly for other metals also contain recoverable copper. The coproduct-byproduct recovery of copper and 

associated metals from ores depends on the quantity of metals 

present (grade) and on the processes used in recovering the 

principal metals. Sulfides are by far the most common ore minerals; the Keweenaw district (USMI 3) is the only major one in 

which the copper is present in the native (metallic) state. Oxides, carbonates, and silicates, mostly of secondary origin, are 

minor sources. 

In North America, most copper deposits are genetically related to igneous activity, either intrusive or extrusive; the 

"porphyry" (STOK) and most vein (VEIN) deposits, plus the 

skarn (SKAR) and igneous (IGNS) deposits, are of the former 

type. Porphyry deposits represent the largest commercial concentrations of copper, although other deposit types have been 

important sources of supply in the past. In many mining districts, more than one deposit type is present. Typically, the 

porphyry deposit occupies the center of a district containing 

additional copper-rich veins, pipes, and replacement deposits. 

Appreciable quantities of other metals, such as molybdenum, 

gold, silver, zinc, lead, bismuth, tin, and tungsten, may be 

present in porphyries in widely varying proportions, either 

within the disseminated ore itself or in associated skarns, replacement bodies, or veins. Because the grades are so low, economic viability for a deposit depends strongly on its size, location, feasibility of extraction, current metal prices, and 

byproduct values. Thus many "porphyry systems" have been 

identified throughout the continent (Canada, Mexico, and 

Panama) that do not. meet the requirements for ore today (see, 

e.g., Sillitoe, 1976, and Hollister, 1978); the listings show some, 

but not all, of these deposits. 

Metal associations correlate to a considerable extent with 

magma type; thus nickel accompanies copper in mafic and 

ultramafic magmas (indeed, it may predominate in the ultramafic rocks), whereas molybdenum accompanies copper in 

more silicic magmas. Many of the copper-zinc (or zinc-copper) 

deposits are massive strata-bound (MSTR) in eugeosynclinal 

(volcanic) environments and are now generally equated with 

sea-floor-spreading phenomena (Sillitoe, 1972). 

Sedimentary, nonmagmatic copper deposits (many of those 

categorized as "DSTR") are in sandstone, shale, or, to a lesser 

extent, carbonate host rocks. Most in North America are small; 

only White Pine (USMI 4) is listed as of first rank. This contrasts sharply with northern Europe, the Soviet Union, Africa, 

and Australia, where large strata-bound deposits are known to 

contain significant concentrations of copper resources (see 

Tourtelot and Vine, 1976). 

Economically unimportant "red bed" copper deposits in the 

Colorado Plateau have characteristics and origins similar to 

the uranium-vanadium deposits.

LEAD (PB) 

Lead, zinc, and silver are closely associated; most, but not all, 

deposits of one metal contain the others also. The primary lead 

ore minerals are sulfides; oxidized (secondary) minerals are of 

little importance. Although vein deposits outnumber the other 

types, disseminated strata-bound (DSTR) deposits contain the 

greatest amount of lead resources, principally because many 

are in extensive districts represented by a single or only a few 

entries in the file. Chief among these are the carbonate-hosted 

Mississippi Valley districts, for example, the old and new Lead 

Belts and nearby districts of Missouri (USMO 17, USMO 21, 

USMO 23, and USMO 24) in which lead is the only major 

commodity. (In other carbonate-hosted districts, zinc may predominate or be the sole metal.) 

Examples of highly productive vein-type lead deposits include the districts of Coeur d'Alene (USID 7 and USID 9) and 

Santa Barbara (MXCH 183).1t should be noted, however, that 

some lead-bearing vein deposits in the data base are known for 

other commodities; these include silver-Taxco (MXGR 15) 

and Fresnillo (MXZC 42)-and copper-Butte (USMT 39). 

Certain deposits are shown as massive strata-bound (MSTR) 

because sulfide minerals make up more than 50 percent of the 

ore; these are generally shale-hosted and tend to have higher 

contents of silver plus other metals than the disseminated deposits, but they are not necessarily volcanogenic. Massive sulfide deposits range in size up to many millions of tons (Mosier 

and others, 1983) and grade up to combined-metal values of 

several hundred dollars per ton; they constitute, therefore, important mineral resources. Numerous examples are known in 

the greenstone belts of the Canadian Shield. 

The Proterozoic rocks of the Cordillera are host to abundant 

lead-zinc-silver deposits, many of them strata-bound. The Sullivan deposit (CABC 329), one of the world's largest, withalmost 19 million tons of combined lead and zinc, 10,000 tons of 

silver, abundant sulfur (from pyrite), and additional values of 

tin, cadmium, copper, and gold (Gustafson and Williams, 1981, 

table 1C ). 

