The Beaton map area, located in south-central , contains 222 documented mineral occurrences, including 51 past producers. The map area includes the Beaton-Camborne mining camp, most of which was updated in 1998. See Metallogeny of the Beaton-Camborne Mining Camp District (NTS 082K12 &13), by B.N. Church and L.D. Jones; article from Geological Fieldwork 1998, GSB Paper 1999-1, pages 193-222.

In April 2003, 26 occurrences, including 8 new occurrences, were updated in NTS 082K14; and 13 occurrences, including 1 new occurrence, were updated in the north part of NTS 082K11 map areas by G.
