This map displays Latin America and Canada political boundaries alongwith the locations of more than 900 resource extraction and processingfacilities. The facilities include mines, oil and gas fields, refineries,smelters, and other processing plants of aluminum, cement, coal, copper,
gold, iron and steel, lead, nickel, salt, silver, and zinc, among others. Thedata used in this poster were compiled from multiple sources, includingthe most recent available information from the 2003 through 2005 USGS
Minerals Yearbook (Latin America and Canada volumes), MineralsStatistics and Information from the USGS Web Site
(http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/), and data collected by USGSminerals information country specialists from sources such as
statistical publications of individual countries, annual reports and press releases of operating countries, and trade journals. Data
reflect the most recent published table of industry structurefor each country at the time of this publication.
Additional information and explanation is availablefrom the country specialists.
See Table 1 for general information about eachmineral facility site including country,
location and facility name, facility type,geographic coordinates, commodity,
mining method, main operatingcompany, status, capacity, and
units.
Any use of trade, product, or firmnames is for

Country political boundaries, names, water
bodies, and graticulesare derived from
Environmental Systems Research Institute
(ESRI) world shapefiles.
Mines within the 5 enclosed regions marked A,
B, C, D, and E are labeled on the 5
corresponding large-scale inset maps.
Points on the map are mineral facility sites
plotted using the estimated coordinates shown
in table 1. Site locations are plotted according to
degree decimal notation; when an original
reference was made in degree-minute-second, it
was converted to decimal degrees and vice-
versa. Both formats are noted in the table for
reference. Precision varies where coordinates
are not available to the second.
