Abstract:

Mineral Terranes (MTAs) for the state of Alaska -
Resource Data, Inc. completed a series of edits and updates to digital data
files for the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM). Revisions to the Mineral
Terranes Areas of Alaska (MTA) maps were completed based on information
and digital data supplied by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and Alaska Earth
Sciences. A new data set of Known Mineral Deposit Areas in Alaska (KMDA)
was also developed.

Purpose:

The compilation is designed to show areas of the state with potential for the discovery of resources of metallic minerals.

Intended use of data: Base layer for spatial analysis.

Supplemental_Information:

Resource Data, Inc. completed edits and updates to the ARC/INFO data based on direction from Alaska Earth Sciences and the U.S. Bureau of Mines.

Revisions: None

Reviews_Applied_to_Data: The data were reviewed by Alaska Earth Science of Anchorage and the U.S. Bureau of Mines.
