9 SHORT TERM GOALS Continue adding data to the database from NMBGMR files Add detailed production data to the database Add historic uranium photos to the database Add polygon data showing extent of uranium deposits in GIS format Add new geochemical data

10 LONG TERM GOALS Combine this database with the mines database and put on the NMBGMR WEB page (1-2 years) Provide a mechanism such that when new data, especially geochemical, is acquired, the database is easily updated Add additional types of data Maintain quality control of the data
