Supplemental Information

The Mineral Reconnaissance Programme started in 1972 following earlier work on uranium exploration. It was succeeded by the Minerals Programme in 1997. Data collected on a project basis covering many of the mineralised areas of the UK. The level of spatial detail varies from regional drainage samples collected at 1 sample per square kilometre to soil samples at 1 sample per 10 m spacing.
