GIS (ArcGIS or MapInfo) data sets for Central America, the Greater Antilles, Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador

Download the readme files Greater Antilles readme, Central America readme, Colombia readme, Ecuador readme or Mexico readme for a detailed database description and for pricing information.

Each database consists of modules for Geography (infrastructure, digital elevation models and shaded relief), Geology (vector files for a geologic map compiled from published sources), TS Units (a tectono-stratigraphic interpretation of the geologic map), Radiometric Dates (published radiometric dates), Prospects (metallic mineral mines and prospects), and Land Status (national parks, protected areas and metallic mineral concessions).

These databases are designed for mining and exploration companies interested in focusing quickly on 1) exploration targets with a real chance of success, and 2) acquisition candidates at every stage of development.

Multielement Geochemical Databases

Multielement geochemical data, with an emphasis on stream sediment samples, is available in vector format for Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama, Ecuador and Colombia. Sample locations and geochemical analyses are captured in vector format and more countries are being added.

These multielement geochemical databases are designed to be used with ColombiaMap, MexicoMap, EcuadorMap, GreaterAntillesMap and CentralAmericaMap but they are offered separately.

For a detailed description of the available multielement geochemical databases, click on Panama Gchem database or Dominican Republic GChem database or Nicaragua GChem database or Mexico GChem database or Colombia Gchem database or Ecuador GChem database or Jamaica GChem database or Dominican Republic GChem database.

GIS databases for Colombia, Ecuador or Mexico
Geography, Geology, TS Units (tectono-stratigraphy), Prospects, Radiometric Dates, References and Land Status, available in ArcGIS or MapInfo format. Geochemical survey data and geophysical survey data offered separately.

The Geography, Geology, TS Units, Prospects, Radiometric Dates and Land Status modules for each of these GIS databases are also available individually, as described in the readme files.

Recursos del Caribe also offers multielement geochemical data, with a focus on stream sediment geochemistry as described below

These geochemical databases supplement CentralAmericaMap, GreaterAntillesMap, ColombiaMap, EcuadorMap and MexicoMap.

Multielement Geochemical Survey Data for Mexico, Central America, the the Greater Antilles, Colombia and Ecuador
Multi-element geochemical survey data, originally published by governments and international agencies (e.g. the United Nations), now captured and provided as vector files to facilitate display and interpretation.