Strata-bound but epigenetic (replacement) deposits in carbonate rocks also constitute a very important source of lead and 

zinc in the listings. Mississippi Valley-type deposits formed at 

relatively low temperatures from highly saline water. No magmatic rocks, either intrusive or extrusive, are associated with 

these deposits. Important examples of this deposit type include 

the Pine Point (CAMK 105), Tri-State (USMO 4, USKS 7, and 

USOK 5-See "Zinc"), Southeast Missouri (USMO 17), and 

Viburnum (USMO 23) districts. 

Lead-zinc deposits, some containing silver, are abundant in 

the Paleozoic miogeosynclinal rocks of Northwestern Canada, 

especially in the Mackenzie Mountains area (CA YK 53 and 

other deposits) and to the south, at Cirque (see listing for 

"Zinc," CABC 71) and neighboring deposits. Most deposits are 

strata-bound and either carbonate-hosted or shale-hosted, the 

former having been equated with the Mississippi Valley type 

by Callahan (1977). Barite accompanies the sulfide minerals in 

some deposits, particularly shale-hosted ones, and occurs essentially alone in others, including some that are very large 

(see "Barite"). 

Ore in so-called manto deposits is in part strata-bound in 

sedimentary rocks, generally limestone, and in part crosscutting as stockworks or chimneys that connect bedded ores at 

more than one horizon and are generally considered to represent channelways for the introduction of mineralizing solutions. These deposits therefore have characteristics of both 

stratiform deposits and veins; deposits of this type are listed as 

STOK in the data base. Lead-zinc-silver deposits of this type 

occur in miogeosynclinal rocks of Mesozoic age in north-central 

Mexico (MXCH 105, MXDR 76, and others) and of Paleozoic 

age in the Southwestern United States.

ZINC (ZN) 

Zinc sulfide is the common ore mineral; zinc oxide, carbonate, or silicate minerals are present in some and predominate 

in a few deposits. Most major and many smaller zinc deposits 

are strata-bound and are not associated with intrusive igneous 

rocks. The disseminated deposits (DSTR) tend to have lead and 

only minor silver; they are ordinarily in miogeosynclinal or 

platform-cover carbonate rocks. The massive strata-bound 

(MSTR) deposits commonly contain copper (which may exceed 

the zinc), silver, and iron sulfide; lead may be minor or not be 

present in significant amounts. Most MSTR deposits are hosted 

in volcano-sedimentary (greenstone or eugeosynclinal) sequences. 

Strata-bound deposits in metamorphic rocks include the 

largest commercial concentrations of zinc-lead and zinc-copper ores knoWTt. Typical of these deposits are those at the Sullivan mine (see "Lead," CABC 329), Buchans (CANF 32), 

Bathhurst-Newcastle (CANB 2), Kidd Creek (CAON 123), Flin 

Flon (CASA 39), and Sturgeon Lake (CAON 76). 

Another major type of strata-bound zinc deposit is found in 

platform carbonate rocks. The ores in many districts are relatively low grade and occur as extensive bodies within broadly 

mineralized regions that are tectonically undisturbed. Although most of these districts produce both lead and zinc, zinc 

is generally dominant. Districts containing strata-bound deposits in carbonate rocks in the Metallogenic Map file indude 

the Pine Point (CAMK 105), Upper Mississippi Valley (USIL 1 

and USWI 7), Friedensville (USPA 7), and Tri-State (USKS 7,

metamorphosed equivalents of this class include Metaline 

(USW A 22), Balmat-Edwards (USNY 3), and Franklin Furnace-Sterling Hill (USNJ 1). 

Irregular replacement deposits (and associated fissure fillings) appear to be spatially and genetically related to igneous 

stocks of intermediate to acidic composition. These deposits, 

reported as STOK, contain, in addition to lead and zinc, appreciable quantities of copper, silver, gold, and tin. Examples of 

this class include Santa Eulalia (MXCH 105), Saucillo-Naica 

(MXCH 168), La Ojuela (MXDR 76), and other similar deposits

LIGHT METALS 

ALUMINUM (AL) 

Most aluminum is derived from bauxite, which consists of 

one or more hydrous oxides formed by surficial leaching of 

aluminous silicates under tropical or subtropical weathering 

conditions. The parent rock may be intrusive or extrusive igneous or, more commonly in North America, limestone or other 

sedimentary rock containing aluminous impurities. On the 

Caribbean Islands (JMJM, DRDR, and HAHA), bauxite occurs 

as concentrations of soft earthy material in Miocene limestone 

sinkholes and channels in karst depressions. 

In Arkansas, Alabama, and Georgia, low-·grade bauxite deposits occur on a mantle of residual clay that represents a 

pre-Tertiary weathering surface. 

