Launch of Global Mineral Chemistry Database Enhances Critical Minerals Research
The CMiO-MIN database aims to improve understanding of critical minerals, aiding exploration and resource assessment globally. Developed through a collaboration between Geoscience Australia, USGS, and the Geological Survey of Canada, it enhances data accessibility essential for future supply.

The Critical Minerals in Ores - Mineral Chemistry database (CMiO-MIN) has been launched to support exploration and resource assessment in critical minerals. Developed through the Critical Minerals Mapping Initiative (CMMI), it involves partnerships with Geoscience Australia, the United States Geological Survey (USGS), and the Geological Survey of Canada.
CMiO-MIN enhances the existing database by integrating chemistry data with deposit classifications. This initiative is vital for improving access to reliable data on critical minerals, which are essential for global supply chains. The collaboration aims to strengthen research insights and resource evaluation, potentially influencing future mineral exploration strategies.
