At this point it is essential to read Appendix 1: The MineMatch Framework for Describing Mineral Deposits and Deposit Models.
The first step in adding a deposit or model to a database is to "create the entity".
To add a new deposit, follow these steps:
(1) Ensure that a user database is open in the "User Instances" window
(2) Right-click in the user-instances window, and select "Edit Mines"
(3) In the Mineral Deposit Description Panel which appears, the following form pops up:
Enter your chosen Contact Name (and email address, if you are prepared to share the description and be contacted by other parties in this regard), and the reference on which the description is based. Click OK. (NOTE: The diagram above does not match the Session Info screen which is now current in MineMatch.)
(4) Click on the Edit -> Create New Instance menu item.
Enter the name and click Create.
Now add attributes to the instance as described in the Add Attribute Panel section.