As aluminum ranks third in abundance in the Earth's crust, 

after oxygen and silicon, many alternatives to bauxite are 

available as potential sources, but most are not competitive

MAGNESIUM (MG) 

Magnesium is the eighth most abundant element of the 

Earth's crust and one that occurs in many forms and geologic 

environments, both as minerals and in brines. Although a 

major industrial source of magnesium today is brines, and especially seawater, only deposits of the carbonate, magnesite, 

some of which also contain the hydroxide brucite, are included 

here. Magnesite forms by replacement of dolomite or limestone, 

by alteration (carbonatization) of serpentine in ultramafic 

rocks, or by direct precipitation in sedimentary sequences.

TITANIUM (TI) 

The chief ore minerals of titanium are ilmenite, FeTi03, and 

rutile, Ti02• Ilmenite is the usual mineral in the titaniferous 

iron ores that normally occur in anorthosite or gabbroanorthosite complexes; in North America these complexes are 

invariably of Middle Proterozoic age. Rutile, far less common 

than ilmenite, may be hosted in igneous alkalic complexes or in 

metamorphic aluminosilicate bodies. 

Titanium-bearing sands containing accessory thorium, zirconium, and rare-earth minerals are widely distributed along 

and near the eastern coast of the United States. The largest 

deposits (USNJ 7 and USFL 3) are of Neogene age, but most are 

Quaternary or are presently forming. Numerous iron-titanium 

''black sand" deposits are widespread in the Mesozoic platform 

cover rocks of the Western United States. These "fossil placers" 

were lithified along with the enclosing bedrock following deposition in paleostream channels.

deposits were included in which gold is a minor commodity, but 

one ordinarily recovered, the totaJ number would be increased 

substantially. 

Most gold occurs as the native metal in the primary deposits; 

in a few it forms tellurides. Some silver is invariably alloyed 

with it, although not necessarily reported. Where it is a secondary or minor commodity, gold may be incorporated in sulfides 

of iron, copper, zinc, or other metals and recovered only during 

their refining. 

The weight and chemical inertness of gold cause it to accumulate in placers which frequently are clues to the bedrock 

deposits from which it came. Bedrock deposits have been emphasized in the file. 

Generalizations concerning the occurrence of "bedrock" gold 

are hazardous and subject to exception: 

The deposits in the Shield and its outliers are largely in 

greenstone belts (geologic environment coded 3-5) and associated with granitic intrusions (geologic environment coded 4). 

Most are Archean (geologic environment coded 1); some are 

younger. Gold is usually the only product. Vein deposits 

greatly predominate, but there is some evidence that the gold 

may originally have been strata-bound and redeposited in fractures. 

The Cordilleran deposits are more likely to contain associated metals, especially silver. Two somewhat overlapping

groups of deposits may be distinguished, those hosted in 

"geosynclinal" rocks (sedimentary and (or) marine volcanic 

rocks) or their metamorphosed equivalents, and those in essentially undeformed terrestrial volcanic rocks. Granitic intrusive 

rocks are commonly associated with both groups, although they 

may not be exposed in the second. Mineralization ages of the 

first group are mostly Mesozoic or Early Tertiary (age coded 4 

to 6+ ), of the second, mid-Tertiary (age coded 7). Veins predominate. 

Only minor amounts of gold have been found in the Appalachian region, and virtually none in the Platform except 

along its western margin where granitic magmas related to 

Cordilleran tectonics intruded older rocks.

PLATINUM-GROUP ELEMENTS (PGE) 

Platinum-group elements (platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, and ruthenium) occur together in varying proportions, principally as metallic alloys but also as sulfides, 

arsenides, and antimonides. Their chief association is with ultramafic and mafic igneous rocks, especially with nickelcopper ores, where they are usually co- or byproducts and may 

be present in only very low tenors relative to the principal 

metals. The principal North American source of PGE's, the 

Sudbury nickel district (CAON 187), contains platinum but it 

does not appear here. A second potentially important source 

has been identified in the Stillwater Complex of Montana 

(USMT 84): platinum will be the principal product if and when 

this deposit is developed (American Metal Market, 1983). 

Because PGE's are very heavy and inert, they may form 

placers if appropriate bedrock sources are present. Small quantities have been recovered from gold placers in the 

"eugeosynclinal" areas of the Cordillera, but in only one deposit, USAK 140, are they the principal commodity . 

Only two platinum-group elements are actually cited in the 

data base-platinum (PT) and palladium (PL). Unspecified

SILVER (AG) 

Silver occurs in nature in a large number of forms: as native 

metal, in sulfides, sulfosalts with antimony or arsenic, antimonides, tellurides, and halides, and as minor constituents of 

oxide, carbonate, and sulfate minerals. 

