PRELIMINARY METALLOGENIC MAP OF NORTH AMERICA

An Alphabetical Listing of Deposits

By Philip W. Guild

ABSTRACT The names of 4,215 ore deposits shown on the Preliminary Metallogenic Map of North America are listed in alphabetical order by country, and by subdivisions of the larger countries (Canada, Mexico, and the United States). Map numbers, major and minor constituents, geographic coordinates, and a geologic code are given for each entry.

INTRODUCTION

In Circular 858-A, the 4,215 deposits shown on the Preliminary Metallogenic Map of North America are identified by name, metal/mineral content, location, and? certain other characteristics in a listing arranged numerically by country and by State, Province, or other subdivisions in the larger countries (Canada, Mexico, and the United States). Because many of these political units have from 100 to more than 300 individual entries, a listing arranged alphabetically by name within the units is provided in this Circular to aid the user in searching for a particular deposit that may be of interest to him. (The decision to publish these

tables separately was made to avoid the problems in binding and handling that would be entailed in combining the two tables in a single volume.)

The explanatory information contained in Circular 858-A has not been repeated here; the user should refer to it for background in interpreting the entries in this Circular. This alphabetical listing differs in two respects from the numerical listing in Circular 858-A:

(1) Column headings are not repeated; the columns are, from left to right, a four-letter code identifying the country and subdivision, the map number, name, major and minor constituents, latitude and longitude, and the code.

(2) The order of the listing is alphabetical by the country/subdivision code, and by the initial letter in the deposit name. The country/subdivision code is given in the Contents; note that the order of this code does not necessarily follow in strict alphabetical order the names of the units to which they refer.
