Item Information

snippet:	This dataset was developed as part of an ongoing effort by the U.S. Geological Survey to inventory public information on critical mineral deposits within the United States that have record of production and (or) resources above a specified cutoff limit. In the case of tungsten, the cutoff was set at 215 metric tons of tungsten metal. This represents, approximately the largest 10 percent of known U.S. deposits. These geospatial data provide location, geologic description, and production and resource information. In general, USGS uses this information to delineate permissive tracts (geographic areas in which specific types of mineral deposits may occur), develop assessments of potential undiscovered mineral resources, determine where and how the environmental effects of mining may be observed, and understand the natural variability found in mineral deposits of particular types. These data also support the Federal strategic objective to secure reliable supplies of critical minerals by providing information for geoscience research and mineral exploration to State and Federal agencies, private industry, and the general public.

accessInformation:	The data sets were developed by the U.S. Geological Survey Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center (GGGSC) with support from the Bureau of Land Management Solid Minerals Program. Database reviews and contributions were made by USGS personnel Stu Giles, David John, Jeff Mauk and Kim Shedd.
