Well – this is a link for my geology course: Minerals and Metals Produced in Canada.
This site is reasonably up to date, and contains succinct summaries of the resources produced through mining in Canada.
The page has a link to the Canadian Minerals Yearbook, another good source for this information.
Doing some digging around in geo-sites as well as looking for three-d matrix software (strange obsession, really). I found this interesting effort: Earth Science Markup Language
This project is also listed on SourceForge.
Not sure what I am going to do with this yet.. but I thought I would store it here.
