Description:
Abstract:
Geodatabase ardf_keywords.gdb was designed to evaluate records in the Alaska Resource Data File (ARDF; http://ardf.wr.usgs.gov) to estimate the resource potential of various mineral deposit models in the state of Alaska. The geodatabase includes point feature class ardfcomp_pnt (geospatial version of ARDF), keyword tables (list of keywords with weighting factors), keyword_ardf point feature classes (scoring results from the keyword search on ARDF records), and tables with specific ARDF records identified to be relevant to the deposit model of interest. Each point feature class is also provided as a shapefile with the same name. Each keyword table is provided as a comma separtated text file.
Purpose:
The Alaska Resource Data File, ARDF, is a database containing information about mines, prospects, and mineral occurrences in Alaska. It is used to here to analyze for the six deposit models. The ARDF records were used to create point feature class ardfcomp_pnt. To score each ARDF location, a list of keywords with weighting factors was created for each deposit model. The results of the keyword searches are contained in the deposit specific point feature classes, such as placer_keywords_ardf. The keyword search scores are used in the analysis for favorable setting for each mineral deposit type in each hydrologic subwatershed. The analyses for the PGE and sandstone uranium deposit models also used lists of specific ARDF sites to score for favorable setting.
Supplemental_Information:
The Alaska Resource Data File (ARDF; http://ardf.wr.usgs.gov) is a database containing descriptive information of mines, prospects, and mineral occurrences in Alaska. The site descriptions are compiled from published literature and from unpublished reports and data from industry, the U.S. Bureau of Mines, the U.S. Geological Survey, and other sources. Compilation of this database is an ongoing process and each record is essentially a progress report.

Source_Contribution:
The Alaska Resource Data File, ARDF, is a database containing descriptive information of mines, prospects, and mineral occurrences in Alaska. ARDF is one of the data layers used to analyze for mineral resource potential in Alaska. A list of keywords was developed for each deposit model to search for in the ARDF records. These keyword searches were weighted and scored, and then included in the analyses for mineral resource potential in the state of Alaska.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
ARDF records are maintained as a Filemaker Pro database. The records were exported to CSV file, then converted to an ESRI point feature class.
Process_Date: 2015
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Tables containing keywords and weighting factors were created for each deposit model. Keywords lists were produced for the following ARDF fields: alteration, commodities main, commodities other, deposit model, deposit model number, gangue minerals, ore minerals, production notes, and reserves. In addition, the sandstone uranium model has keyword lists for host rock and additional comments fields, and placer gold has keyword lists for site type, site status and production.
Deposit models PGE and sandstone uranium have additional tables which contain specific attributes for select ARDF localities. These attributes are used in the HUC analyses for favorable settings for these models.
Process_Date: 2015
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
A copy of point feature class ardfcomp_pnt was created for each deposit model. For each of these deposit specific feature classes, the ARDF sites were searched for the presence of the deposit's keywords in certain fields. The scores for the presence of keywords is stored in one of the appended fields.

List of elements or commodities of real or potential economic value in the site. Commodities_main is the dominant commodities of economic interest. For some deposits, the list of commodities is only a list of elements identified in a sample(s) and does not necessarily indicate the commodities that ultimately may be most important at the site. Common industrial minerals, such as sand and gravel, crushed stone, and limestone, are not included in this data base. Also not included are energy minerals, such as peat, coal, and oil and gass, although uranium and thorium are included. The data base does include certain high value industrial minerals, such as barite and rare earth elements.
