Mr. Klatt also assembled and published a comprehensive global database of the geology of conventional and unconventional platinum-group metals and their distribution as a guide for exploration. Furthermore, Mr. Klatt also created a database of exotic tectonostratigraphic terranes which are favorable for the discovery of precious metals and platinum, as well as authored a paper on copper-gold and other polymetallic mineralization.
