Geological Map - Miner of Andalusia 1:400.000

Description

The Geological-Mining Map of Andalusia at 1:400,000 scale is constituted by the geological synthesis of the territory of Andalusia and the collection of metal-energy mining signs and mining signs of industrial rocks.
The published (and now depleted) version of the map was published in 1985 by the Junta de Andalucía. Its elaboration was carried out on the topographic base provided by the Military Map of Spain at 1:400,000 scale, and took as basic documentation the one elaborated and published by the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain. Specifically, the National Geological Map at 1:50,000 scale (MAGNA), the Metal Genetic Map of Spain at 1:200,000 scale, edited between 1973-1974, the Map of Industrial Rocks of Spain at 1:200,000 scale, edited between 1973-1974, and mining investigations of different substances carried out at different times were used.
In short, it is a map in which the main deposits and mineral indications are located on an adequate geological background that allows, where appropriate, certain relationships between them and their fitting geological environment to be revealed.
The map shows the holdings and indications of deposits of energy products (coal, radioactive, hydrocarbons), as well as metal ores (iron, copper, lead, gold, etc.) and some non-metallic that are usual companions of the latter (barite, fluorite, etc.), and even some other substances such as (talc, sulfur, phosphate). Exploits and deposits of industrial rocks and minerals (limestone, marbles, plasters, clays, etc.) are included.
The geological base is a simplified and updated synthesis of the available geological information in which it has been tried to highlight the features of any nature (stratigraphic, structural, lithological, etc.) that could have or suggest a clear relationship with the presence of mineral manifestations.
