A challenge for the global economy is to meet the growing demand for commodities used in today's advanced technologies. Critical minerals are commodities (for example, elements

The USGS Spectral Library is a reference data base containing reflectance spectra, and associated sample documentation, that can be used to identify minerals, determine mineral chemistry, discriminate between vegetation species, and detect hydrocarbons and contaminants in the environment. The library is an important resource for analyzing imaging spectrometer …

Reconnaissance geochemical and mineralogical sampling was done in the Sierra Ancha Wilderness and Salome Study Area during April and May 1978. This map shows the distribution of chalcopyrite, florite, galena, scheelite, and lead-rich iron oxides in the nonmagnetic fraction of the heavy-mineral concentrate of stream sediment samples collected during the …

 · This Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides the descriptions of 11 sites that include mineral regions, mines, and mineral occurrences that contain enrichments of niobium (Nb). To be included in this data release, a site must have a contained resource and (or) past production of Nb metal greater than 10,000 metric tons, which was the approximate …

This data set consists of geologic formation contacts and polygons representing geologic units at 1:500,000 scale, created from the USGS Geologic Map of Wyoming by Love and Christiansen. Wyoming Surficial Geology. This data set represents surficial geology of Wyoming at 1:500,000 scale. Wyoming Mines and Minerals.

 · In the maps, the spatial distribution of each element or mineral is shown either by an interpolated and smoothed average color surface map or a proportional symbol map. Color classes were chosen by the authors using percentiles of the analytically determined values for each element and mineral. The interpolated grid cell values are thus portioned into 10 classes …

Sketch maps, outline maps, location maps, topographic maps, and page-sized or smaller maps of large areas with little subject information should not be entered in a map database where the user is looking for graphical information. The user can locate the text through other databases. Many site-specific reports have small maps that can lead the reader to important research in a …

In August,1996, the AASG and USGS met in in St. Louis, Missouri, to plan for development of standards and guidelines under the newly-established National Geologic Map Database. At that meeting, a Data-Capture Working Group was formed, and charged with "Providing guidance on data-capture techniques through facilitation of information exchange" and "conducting …

This map displays over 1,500 mineral facilities in Africa and the Middle East. The mineral facilities include mines, plants, mills, or refineries of aluminum, cement, coal, copper, diamond, gold, iron and steel, nickel, platinum-group metals, salt, and silver, among others. The data used in this poster were compiled from multiple sources, including the 2022 USGS Minerals …

 · For example a flattened version of the database is available in which the one-to-many relationships in MRDS are suppressed by combining them into a single field, resulting in a subset of the data that can be viewed, albeit confusingly, in a spreadsheet. The underlying database is relational with about 35 linked tables. That was the source used in this analysis. …

The AVIRIS- and ASTER-derived mineral mapping results can be readily compared using the toggleable layers in the GeoPDF file, and by using the provided GIS-ready raster datasets. The results relating to mineral occurrence and distribution were an important source of data for studies documenting the effects of mining and un-mined, altered rocks on aquatic ecosystems …
