Summary

This zip file contains geodatabases with raster mosaic datasets. The raster mosaic datasets consist of georeferenced tiff images of mineral potential maps, their associated metadata, and descriptive information about the images. These images are duplicates of the images found in the georeferenced tiff images zip file. There are four geodatabases containing the raster mosaic datasets, one for each of the four SaMiRA report areas: North-Central Montana; North-Central Idaho; Southwestern and South-Central Wyoming and Bear River Watershed; and Nevada Borderlands. The georeferenced images were clipped to the extent of the map and all explanatory text, gathered from map explanations or report text was imported into the raster mosaic dataset [...]

Purpose

These datasets were compiled to assist with the Sagebrush Mineral-Resource Assessment (SaMiRA) project. This compilation helped in determining what deposit types needed to be assessed, which deposit models were in need of being developed, and where previously determined areas of possible mineral resource potential was located.
