The fieldwork combined in situ and camp-based spectral measurements of talus/soil and rock samples. Soil samples were analyzed by x-ray diffraction and soil and rock samples were submitted for quantitative geochemical analysis (55 element, major and trace elements) to establish mineralogical and geochemical character. The results and site photographs are presented in a geodatabase that accompanies this report. The spectral, mineralogical and geochemical characterization of these samples and the sites that they represent can be used to validate existing remote sensing datasets (e.g., ASTER) and future hyperspectral studies. Empirical evidence of jarosite, as identified by x-ray diffraction and spectral analysis, corresponding with gold concentrations in excess of 50 ppb in soil samples, suggests that surficial mapping of jarosite in regional surveys may be useful for targeting mineral resources. Purpose: The purpose of this Data Series is to compile, organize, and archive field data collected July 2013 with analytical results for use in a geodatabase format containing site locations, results, and sample photographs. The results presented in this data series were collected in preparation of future imaging spectroscopy collections and will be used for validation of the remote sensing data. These results could also be used to validate existing data such as Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). Supplemental_Information: This dataset was developed using a Geographic Information System (GIS). The GIS software used to develop this dataset was Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI, Inc.) ArcDesktop 10.2.2. The geodatabase and shapefile structures are described below. GEODATABASE The geodatabase houses the main data as a feature dataset, Locations, with three feature classes: InSitu_Spectral_Measurement, InSitu_Traverse_Spectral_Measurement, and Samples. The four tables of results are also contained in the geodatabase. Western_Alaska_Range_samples_July2013.gdb\ -Locations\ ---InSitu_Spectral_Measurement ---InSitu_Traverse_Spectral_Measurement ---Samples -RESULTS_Geochemical_analysis_July2013 -RESULTS_MICA_1micron_July2013 -RESULTS_MICA_2micron_July2013 -RESULTS_XRD_analysis_July2013 The geodatabase also has ancillary relationship classes and tables that are visible to the user. The relates between feature classes and results tables are stored as individual relationship classes within the feature dataset, Locations. They are only used for the relate and use the naming convention, RELATE + feature class + results table, for example, RELATE_InSitu_Spectral_Measurement_RESULTS_MICA_1micron_July2013. -Locations\ -RELATE_InSitu_Spectral_Measurement_RESULTS_MICA_1micron_July2013 (SPECPRno) -RELATE_InSitu_Spectral_Measurement_RESULTS_MICA_2micron_July2013 (SPECPRno) -RELATE_InSitu_Traverse_Spectral_Measurement_RESULTS_MICA_1micron_July2013 (SPECPRno) -RELATE_InSitu_Traverse_Spectral_Measurement_RESULTS_MICA_2micron_July2013 (SPECPRno) -RELATE_Sample_RESULTS_Geochemical_analysis_July2013 (Sample_ID) -RELATE_Sample_RESULTS_MICA_1micron_July2013 (Sample_ID) -RELATE_Sample_RESULTS_MICA_2micron_July2013 (Sample_ID) -RELATE_Sample_RESULTS_XRD_analysis_July2013 (Sample_ID) As a result of adding photos as attachments to the feature classes a new table and relationship class are added for the sole purpose of defining that association and use the naming convention, __ + feature class + attachment details, for example, __InSitu_Spectral_Measurement__ATTACH (table) and __InSitu_Spectral_Measurement__ATTACHREL (relationship class).

Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Field collection, July 14-15, 2013 An ASD, Inc. spectrometer was used for In situ spectral measurements (speciman and traverse) at remote sites accessed via helicopter. Weather conditions were favorable for natural light conditions for measurement. Additional grab samples were also collected for further analysis (X-ray diffraction and geochemical analysis). Geotagged photographs were taken to document samples and measurements. Process_Date: 20130715 Process_Step: Process_Description: Field collection, July16-20, 2013 Weather conditions turned and samples were collected at remote sites accessed via helicopter. ASD, Inc. spectrometer was used to make spectral measurements of the samples at base camp using the light probe attachment. These samples were also collected for further analysis (X-ray diffraction and geochemical analysis). Geotagged photographs were taken to document samples. Process_Date: 20130720 Process_Step: Process_Description: Locations of samples and measurements The GPS coordinates for the in situ measurements and samples were exported to a comma-delimited file and attributed by type of collection. The locations were plotted in Arcmap as an add xy event and exported to shapefiles. Each location included the site identifier, sample identifier (Sample_ID), or the record number from the in situ measurements (SPECPRno) to relate the locations with the analysis results. Additionally the photograph identifier associated with each sample was added. Process_Date: 20130901 Process_Step: Process_Description: Geochemical analysis 48 soil (2 duplicates) and 5 rock samples were submited for analysis. Fifty-five major, rare earth and trace elements were determined for each sample by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Process_Date: 20130915 Process_Step: Process_Description: Spectroscopic Measurements U.S. Geological Survey Processing Routines in IDL for Spectroscopic Measurements (PRISM) software with the routine Material Identification and Characterization Algorithm (MICA) (Kokaly, 2011) was used to process the in situ and sample measurements. The software compared the measurements against the USGS Spectral Library (Clark and others, 2007). Ranked fits of identified materials and minerals were output as comma-delimited format files grouped into 1-micron and 2-micron categories. Process_Date: 20140515 Process_Step: Process_Description: X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis XRD analysis of the samples was conducted on the samples using the PANalytical “X’Pert Pro – MPD X-ray Diffractometer. Identification of mineral phases was done with Material Data Inc. (MDI) Jade (V 9.5) search-match software (Materials Data Inc., 2009) using the ICDD’s “2009 PDF-4” (International Centre for Diffraction Data, 2010) and National Institute Standards and Technology “FIZ/NIST Inorganic ICSD” databases (Fachinformationszentrum Karlsruhe (FIZ) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), 2014). Process_Date: 20140919 Process_Step: Process_Description: Geodatabase A file geodatabase was created to house all the location, photo documentation, and results from the field collection in July, 2013. The location feature classes were stored in a feature dataset, Location, for each collection type, In Situ specimen, In Situ traverse, and Sample. Process_Date: 20140920 Process_Step: Process_Description: Photograph documentation The attachment option for each location feature class was enabled. The available photographs documenting each sample and measurement were added as attachments. Additionally, the attribute, PhotoLink, was added to be used with shapefile versions of these data. The directory location was provided to be used with the hyperlink tool. The user sets the local base diirectory in the map document properties. In layer properties check the box next to 'Support Hyperlinks using field:', select field, 'PhotoLink', and 'Document'. Process_Date: 20140920 Process_Step: Process_Description: Results tables The geochemical, 1-micron MICA, 2-micron MICA, and XRD result tables were formatted into comma-delimited files (*.csv files) for import into the geodatabase and to be provided with the shapefile version of the data. Process_Date: 20140920 Process_Step: Process_Description: Relationship classes Relates were added between the location feature classes and the results data tables. The Location: Sample feature class has 1-to-many relationships for geochemical, MICA, and XRD results with the primary keys: geochemical (Sample_ID), MICA (SPECPRno), and XRD (Sample_ID). The in situ speciman and traverse feature classes have 1-to-many relationships with the 1-micron and 2-micron MICA results tables with the primary key, SPECPRno.
