• Resumen

  • Traditional metallogenic maps are published in a variety of styles with little international standardisation. Their purpose is usually to encourage and assist mineral exploration. In that they have serious shortcomings, but they are useful in giving first impressions of geological prospectivity for conventionally classified mineral deposits and some guidance on exploration techniques. Digital information systems with vast and exciting capabilities will eventually make them superfluous.
