METALLOGENICA assists mineral exploration, metallogeny, ore deposits, mineral resources, mining geology, data capture & organization, worldwide.  It is a "boutique" consultancy based in Adelaide, Australia, but with a truly global reach. Peter Laznicka, formerly professor of Mineral Deposits at the University of Manitoba for 27 years, relocated to Adelaide in 1999 and co-founded the Data Metallogenica (DM) information system where ~3800 sites (mostly metallic deposits) are represented by the actual rocks and ores not only to be seen, but also "touched" and nondestructively tested. I have worked, consulted, lectured, visited and sampled ore occurrences in 85 countries; internationally published 5 major book sets and several databases.      I offer field interpretation of mineral occurrences; global comparisons; exploration target generation; establishment of lithotheque-style records & data systems; metallogeny training and mentoring; short courses & workshops; mineral databases; data searches: worldwide, multilingual
