Popis: In response to the growing need for minerals information, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting a cooperative international project to assess the world’s undiscovered nonfuel mineral resources. The Global Mineral Resource Assessment Project (GMRAP) has met with member countries of the Coordinating Committee for Geoscience Programs in East and Southeast Asia (CCOP) to assess undiscovered copper, PGE and potash resources of the region. Tracts permissive for undiscovered porphyry copper and sedimentary-hosted copper deposits have been delineated and probabilistic estimates of the amount of copper resources for each tract made. Preliminary data also have been collected for PGE and potash in Southeast Asia.
