Mineral deposits of the Guanajuato Mining District, Guanajuato

A comprehensive synthesis of the economic geology of Mexico's Guanajuato Mining District, published in 1988 and translated into English in the early 2000s, reveals critical insights into its geothermal, coal, and metal-mining sectors. The study, led by Ing. G.P. Salas with contributions from Ing. Hugo Cortez Guzmán and Dr. Cecily Petzall, compiles data on mineral deposits available up to the mid-1980s. It highlights the district's rich diversity of non-metallic and metallic resources, including gold, silver, lead, zinc, and coal, while also addressing its geothermal potential. The research approach involved extensive fieldwork, historical documentation, and geological analysis, providing a foundational reference for understanding the region's mineral wealth. This work remains a valuable contribution to the Geology of North America series.
