MineMatch®
MineMatch® is a
computer program which assists
geologists to formally document and compare exploration prospects, mineral
deposits and mineral deposit models.
MineMatch-generated comparisons help geologists, analysts and investors to
make better investment decisions.
MineMatch saves time, aids accuracy, and is an essential tool in any
"due diligence" investigation.
MineMatch Version 4, released in April
2005, includes the new
Micronex Taxonomy of Minerals, as well as definitions
of all rocks in the BGS
Rock Classification System

Data
Metallogenica (DM) project. DM photographs, like MineMatchTM
descriptions, greatly assist in the recognition of important similarities
and differences between mineral deposits. Click

for more on using these resources together, and for a list of deposits which
are both described in MineMatch® and photographed on
DM. |

[* MineMatch provides ranked classifications, based on the information in
MineMatch descriptions. These descriptions may not be complete, and
hence the rankings may not be the most accurate possible. They are,
however, usually highly informative, and useful to those interested in the
similarities and differences between mineral deposits.] |

knowledgebase provided with MineMatch®, please examine

here to to view the
categories and hierarchies of geological "settings" which are
recognised by MineMatch. Researchers in the Geological Survey of
Canada and the USGS are currently developing more formal standard classification
systems for geological settings, which, if appropriate, will be adopted by
MineMatch.
The "MOD Squad" web site (see button on left) tracks
developments in this regard. |
| Also on display is the BGS Rock Classification
hierarchy (1.3Mb, slow on a telephone line, but worth the wait).
This classification system, and many others, can be downloaded from the
