Geological Map — Miner of Andalusia 1:400,000

The Geological-Minero Map of Andalusia at 1:400,000 scale is constituted by the geological synthesis of the territory of Andalusia and the collection of metallic-energy mining signals and mining indications of industrial rocks. The version of the map published (and now exhausted) was edited in 1985 by the Junta de Andalucía. Its elaboration was carried out on the topographic basis provided by the Military Map of Spain at 1:400,000 scale, and took as basic documentation the one elaborated and published by the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain. Specifically, the National Geological Map was used at 1:50,000 scale (MAGNA), the Metal Genetic Map of Spain at 1:200,000 scale, edited between 1973-1974, the Map of Industrial Rocks of Spain at 1:200,000 scale, edited between 1973-1974, and mining investigations of different substances carried out at different times. In short, it is a map in which the main deposits and mineral signs are located on a suitable geological background that allows, where appropriate, to reveal certain existing relationships between them and their fitting geological environment. On the map are the holdings and indications of deposits of energy products (coal, radioactive, hydrocarbons), as well as metal ores (iron, copper, lead, gold, etc.) and some non-metallic products that are usual accompanying the latter (barite, fluorite, etc.), and even some other substances such as (talc, sulphur, phosphate). Includes holdings and deposits of industrial rocks and minerals (limestones, marbles, casts, clays, etc.) The geological basis is a simplified and updated synthesis of the available geological information in which it has been tried to highlight the features of any nature (stratigraphic, structural, litological, etc.) that may have or suggest any clear relationship with the presence of mineral manifestations.
