Summary: samples and other work from at least 60 countries, with 47 jurisdictions in North America (22 US states, 11 Canadian provinces and territories, and 14 Mexican states).
Note: this list refers to contract and research work and relevant analysed samples (including >3,000 detailed descriptions in over 400 reports)
and not to the collection of over 2,500 in-house reference samples.

No equivalent comprehensive breakdown by commodity / purpose of investigation is available at present, partly because these categories often overlap.
A partial survey of over 2,000 samples suggests the following: gold (48%); Ni-Cu-PGE (22%); VMS- sedex- porphyry- MVT- Ag (16%);
archaeology (8%); rare metals, gems and industrial minerals (3%); meteorites (2%); other geology (1%)
