Metallogeny of the Great Basin: Crustal Evolution, Fluid Flow, and Ore Deposits
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The Great Basin physiographic province in the Western United States contains a diverse assortment of world-class ore deposits.
Description
It currently (2006) is the world's second leading producer of gold, contains large silver and base metal (Cu, Zn, Pb, Mo, W) deposits, a variety of other important metallic (Fe, Ni, Be, REE's, Hg, PGE) and industrial mineral (diatomite, barite, perlite, kaolinite, gallium) resources, as well as petroleum and geothermal energy resources.
Ore deposits are most numerous and largest in size in linear mineral belts with complex geology. [Summary provided by the USGS.]