Silver probably has the greatest variety of deposit types and 

commodity associations of any of the elements. With few exceptions, it is always accompanied by other metals, which in by far 

the greatest number of deposits are lead, zinc, and (or) copper. 

However, silver-gold ores with no or only minor base metals 

form an important class of deposits, as do the relatively rare 

but high-grade native silver-cobalt ores of Canada (CAON 

170, CAON 190, and CAON 191). If the deposits in which silver 

is a "minor" commodity, but one recovered, were included in 

the tabulation, the total number of occurrences would be increased substantially; these include the porphyry coppers and 

many strata-bound deposits, both disseminated and massive, 

that are significant sources of the metal. In contrast to gold, 

silver does not occur i:ri placers except as a minor alloying 

element. 

The majority of silver deposits are of Tertiary age and situated in the Cordillera, especially in the volcanic rocks of MexCountry/

THORIUM (TH) 

Most thorium occurs as a minor constituent in a rare-earth 

phosphate, monazite, or with uranium in silicate or oxide minerals. Because these minerals are heavy and inert, they frequently accumulate with titanium oxides in placers, which 

have been a chief source of the element to date. Major potential 

bedrock sources in North America are veins-USID 20 and 

USMT 75 (a single district)-and uraniferous conglomerates 

(fossil placers?)-CAON 158, CAON 159, and others listed 

under "Uranium."

URANIUM (U) 

The major resources of uranium in North America are in 

clastic sedimentary rocks underlain by cratonic areas of the 

continent. Relatively few deposits have a direct association 

with intrusive igneous rocks. 

Under oxidizing conditions uranium moves readily as the 

hexavalent ion in ground water; precipitation occurs as tetravalent oxide, silicate, vanadate, carbonate, or sulfate minerals where reducing conditions are encountered. The time of 

concentration of the uranium and other metals, if they are 

present, from their dispersed and generally unknown original 

sources can be specified only as younger than the age of the 

enclosing rocks-hence the large number of"+'s" in the coding. 

Mineralization is ordinarily more or less parallel to stratification (DSTR) but may be in veins or irregular (STOK). 

An oxygen-free Early Proterozoic atmosphere may have permitted the accumulation of detrital minerals to form the Elliot 

Lake and nearby deposits (CAON 158, CAON 159, CAON 160, 

and CAON 181), which strongly resemble placers although 

they are shown noncommittally as disseminated strata-bound. 

Large high-grade deposits near Lake Athabasca (CASA 1, 

CASA 2, CASA 3, CASA 5, and CASA 12 to CASA 16) are just

below or above an unconformity between crystalline rocks of 

the Shield and cover rocks of later Proterozoic age; repeated 

cycles of oxidation and reduction concentrated the ore minerals 

into veins and irregular bodies. 

Numerous districts and deposits in Colorado, New Mexico, 

Utah, Wyoming, and adjacent States are in rocks ranging in 

age from later Paleozoic to Tertiary. In the Four Corners area 

of the Colorado Plateau, vanadium is a prominent or dominant 

constituent; elsewhere the ores have little or no vanadium.

OTHER METALS 

ANTIMONY (SB) 

Antimony tends to occur alone as the sulfide stibnite in the 

simple ores that make up most of the deposits listed below or as 

sulfantimonides of copper or lead in complex base- or preciousmetal ores. In the latter, antimony may be so subordinate as to 

constitute only a "minor commodity" and thus not be included 

in this listing; indeed the major U.S. source has been the Coeur 

d'Alene region (USID 7 and USID 9) in which lead is shown as 

the principal commodity. No deposits of North America are 

shown as of large size.

BERYLLIUM (BE) 

Beryllium concentrates in late-stage magmatic fluids, forming the silicate mineral beryl that, in certain coarse-grained 

pegmatites, can be hand picked from the enclosing rock. In 

North America these deposits are typically small. In the far 

larger deposit of Spor Mountain (USUT 26), the ore mineral is 

a hydrous silicate, bertrandite, that impregnates rhyolitic ash. 

Chrysoberyl, an aluminum-beryllium oxide, is an ore mineral 

at Lost River (USAK 29), a multicommodity district listed 

under "Tin" that could become an important source of beryllium.

MERCURY (HG) 

Most mercury occurs as the sulfide cinnabar in veins, irregular replacement bodies, or disseminated along bedding in sedimentary or tuffaceous rocks. Deposition was at shallow depths 

and fairly low temperatures, which reflect, however, an increased geothermal gradient. Few deposits seem to have a direct relationship to intrusive igneous rocks, but some, notably 

the McDermitt Caldera district (USNV 26), are associated spatially with volcanic phenomena. Virtually all the deposits of 

North America are in the Cordilleran region and are geologically young, probably because any older ones have been destroyed by erosion. 

