Purpose
MILO presents a mineral database that serves as the definitive source of Oregon's important mineral background information, but also (1) serves as an integral part of comprehensive study of potential mineral resources; (2) enhances a user’s ability to test geologic and mineralization hypotheses using GIS analysis; and (3) supports modeling, such as efforts to locate "hidden" resources. The data contained in MILO likewise are essential information for researchers, developers, and policy makers interested in environmental or mineral-hazard studies in Oregon. MILO answers the fundamental question: Where are mineral resources found in Oregon?
