South Africa - Digital Metallogenic Map of South Africa 1:1,000,000. 2001, CD-ROM. This CD-ROM contains a wealth of information (localities, commodities present, status, size classification, morphology, deposit/mine name) on 4,449 of the more significant mineral deposits in South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland. Mineral deposit data can be displayed on a simplified geological background (geological environment and lithology). Geological attribute data includes stratigraphic and chronostratigraphic names for each class. Structure in the form of faults or thrusts observed and faults or thrust inferred is also displayed.
Localities of important non-diamondiferous kimberlites and the outlines of mineral provinces and fields, as well as mineralised layers are included. The margins of the Ventersdorp and Witwatersrand Basins are also displayed as is the northern boundary of the Cape Basin, and the southern boundary of the Kaapvaal Craton. In addition to the borders of South Africa, all provincial boundaries, as well as 173 cities and towns are displayed on a grid of latitude and longitude.
The software ArcExplorer 2â is included for viewing, querying and printing the data.
The CD contains shp, dbf and text files.
