Confidently assess and seize new opportunities.

Exploration always means having to deal with uncertainty, but your odds improve significantly if you can make well informed decisions using the best scientific information available.

GeofaCets enables exploration teams to:

enrich scientific analyses and risk assessments with scientific maps and information from trusted publishers and information providers

improve discovery of individual maps for geographic areas of interest and analogs

increase productivity with innovative search features and an extensive map database that allows for more thorough and efficient information gathering than traditional search methods

Society of Economic Geologists

Economic Geology contains the results of basic and applied research focused on the geology and genesis of ore deposits from throughout the world. Papers specifically include the most up-to-date geological maps of world-class ore deposits, and information regarding their tectonic setting, geological history, age of ore formation, mineralogy, hydrothermal alteration, geochemistry, structural geology, exploration guidelines, and processes of formation.
