Summary

The .csv table is part of a dataset package that was compiled for use as mineral assessment guidance in the Sagebrush Mineral-Resource Assessment project (SaMiRA). Mineral potential maps from previous mineral-resource assessments which included areas of the SaMiRA project areas were georeferenced. The images were clipped to the extent of the map and all explanatory text, gathered from map explanations or report text, was recorded into this table. This table is to be used in conjunction with the individual georeferenced raster images. It includes the image file name, map title and figure caption when appropriate. The images are also classified according to the legal definition of mineral resources: metallic, non-metallic, leasable non-fuel, [...]

Purpose

This data was compiled to assist with the Sagebrush Mineral-Resource Assessment (SaMiRA) project. The compiled data from previous investigations assisted 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.