By mining standards, mercury mines are generally small, 

and most deposits are worked for their mercury content alone. 

In the past, large deposits such as New Almaden (USCA 83) 

and New Idria (USCA 86) were important sources of supply. 

But today, McDermitt, smaller deposits in California, and more 

productive districts in Mexico (MXZC 10, MXZC 31, MXZC 60,

NIOBIUM (NB) 

Niobium, also known as columbium in its industrial uses, 

forms oxides with a variety of elements. The most common ore 

mineral is pyrochlore, essentially a sodium-calcium-niobium 

oxide that typically occurs in carbonatite associated with alkaline or alkalic-mafic complexes. Important niobium-bearing 

carbonatites in the data base include Oka (CAQB 229), St. 

Honore (CAQB 161), and the Iron Hill-Gem Park area (see 

listing for "Thorium," USCO 35). An iron-manganeseniobium-tantalum series, columbite-tantalite, occurs in some 

granite pegmatites (see "Lithium," CAMB 51); these minerals 

are now relatively unimportant except as a source of tantalum. 

Multiple oxides containing titanium, uranium, thorium, and 

rare-earth elements have provided some niobium as a coproduct of uranium from placers at Bear Valley (USID 33) and

RARE-EARTH ELEMENTS8 (REE) 

The chief ore minerals of the rare-earth elements are bastnaesite, a fluocarbonate in carbonatite associated with alkaline complexes, especially that at Mountain Pass (USCA 165), 

and monazite, the phosphate that also contains thorium. Monazite is an accessory mineral in both igneous and metamorphic 

rocks, but nearly all production has been from placer concentrations with other heavy minerals, particularly those of titanium. The rare-earth elements are also present in multiple 

oxides with uranium, thorium, titanium, niobium, and tantalum. Minor quantities in apatite (essentially calcium phosphate) constitute a major potential source of rare earths because of the large tonnages of phosphorite mined and processed

STRONTIUM (SR) 

Strontium, an alkaline-earth metal, occurs as a sulfate or, 

less commonly, as a carbonate in sedimentary rocks, generally 

of the postorogenic, successor-basin type-essentially unconsolidated materials unconformable on platform sediments 

(North American Metallogenic Map Committee, 1981). The 

principal North American deposit, Lake Enon (CANS 12), is in 

an upper Paleozoic evaporite sequence.

TUNGSTEN (W) 

Nearly all tungsten deposits in North America are associated 

with and genetically related to granitic rocks or their related 

porphyries. Where these intruded calcareous sediments to form 

skarn (SKAR), the ore mineral is scheelite, the calciumtungsten oxide. Deposits of this type, sometimes called contactmetamorphic or tactite, are important commercial sources of 

tungsten in the Western Hemisphere; important examples include the Pine Creek (USCA 95), Flat River (or CantungCAMK 95), MacMillian Pass (CA YK 52), and Emerald (CABC 

335) deposits. 

Vein deposits typically have wolframite, iron-manganesetungsten oxide, as the ore mineral. Exceptions to this rule 

include Atolia (USCA 152), a quartz monzonite cut by quartzcalcite veins, and Minerva (USCA 164), quartz-scheelite veins 

cutting carbonate beds, where scheelite is the only ore mineral 

present. Tungsten-bearing manganese oxides are present in a 

few "modern" hot-spring aprons, notably Golconda (USNV 45). 

The Cordilleran region, and especially the eastern part 

underlain by continental crust, contains most of the tungsten

deposits of the continent, but the Appalachian region has a few 

important deposits as well (USNC 5). In contrast, the Precambrian rocks of the Shield are essentially lacking in tungsten, 

except for a few minor amounts in some gold veins. (The important Nederland district (USCO 38), which seems to constitute 

an exception to the preceding statements, is associated with 

Tertiary intrusions into Early Proterozoic crystalline rocks 

along the Colorado mineral belt and thus is related to 

Cordilleran orogeny.)

ZIRCONIUM (ZR) 

Zircon, zirconium silicate, is the chief ore mineral; baddeleyite, zirconium oxide, is a minor source. Zircon is a fairly common accessory mineral in both igneous and metamorphic rocks, 

but commercial production of zirconium is entirely from placers 

mined for titanium. At Kringlerne (GLGL 29) the potential ore 

mineral is eudialite, a hydrous silicate of zirconium with 

sodium and other elements in a layered nepheline syenite complex.

