Description:

Abstract:

Exploration of the Revett Formation has disclosed copper-silver deposits, occurrences, or prospects at 57 sites in the study area. A total of 4 of these sites have recorded production, 12 have identified resources, and 30 have mineralized domains. Deposits are sites containing identified resources of stratabound copper. An occurrence is a site containing small amounts of stratabound copper. Prospects are explored sites with characteristics that have not been confirmed to be Revett-subtype deposits but are recorded because of their historical value. The tab-delimited text file cuag_deposit.txt contains more than 55 data fields describing each of the 57 sites, including location (legal land description and latitude-longitude coordinates), county, State, mining district, references, exploration history, nature and stratigraphic position of mineralization, nature of alteration and host horizon, local structures present, production history, and resources.

Purpose:

This dataset was developed to describe the nature of mines, prospects, and mineral occurrences of strata-bound copper-silver deposits of the Revett Formation.

Supplemental_Information:

This document consists of a tab-delimited text file (cuag_deposit.txt) containing data on the nature of mines, prospects, and mineral occurrences of strata-bound copper-silver deposits of the Revett Formation.

Process_Description:

This table was created by consultation with other sources and by personal knowledge gained by the authors and their colleagues after working with these deposits over several years. The outside sources used are extensively referenced in the reference 1, reference 2, and reference 3 fields in cuag_deposit.txt. Much of the information summarized in this dataset was provided by field data and unpublished company proprietary data, this data is not included in this report.
