The citations are used properly and the verbiage matches with Wikipedia's. So far so good. Though I do recommend expanding the article a bit more. It does not fully explain what the survey is other than mining.

Feedback
Despite this organization claims to have recently generated the most recent and thorough Mexican geological data, the documentation available on this page is nearly non-existent.

Along with their website, already linked from here, the Servicio Geologico Mexicano published a video (available in English) which will afford this article with valuable and much needed information:

Feedback
The information on the page is factually sound, but the article needs to reference more than just it's own website. The article seems relatively neutral however one could argue it is biased. Although the article is very concise it could benefit from adding information on who is on the receiving end of the mapping information they provide.

https://business-humanrights.org/en/mexico-indigenous-communities-oppose-mining-company-alamaden-minerals-claiming-lack-of-consultation-includes-company-comments This article contains lots of insightful information in regard to mining in mexico. The impact of mining on indigenous communities is something that is rarely highlighted in the media, and this article provides good information in regard to these natives. "People who live near mining projects in Mexico are often the last to learn about them." This information is good to use on our page because it looks at issues not typically highlighted by the media.

The link provides additional information about the impact of Mexico's mining plans. It is important to include information from media outlets outside of the country where the issue is because they are less biased, and provide nice insight.

All of these sources are provided by the Mexican government. You need to find some unbiased sources. HydrogeologyProf (talk) 00:28, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
