The purpose of this report is twofold: first, to show mineralized areas within the Basin and Range province in Arizona that contain any of the following elements; copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum, iron, manganese, barium, mercury, gold, silver, platinum, beryllium, lithium, tungsten, tin, fluorine, vanadium, or uranium: second, to classify the areas on the basis of age and type of deposit rather than on geographical or political criteria. Excluded are areas that contain building materials, sand and gravel, placer deposits of various minerals, and areas that contain only iron deposits. The areas shown either (1) have produced ore (Keith and others, 1983), (2) have mine workings to suggest past production, (3) are described in publications that verify past production or drilled out reserves of ore, (4) are mentioned in unpublished reports that contain assay information indicating the presence of metals (Arizona Department of Mineral Resources, unpub. data), or (5) have been investigated by mining companies who have documented the presence of mineralized material. The map does not purport to delimit all the mineralized terrane within the Basin and Range province in Arizona, but rather delimits “Mineralized Areas”, areas of known mineralization documented by one or more of the above sources. The boundaries of the Mineralized Areas on the map are, with some minor exceptions, the same as those of the Metallic Mineral Districts of Keith, Gest, and DeWitt (1983).
