Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
This dataset depicts mineral resources in Washington, including locations of mineral occurrence, past and current mineral producing sites, prospecting sites, and mineral processing plants. This database contains the records previously provided in the Mineral Resource Data System (MRDS) of USGS and the Mineral Availability System/Mineral Industry Locator System (MAS/MILS) originated in the U.S. Bureau of Mines, which is now part of USGS. The MRDS is a large and complex relational database developed over several decades by hundreds of researchers and reporters. This product is a digest in which the fields chosen are those most likely to contain valid information.