BARITE (BA) 

Commercial deposits of barite, barium sulfate, occur chiefly 

in sedimentary rocks and only rarely seem to have direct igneous affiliations. The massive disseminated (MSTR) ores are 

generally hosted in siliceous shale or chert and commonly exhibit distinct bedding structures; they seem to be essentially 

syngenetic with the enclosing rocks. In the disser.ainated 

strata-bound (DSTR) ores, the barite tends to be in veins, pods, 

or irregular replacement masses in carbonate rocks; production 

is largely from clayey residuum that resulted from weathering 

of the limestone and concentration of the insoluble barite. 

With the exception of the Shield, barite is rather widely 

distributed in North America. In the United States, most barite 

resources occur in massive strata-bound deposits, principally 

in Nevada and Arkansas; vein (and cavity filling) deposits predominate in the Cordillera province in rocks of Precambrian to 

Tertiary age; and residual deposits, derived from Cambrian 

and Ordovician limestone and dolomite, are found chiefly in 

Missour4 Georgia, and Tennessee . Large_ bedded deposits of 

barite and associated base metals occur in Paleozoic shales of 

the Selywn basin, Yuk~n Territory (CAYK), and elsewhere in 

the Cordillera of British Columbia (CABC). 

Few detailed descriptions of the barite resources in Mexico 

have been published. Deposits are reported in about 20

(Brobst, 1970, p. 12). Only the major resources are reported in 

the data base. These are located in the States of Coahuila 

(MXCO) and Nuevo Leon (MXNL). Most occur as vein deposits 

in sedimentary rocks of the miogeosynclinal type. Large deposits of black bedded barite similar to those of Nevada have 

been reported in northern Mexico (Brobst, 1983, p. 492).

BoRON (B) 

The ore minerals of boron are hydrated borates of sodium and 

(or) calcium; interstitial boron-bearing brines are also sources. 

Deposits of North America are restricted to geologically young 

continental basins with internal drainage (not connected to the 

sea) in the Basin and Range province of the Cordillera. The 

categorization of the largest deposit, Kramer (USCA 154), as a 

chemical precipitate and the others as evaporites is not particularly significant and may not be valid, as all depend on desicCountry/

CRYOLITE (CRYOLITE) 

Cryolite, the sodium-aluminum fluoride, has been found in 

commercial quantities only at one place in the world, Ivigtut, 

West Greenland. The lvigtut deposit (GLGL 24) occurs in an 

alkaline, postorogenic intrusive of Middle Proterozoic age 

(Nielson, 1973, p. 34-36). The deposit, which has been exhausted, was mined from the middle of the 19th century until 

1962. Total production came to 3.5 million metric tons. Synthetic cryolite now satisfies industrial demand.

DIAMOND (DIA) 

The principal host rock of diamond is kimberlite, an alkalicmafic rock derived directly from the mantle, where the diamonds formed under the ultra-high pressures and temperatures existing there. Kimberlites and to a lesser extent 

lamproites, another type of diamond-bearing rock, occur as volcanic pipes, fissures, and vents that are windows through the 

crust into the lithosphere and upper mantle. These "windows" 

range in depth from 120 to 200 km. In addition to the one 

kimberlite in North America that has yielded diamonds, USAR 

10, a few presently noncommercial diamondiferous pipes have 

been found in the Front Range near the Colorado-Wyoming 

border (McCallum and Mabarak, 1976; Hansel and others, 

1981). The discovery, from time to time, of alluvial diamonds in

GYPSUM (GYP) 

The sulfates of calcium, anhydrite and the hydrated form, 

gypsum, are very widely distributed in evaporite basins covering hundreds of thousands of square miles on the Platform and 

in less extensive basins along both the Appalachian and 

Cordilleran chains. Although, with a few exceptions, only areas 

where gypsum has been mined are indicated on the map and 

identified in the file, an idea of the total extent of the major 

basins may be gained from the outlines shown on the Metallogenic Map for salt (sodium chloride-NaCl). Deposits have 

varying ages: Cambrian near the Arctic Circle, Devonian in 

the mid-continent, and Permian in the basin extending from 

the Central United States nearly to the border with Mexico. 

Triassic and Jurassic evaporites rim the Gulf of Mexico and 

extend into northern Central America.

KYANITE GROUP (KYN) 

Kyanite and the related minerals sillimanite and andalusite, 

which are aluminum silicates, result principally from the regional metamorphism of siliceous-aluminous sediments. Although most production is from bedrock deposits, kyanite 

group minerals may also be concentrated in placers.

PHOSPHORUS (P) 

Phosphorus ores consist of one or more minerals of the apatite group, which is essentially calcium phosphate that contains small and variable amounts of hydroxyl, fluorine, and (or) 

chlorine and a number of metals, including uranium and the 

rare-earth elements, in the molecular structure. Apatite occurs 

in igneous rocks, especially of the alkalic-mafic type; in extensive marine sedimentary deposits commonly known as phosphorites; and in "guano type" deposits derived from the excrement of birds or, to a minor extent, of bats (see Hutchinson, 

1950). Secondary enrichment of each type may take place by 

leaching of associated minerals, with or without formation of 

new apatite by reaction of phosphoric solutions with underlying rocks, usually limestone. 

