    Here goes the sea currents and sea temperature. This is a major advancement towards climate development.

    By the way, the channel between the two south-eastern continents, is a newly formed rift, so there's low probability of encountering a salt deposit over there. However, sulphur is probable to be found near volcanic areas such as those.
    Oil deposits are likely to have formed at the desert of the continent on the south east.
    Marble and limestone are likely to be found on the youngest mountains (composed of sedimental rocks lifted by tectonic pressure).
    Heavy metals will be scattered mostly on old plains and mountains, that have survived the erosion from the asteriod bombardment that the primitive Earth received.
    That's right, most heavy metal deposits are places where asteroids impacted Earth a long time ago, when the atmosphere was nearly non-existent.

    Here's the map of the continental platforms. In brown the platforms and oceanic dorsals, in white are either abysal plains or oceanic trenches. As you can see, on the North-West quarter of the map, off the continental platform there is a very large volcanic archipielago.

    Here are the ocean currents, dominant direction is from left to right.
    -Warm currents go in orange, from the equator towards the polar circles, and near the surface.
    -Cold currents go in blue, from the polar circles to the equator, and through deep water (mostly not over continental platforms)

    here are the main winds (blue arrows). For the most part they go the same direction as the warm sea currents.

    Next will come the map where is shown the dry/humid side of each mountain, and then the climatic map.

    Regarding climates, when a cold sea current passes near the coast, usually there won't be any evaporation on that patch of sea, so deserts tend to sprout at the coast near those zones. An example of that situation is the Nazca desert, in Peru, South America.
