About LADD
Adapted from the BHP Global Deposits Database, and augmented by data from MinEx Consulting’s deposit database, the LithoAtlas Deposits Database (LADD) has been improved and expanded, currently containing more than 115,000 mineral deposits.
Each deposit record includes the primary commodity of interest, additional commodities/metals, qualitative size, deposit type and subtype, and increasingly, deposit age. The LADD is ideal for the greenfields explorer, consultants and researchers. It is available via subscription. For further information see the link below.