Phosphorites are by far the most important; they range in 

age from Precambrian to late Tertiary and are no doubt forming today. The chief North American phosphorites are in the 

Phosphoria Formation and others of late Paleozoic age in Idaho 

and adjacent States, in upper Tertiary strata along the SouthCountry/

POTASSIUM (K) 

Ore minerals of potassium are chlorides and sulfates, with or 

without other metals, principally magnesium, that result from 

the progressive concentration of seawater in evaporite basins. 

As these minerals are among the last to form, they tend to 

localize in the central parts of basins within an outer zone of 

sodium chloride. (Even here they occur as layers or replacement masses in or mixed with the salt.) By far the largest 

North American potassium resource is in the Devonian basin 

in Saskatchewan (CASA), Canada (Adams, 1975); the nine entries for this Province show mine sites only, indicated by"--"; 

the map indicates the area underlain by potassium ores. 

Potassium that has not crystallized to ore minerals is also 

recovered from brines as a co- or byproduct; some of these are 

of nonmarine origin. 

The sole exception to an evaporate source cited in the listing 

is the Marysvale district (USUT 42), where alunite, hydrous

SODIUM SALTS 

The sodium minerals of commerce are chlorides (halite or 

common salt), sulfates, and carbonates. All deposits are evaporites, generally defined as marine or nonmarine (Smith and 

others, 1973). Production is by conventional mining, by pumping and evaporation of natural (noncrystallized) brines, or by 

injection of water into ore horizons to create new brines (solution mining). 

The file attempts to distinguish the various ore types, but 

because of uncertainties concerning the mineral species 

present, and perhaps because mixtures occur, a few entries 

have been shown simply as sodium (NA). (Very little elemental 

sodium is produced, however; these entries undoubtedly contain one or more of the compounds mentioned above.) 

Halite, the most abundant species, occurs principally in very 

extensive marine evaporites of Paleozoic and Early Mesozoic 

ages. The file does not give an adequate idea of their size and 

location because, with a few exceptions, only areas where mining has been carried out are cited; consequently, the map 

should be consulted. The largest basins are in platform cover 

rocks; others are in miogeosynclines and successor basins. 

The other sodium minerals occur principally in much smaller 

nonmarine evaporite basins of Cenozoic age. These may contain appreciable quantities of sodium chloride also, but they 

are mined for the less common (and more valuable) minerals. 

Some deposits yield by- or coproduct elements, including boron, 

potassium, lithium, magnesium, and (or) other commodities; 

they vary greatly in their compositions (see, e.g., Mannion 

(1975) and Weisman and Tandy (1975)). 

The chief sulfate minerals are mirabilite (hydrous) and 

thenardite (anhydrous) sodium sulfate. The deposits cited are 

associated with lakes or playas near the western edge of the 

Great Plains in Southern Canada and the Northern United 

States, but many other occurrences are known (e.g., Searles 

Lake, see listing for "Boron," USCA 147; Great Salt Lake, 

USUT 5) in the Basin and Range province and elsewhere. 

Numerous minerals contain sodium carbonate with or without varying amounts of water of crystallization, chloride, sulfate, or carbonate radicals, or other elements (aluminum, calcium, magnesium, potassium). The chief ore mineral, however, 

is trona, sodium bicarbonate, which occurs in very extensive 

lake beds of Eocene age in Wyoming. These now provide, with 

brine from Searles Lake, most of the world production of natural sodium carbonate, which is replacing the manufactured 

variety that was formerly the chief souce (Mannion, 1975). 

Little information is available on the occurrence and purity of 

the other deposit listed, MXSN 1, except that it is of recent age 

in the arid environment at the head of the Gulf of California; 

it seems possible that much of it consists of halite.

SULFUR (S) 

Sulfur is widespread and is produced from many sources, 

including as a by- or coproduct of metallic sulfide ores, of natural gas and petroleum, and of coal. Only deposits of elemental 

(native) sulfur are listed here. Small occurrences of volcanic 

origin are known in Central America, but the overwhelming 

proportion of native sulfur resulted from the action of anaerobic bacteria on calcium sulfate (anhydrite or gypsum) in the 

presence of hydrocarbons. The process involves reduction of the 

sulfate to hydrogen sulfide and the subsequent oxidation of the 

sulfide to elemental sulfur. A number of conditions must be 

met for this process to be effective: the evaporite must be at a 

fairly shallow depth, petroleum or natural gas must be available (the bacteria use hydrocarbon as their energy source), and 

impermeable strata must be present to prevent escape of the 

hydrogen sulfide gas to the atmosphere (Bodenlos, 1973, 

p. 610-613). 

