Minerals Yearbook: The Mineral Industries of Central America. 1988 International Review

摘要

Central America with its diversity in political structures, varied economic conditions, and small mining industries, produced a variety of metals and industrial minerals. Most countries in the area were trying to promote and facilitate international investment to develop their minerals resources. Exploration of nonfuel minerals was carried out by (or with the assistance of) several international organizations, including the British Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey. The United Nations Revolving Fund for Natural Resources Exploration, after identification and evaluation of mineral resources in the Trifino area, announced final preparation for exploration. The evaluation was directed toward precious and base metals and industrial minerals to determine economic potential for mine development.
