The data provided herein for 85 significant lode deposits is taken from USGS Open-file report OF03-220. That report provides a detailed database of lode deposits and placer districts, a bibliography of cited references, descriptions of mineral deposit models, and a mineral deposit location map. Purpose: The materials on this CD-ROM are the result of major compilations and syntheses accomplished during a six-year project. The major scientific goals and benefits of the project are to: (1) provide a comprehensive international data base on the mineral resources of the region that is the first, extensive knowledge available in English; (2) provide major new interpretations of the origin and crustal evolution of mineralizing systems and their host rocks, thereby enabling enhanced, broad-scale tectonic reconstructions and interpretations; and (3) promote trade and scientific and technical exchanges between the North America and Northeast Asia. Data from the project are providing sound scientific data and interpretations for commercial firms, governmental agencies, universities, and individuals that are developing new ventures and studies in the project area, and for land-use planning studies that deal with mineral potential and environmental issues. Northeast Asia has vast potential for known and undiscovered mineral deposits; however, before this project, no detailed mineral deposit databases were published in English in the West.
