Mineral deposits and resources

Basic geological map of Yugoslavia presents lithological and stratigraphic characteristics of rocks, their relationships, age and other. It is a key to the understanding of the geology of Slovenia. It consists of 23 sheets, scale 1: 100.000.

The realestate cadastre is designed as an official record of data on plots, buildings and parts of buildings, which enables the registration of real rights on them (or their parts) in the land register. The realestate cadastre is the fundamental record of the Republic of Slovenia's data on the location, shape, physical and other characteristics of plots, buildings and parts of buildings, which shows the actual state of real estate. The realestate cadastre consists of registered data on plots of land, buildings and parts of buildings, as well as a collection of documents. The entered data on plots, buildings and parts of buildings, as well as the collection of documents, are kept permanently. The realestate cadastre contains data on the areas of building rights and data on the areas of enforcement of servitudes or illegal servitudes. In the realestate cadastre, as data layers, there are also data on cadastral municipalities, actual land use, areas of land creditworthiness in the layer of land creditworthiness areas and a layer of temporary entries (areas of building rights and data on the area of enforcement of easement in rem or illegal easement in rem before decided by the land register).

The underground geothermal conditions can be presented, irrespective of the aquifers' position, with the appropriate geothermal maps. This map represents the expected temperatures at a depth of 1000 m and is made with data from 302 boreholes. It is made on the basis of measured temperatures in accessible boreholes throughout the country. However, since the temperature field depends on the geological structure in the depths and tectonic characteristics, the course of the isotherms is a result of many influences, such as thermal conductivity of rocks, permeability and fracturing of rocks, all of which are reflected in the measured temperatures in boreholes. The distribution of boreholes, which were useful for the measurement of temperature, is very uneven and different as regard the depths. Following the expected temperatures at a depth of 1000 m a stronger positive anomaly is in the northeastern part of Slovenia, especially between Maribor and Murska Sobota and further to the Hungarian border and at Lendava, as well as in a smaller eastern part of the Krka basin. In the northeastern part of the country the anomaly is the result of the thinning of the Earth's crust and greater conductive heat flow from the Earth's mantle.

The underground geothermal conditions can be presented, irrespective of the aquifers' position, with the appropriate geothermal maps. This map shows the expected depths of the isotherm of 90 °C and is made with data from 191 boreholes. In a way, it is the inverse of those ordinary temperature maps showing the temperature at certain depths. It is made on the basis of measured temperatures in accessible boreholes throughout the country. However, since the temperature field depends on the geological structure in the depths and tectonic characteristics, the course contours result of many influences, such as thermal conductivity of rocks, permeability and fracturing of rocks, all of which are reflected in the measured temperatures in boreholes. The distribution of boreholes, which were useful for the measurement of temperature, is very uneven, and different as regard the depths. The map of depths to 90 °C isotherm shows a positive anomaly in the northeastern part of Slovenia. As a result of thin Earth's crust in the area and the higher conductive heat flow from the Earth's mantle, there are higher temperatures and thus are inversely smaller depths to isotherm of 90 °C.
