Publication_Date: 2010 Title: Major, rare earth, and trace element data from stream-sediment samples previously collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in the Iliamna, Lake Clark, Lime Hills, McGrath, Seldovia, Talkeetna, and Tyonek 1:250,000-scale quadrangles, Alaska and reanalyzed in 2007-2009 Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: tabular data Series_Information: Series_Name: U.S. Geological Survey Data Series Issue_Identification: 532 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Reston, VA Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/532/ Description: Abstract: During the 1960s through the 1980s, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted reconnaissance geochemical surveys of drainage basins throughout most of the Iliamna, Lake Clark, Lime Hills, and Talkeetna 1:250,000-scale quadrangles and parts of the McGrath, Seldovia and Tyonek 1:250,000-scale quadrangles in Alaska. The purpose of these geochemical surveys was to provide data necessary to assess the potential for undiscovered mineral resources and to provide data that may be used to determine regional-scale element baselines. This report provides new data for 1,075 of the previously collected stream-sediment samples. The new analyses include a broader spectrum of elements and provide data that are more precise than the original analyses. All samples were analyzed for As by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS), for Au, Pd, and Pt by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry after lead button fire assay separation (FA/ICP_MS), and for a suite of 55 major, rare earth, and trace elements by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) after sodium peroxide sinter at 450° Celsius. Purpose: In preparation for future mineral resource assessments some of those original samples (about 6 percent) were selected for reanalysis because recently developed analytical methods can detect additional elements of interest and have lower detection limits than the methods used when these samples were originally analyzed. These samples were reanalyzed to determine if the original analyses are adequate for a regional-scale mineral resource assessment, to determine if the original data are adequate to establish regional-scale baselines for elements of interest, and to incorporate additional analyses of elements, such as platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and rare earth elements (REE).

The accuracy of the data varies with the analytical methodology and with the concentration of the element being analyzed. Please see USGS Open-File Report 02-0223 (http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2002/ofr-02-0223/) and the USGS Mineral Resources Program Contract Laboratory Method Summaries web site (http://minerals.cr.usgs.gov/projects/analytical_chem/references.html) for specific details on the sample preparation and analytical methods used for this report. Logical_Consistency_Report: All of the location coordinate and analytical data fields have been formatted as numeric fields. Maximum and minimum values were calculated to insure that valid results were reported for each analytical value; that is all values are greater than zero (0) and not less than the element lower reporting limit for each analytical method. Latitude/Longitude coordinates were checked to insure they plotted in the correct 1:250,000-scale quadrangle. Completeness_Report: Samples to be reanalyzed were randomly selected from 10 x 10 km (6.2 x 6.2 mi) grid cells that we overlaid on the study area to ensure a relatively even sample distribution. When available, two samples were selected from each cell. Archived material sufficient for re-analysis was not available for all samples initially selected. When possible, new selections were made in an attempt to continue to have two samples from each cell. The selected samples were reanalyzed to determine if the original analyses are adequate for regional-scale mineral resource assessment, if the original data are adequate to determine regional-scale baselines for elements of interest, and to incorporate additional analyses such as platinum and palladium and rare earth elements (REE). Original analyses, many of which are by semiquantitative methods, may be found in the Rock Analysis and Storage System (RASS) component of the National Geochemical Database (NGDB), but are not included in this dataset. The geographic extent of this area includes the Iliamna, Lake Clark, Lime Hills, McGrath, Seldovia, Talkeetna, and Tyonek 1:250,000-scale quadrangles in Alaska. All of the 1,075 samples retrieved from the Building 810 archive at the Denver Federal Center for this report were reanalyzed for As by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS), and for a suite of 55 major, rare earth, and trace elements by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-AES-MS). Most of these samples were also reanalyzed for Au, Pd, and Pt by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry after fire assay separation (FA/ICP_MS) however several samples did not contain enough material (30 g.) to be analyzed. These samples are noted in the data table with "ins" in the fields (columns) for Au, Pd, and Pt. All sample analyses were completed in 2007-2009 at a laboratory under contract to the USGS. Contract laboratory oversight, data entry into the USGS National Geochemical Database, and analytical data QA/QC are managed by David E. Detra, David L. Fey, and Richard M. O'Leary at the USGS in Denver, CO. This report consists of 4 files. The first PDF file (ds532.pdf) contains introductory and explanatory text and a table with the upper and lower reporting limits for each element analyzed by the various analytical methods used for this data set. The second file is a PDF (ds532_plate01.pdf) image showing the location of the 1,075 stream-sediment samples reanalyzed for this report. The third file contain the sample identification, location, and analytical data for each sample reported. This data are available in five formats: spreadsheet (ds532_appendix_a.xls, ds532_appendix_a.xlsx, ds532_appendix_a.ods), database (ds532_appendix_a.dbf), and ASCII (ds532_appendix_a.csv). The location coordinate and analytical data fields were formatted as numeric fields in MS Excel to preserve the formatting when converted to the database format.

Latitude and longitude values are specified in decimal degrees. The original sample location data were recorded in a variety of formats (decimal degrees, degrees plus decimal minutes, degrees-minutes-seconds). Most of the coordinates were originally determined in the field using clear mylar graticules overlaid on a paper 1:63,360-scale topographic base maps in degrees, minutes, and seconds or in the office using a tablet digitizer. When submitters reported locations as degrees, minutes, and seconds of latitude and longitude the accuracy should be within a few seconds or about 200 feet. The horizontal datum used is North American Datum of 1927. The ellipsoid used is Clarke 1866. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: 1. One thousand seventy five stream-sediment samples that were previously collected in west-central Alaska by several USGS scientists were retrieved from the USGS sample storage archive in Building 810 at the Denver Federal Center and chemically analyzed. All samples were analyzed for As by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (HGAAS), for Au, Pd, and Pt by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry after fire assay separation (FA/ICP_MS), and for a suite of 55 major, rare earth, and trace elements by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-AES-MS). 2. Location and analytical data were compiled in spreadsheet form (table2.xls). Columns (fields) containing numeric data such as latitude, longitude, and analytical data were formatted as numeric fields and saved.
