Mexico Metallogenetic Study and Exploration Data Base
by MagmaChem, LLC
This study of the entire country of Mexico is the result of an 8-year compilation and analysis of metallogenic and petrochemical data costing over $4,000,000. All data is digitized and available on CD-Rom.
PACKAGE A
(The Basic Data Base)
1. Mineral District Maps

- Oil and gas fields outlined
- Overlain on a base map with data from the Digital Chart of the World
2. Data Base Backup for Maps (on ALCHEM archival software)
- All mineral systems are supported by a two-page geologic/exploration summary
- Over 30,000 pages of geologic-geochemical-mineralogical reference information archived on 2 CD-ROMS
3. Derivative Maps (Adobe Acrobat files on CD-ROM)
