Abstract

Three ore deposits databases from previous studies were evaluated and combined with new known mineral occurrences into one database, which can now be used to manage information about the known mineral occurrences of Mauritania. The Microsoft Access 2010 database opens with the list of tables and forms held within the database and a Switchboard control panel from which to easily navigate through the existing mineral deposit data and to enter data for new deposit locations. The database is a helpful tool for the organization of the basic information about the mineral occurrences of Mauritania. It is suggested the database be administered by a single operator in order to avoid data overlap and override that can result from shared real time data entry. It is proposed that the mineral occurrence database be used in concert with the geologic maps, geophysics and geochemistry datasets, as a publicly advertised interface for the abundant geospatial information that the Mauritanian government can provide to interested parties.
