Online specialist DIAMONDS or METALS databases

The DIAMONDS database is the most comprehensive, publicly available database of its kind, containing over 60,000 references related to diamond exploration and mantle rocks dating back to the late 1800's. The METALS database contains over 40,000 references specific to gold, silver, PGE, copper, zinc and uranium exploration dating back to the early 1970's. Users can make multiple basic and Boolean keyword-searches.