Two structural situations in North America meet these con-

atively few domes have sulfur deposits, however. (2) Moderately deformed upper Paleozoic anhydrite in west Texas lies 

near the surface and has in places been brecciated sufficiently 

to permit accumulation of the necessary petroleum from 

nearby sources. These two environments have been distinguished in the coding as stockwork (STOK) and strata-bound 

(DSTR), respectively. A small deposit in Nova Scotia, CANS 

24, is similar to those in west Texas.

MAJOR COMMODITIES NOT REPORTED AS 

THE PRINCIPAL MINERAL COMMODITY 

Of the 56 commodities contained in deposits as 

major commodities, only seven metals and minerals are not reported as "principal" (see table 1). 

These seven metals or minerals and the number 

frequency of occurrences in the data base (see 

table 3), are cadmium (11), tantalum (8), bismuth (7), arsenic (6), selenium (3), cesium (1), and 

tellurium (1). 

CADMIUM (CD) 

Cadmium occurs in sulfide base-metal and 

precious-metal ores, principally in deposits containing zinc. Deposits in the Metallogenic Map 

file containing cadmium as a major commodity 

are silver (CABC 101, CABC 259, and CABC 324), 

copper (CANF 29 and CAQB 134), lead (CABC 

329 and CANB 6), and zinc (CABC 327, CABC 

334, CANB 2, and CA YK 88). 

TANTALUM (TA) 

Tantalum is found chiefly with niobium because of the strong geochemical affinity between 

the two metals (Parker and Fleischer, 1968). 

Tantalum-bearing niobium deposits in the data 

base include CAMK 76, CAMK 83, CAMK 84, and 

CAQB 155. Tantalum also occurs in pegmatites 

having beryllium (CAMK 68A and CAMK 70) or 

lithium (CAMB 51 and USNM 11) as the principal 

commodity. 

BISMUTH (81) 

Bismuth is obtained largely as a byproduct 

from ores of other metals, principally lead and 

copper (CAQB 169). Lesser amounts of bismuth 

are associated with molybdenum (CANS 10, 

CAQB 110, and CAQB 132), cobalt (CAMK 59), 

silver (CAMK 28 and USUT 7), gold, tin, tungsten, and zinc. 

ARSENIC (AS) 

Geochemically, arsenic is similar 1 to antimony 

and bismuth. It forms sulfosalts, arsenides, and 

antimonides with various heavy metals and 

shows a preference for combining with copper, 

iron, nickel, and cobalt (Gualtieri, 1973, p. 53). In 

the Metallogenic Map file, arsenic-bearing minerals are reported in six deposits: gold (CAQB 105, 

CAQB 115, and USNV 37), silver (USUT 7), 

copper (CABC 270), and antimony (CANF 40). 

SELENIUM (SE) 

Most selenium is recovered as a byproduct of 

copper refining (Edelstein, 1983, p. 941). The only 

occurrences of selenium reported in the data base 

as major commodities are those in primary copper 

(CAQB 113), nickel (CAON 187), and uranium 

(USWY 36) deposits. 

CESIUM (CS) 

Cesium compounds are obtained from the mineral pollucite, (Cs,Na)2Al2Si40 12·H20, which is 

recovered as a coproduct of mining lithium pegmatites (Bascle, 1981, p. 161-162). The Bernie 

Lake lithium deposit (CAMB 51) contains the 

only reported occurrence of cesium as a major 

commodity in the data base. 

TELLURIUM (TE) 

One occurrence of tellurium is reported in the 

data base. It is in the nickel-copper ore of Sudbury, Ontario (see listing for "Copper," CAON 

187). Tellurium minerals are also present in 

minor quantities in other ·base- and preciousmetal ores. The primary source of tellurium is as 

a byproduct of copper refining (Loebenstein, 1981, 

p. 926).

APPENDIX A: 

EXPLANATION OF DEPOSIT CODE 

The .tables in this appendix explain the deposit 

codes used in the "Commodity Directories." Table 

A-llists the four-letter abbreviation identifying 

the country and political subdivision of the deposit. Tables A-2 through A-7 explain the abbreviations for the geologic characteristics of each 

deposit. The tables are arranged in the order in 

which the abbreviations (numbers and letters) appear in the deposit code (see fig. 3). For some de-' 

posits, not all parts (characters) in the deposit i 

code have been reported. Guild (198la, p. A3-

A10) contains a more detailed discussion of the 

deposit codes used in this report.
