Preliminary aeromagnetic anomaly map of California Preliminary aeromagnetic anomaly map of California

The magnetization in crustal rocks is the vector sum of induced in minerals by the Earth’s present main field and the remanent magnetization of minerals susceptible to magnetization (chiefly magnetite) (Blakely, 1995). The direction of remanent magnetization acquired during the rock’s history can be highly variable. Crystalline rocks generally contain sufficient magnetic minerals to...

Digital mining claim density map for federal lands in Oregon: 1996 Digital mining claim density map for federal lands in Oregon: 1996

This report describes a digital map generated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to provide digital spatial mining claim density information for federal lands in Oregon as of March 1997. Mining claim data is earth science information deemed to be relevant to the assessment of historic, current, and future ecological, economic, and social systems. There is no paper map included in this...

Geologic datasets for weights-of-evidence analysis in northeast Washington: 2. Mineral databases Geologic datasets for weights-of-evidence analysis in northeast Washington: 2. Mineral databases

Digital mineral databases are necessary to carry out weights-of-evidence modeling of mineral resources for epithermal gold and carbonate-hosted lead-zinc deposits in northeast Washington. This report describes spreadsheet tables consisting of: 1) training sites for epithermal gold, 2) placer gold sites, 3) training sites for carbonate-hosted lead-zinc, and 4) small lead-zinc mines and...

Geometry, structure, and concealed lithology of the San Rafael Basin, southeastern Arizona Geometry, structure, and concealed lithology of the San Rafael Basin, southeastern Arizona

The contiguous United States has been well explored for exposed conventional mineral deposits. Therefore, it is likely that many economically viable and strategically significant conventional undiscovered mineral deposits will be found in bedrock concealed beneath basin sediments. Mineral resource assessments must incorporate an understanding of the geometry, structure, and concealed...

Geologic datasets for weights of evidence analysis in northeast Washington: 3. Minerals-related permits on national forests, 1967 to 1998 Geologic datasets for weights of evidence analysis in northeast Washington: 3. Minerals-related permits on national forests, 1967 to 1998

Permits to explore for and (or) develop mineral resources on forest land can be used to indicate locations and types of mineral-related activities on national forests. Permits for these activities require filing at the Forest Service a Notice of Intention (Notice) to conduct mineral exploration activities and (or) a Plan of Operation (Plan). A Plan of Operation is required is significant
