Work was carried out at various scales, from regional reconnaissance surveys or appraisal to the drilling of a geochemical or geophysical anomaly. Projects were multidisciplinary and used a combination of tried-and-tested methods alongside innovative techniques arising from research and development programmes. By the end of the programme in 1997, 146 MRP reports had been issued covering localities across the UK, which are now available to download for free. Sixteen data releases are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n            <div class=\"btn-wrap\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/nora.nerc.ac.uk\/cgi\/search\/archive\/advanced?screen=Search&#038;dataset=archive&#038;_action_search=Search&#038;creators_editors_merge=ALL&#038;creators_editors=&#038;creators_name_merge=ALL&#038;creators_name=&#038;creators_orcid=&#038;title_merge=ALL&#038;title=&#038;date=&#038;id_number=&#038;publication_merge=ALL&#038;publication=&#038;series_merge=ALL&#038;series=Mineral+Reconnaissance+Programme&#038;divisions_merge=ANY&#038;refereed=EITHER&#038;documents_merge=ALL&#038;documents=&#038;keywords_merge=ALL&#038;keywords=&#038;abstract_merge=ALL&#038;abstract=&#038;subjects_merge=ANY&#038;rod_collaborations_merge=ANY&#038;affiliations_merge=ALL&#038;affiliations=&#038;sections_merge=ANY&#038;grant_nos=&#038;projects_merge=ALL&#038;projects=&#038;programmes_merge=ANY&#038;gtr_progs_merge=ANY&#038;res_grps_merge=ANY&#038;department_merge=ALL&#038;department=&#038;lastmod=&#038;datestamp=&#038;satisfyall=ALL&#038;order=-date%2Fcreators_name%2Ftitle\"  target=\"_blank\" class=\"button mx-0 primary-background   \">Access the reports in NORA<\/a>            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>You can also view the MRP data on the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/mapapps2.bgs.ac.uk\/geoindex\/home.html?layer=BGSMinMRP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BGS Onshore GeoIndex map viewer<\/a>.
