Summary
Metallic minerals are elements or compounds that are generally hard, shiny, malleable, and usually have good electrical and thermal conductivity and high density. These characteristics make them desirable for use in most of the products we use every day. We have electronically compiled thousands of documents, maps, and data from multiple sources to provide access to metallic mineral data in Washington State.
