___________________________________________________________________________
Resources of geoscientific information in Africa are very scarce and difficult to come by.
There are 55 countries in Africa.
Research has been undertaken by staff at The Technical Library to compile an up-to-date list of these resources by country, including Government Ministries, Geological Survey Departments, Geological Societies and Organizations, University Research Departments and any other information relevant to global geoscientists and companies conducting exploration in Africa.
The poster presentation will be a large map of Africa with information from each country shown within each countries’ borders.
A hand-out at the poster presentation will include a complete list of resources by country and by commodity.
