The Permian Triassic (PT) Impact Event 253 million years ago produced most mineral- & energy-resources worldwide ! The hard evidence for the correctness of this statement will be the confirmation of the 1270x950 km Permian-Triassic (PT)-Impact Crater on the ocean floor of the Arctic Sea, as described in my study. The impactor which caused the PT-Impact Crater, was a comet or asteroid with a diameter of 60 to 200 km, that contained iron, a share of precious metals (platinum group elements) and many other elements. The asteroid or comet collided with our planet at a very shallow angle. Because of this very shallow impact angle of probably less than 8°, and an estimated low impact velocity of around 8 km/s, large amounts of partly-melted material was excavated from Earth’s crust during the impact. This excavated crust material, together with large fragments of the impactor in the 10–50 km diameter-range, rich in iron and precious metals, is the ejecta-material that caused many large secondary-craters and impact structures on Earth. First I give an overview of the PT-Impact Event, before I describe some selected secondary-craters and impact-structures caused by the PT-Impact, which produced many mineral- & energy-resources worldwide. There are at least 10 secondary-impact craters with diameters ≥ 250 km and around 60 secondary craters with diameters in the 100–150 km range visible on gravity- and magnetic-anomaly maps, and on topographic- and satellite-maps. Regarding un-explored mineral resources the most interesting secondary craters are certainly located within the massive tracks of the PT-ejecta rays R1 to R4, which are clearly visible on gravity anomaly maps of Northern-Africa. Especially the craters located within Ejecta-Ray R4 should be very interesting for the oil-exploration industry ! In the Ejecta-Ray R4 area new discoveries similar to the Ghawar-oil-field in Saudi Arabia should be possible !, which is also located within R4, and was the result of a >300 km Crater ! There is a clear correlation of the main PTI-ejecta rays with the distribution of carbonatites and large oil- & gasfields, especially along Ejecta-Ray R4 (see page 17) ! Other interesting craters for exploration are the >350 km Bengal Bay Crater (India), the Victoria Lake Crater & EIC and the Congo Crater (CIC) in Africa, the Port Headland Crater & the Southern Ocean Craters in Australia, and the big Pantanal-Crater in South-America.
