Stable isotope analyses are reported (the ratios deuterium/hydrogen, carbon-13/carbon-12, oxygen-18/oxygen-16, and sulfur-34/sulfur-32) for ores and related rocks from the Pea Ridge, Lower Pilot Knob, Bourbon, Iron Mountain, and Kratz Spring iron oxide-apatite deposits in southeast Missouri; the Boss iron oxide-copper-gold deposit in southeast Missouri; the Gagaryah stratiform barite deposit in Alaska; the Canyon, Hack II, and Pigeon breccia pipe uranium deposits in Arizona; the Grasberg porphyry copper-gold deposit in Indonesia; metalliferous occurrences in the Castro Basin, southern Brazil; and the White Mountain gold deposit, Jilin Province, China.

This report and digital data release presents 131 new geochemical analyses on historic U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) samples, including 86 rock and 42 heavy mineral concentrate (pan concentrate) samples, as well as 3 samples of indeterminate type. Some of these samples were originally collected by the USBM from the Ray River watershed, and the Kanuti and Hodzana Rivers uplands, central Alaska, and a portion of the samples were collected as part of the National Uranium Resource Evaluation. Historic USBM sample materials were retrieved by DGGS from the DGGS Geologic Materials Center (GMC), where the USBM samples were transferred as part of the federally funded Minerals Data and Information Rescue in Alaska (MDIRA) program in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The text and analytical data and tables associated with this report are being released in digital format as PDF files and .csv files. We provide analytical data, detection limits and, when available, the method documentation provided to us by the lab. We also provide the sample location in geographic coordinates, the sample material cited by the originating literature, a reference to the originating report, and the type of sample material that was obtained from the archive and sent to the lab.

This report and digital data release presents 209 new geochemical analyses on historic U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) samples, including 90 rock, 9 stream sediment, 14 soil, and 96 heavy mineral concentrate (pan concentrate) samples.

This report and digital data release presents 26 new geochemical analyses on historic U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) samples, including 4 rock, 9 stream sediment, 3 soil, and 10 heavy mineral concentrate (pan concentrate) samples. These samples were originally collected by the USBM to investigate rare-earth-element occurrences associated with the Kook Lake intrusive complex, Sitka Quadrangle, Alaska.

This dataset is a collection of geochemical data on samples from the Stibnite-Yellow Pine district of Idaho. The datasets include: whole rock geochemistry; lead, strontium and neodymium isotope chemistry of sulfides and whole rock samples by isotope dilution-thermal-mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS); in situ sulfur isotope chemistry of sulfides by laser ablation-multi collector-inductively coupled-mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-MS); electron microprobe (EMP) images, cathodoluminescence (CL) images and spectra, along with EMP and laser ablation-inductively coupled-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) trace element analysis of sulfides and quartz; and fluid inclusion microthermometry and raman. Samples were collected from the surface and from a series of drill holes transecting the Yellow Pine, Hangar Flats, and West End deposits within the district. Sample were submitted for USGS contract laboratory analysis and processed for ID-TIMS isotopic analysis. High-contrast backscattered electron (BSE) scanning electron microscope SEM imaging were collected to determine zonation, followed by of EMP analysis, followed by a selection of LA-ICP-MS and LA-MC-ICP-MS analysis. After determining mineral and fluid inclusion paragenesis by studying optical petrography and SEM imagery, fluid inclusion microthermometric data and raman spectra were collected.

These data are sulfur isotope determinations (34S/32S ratios) for sulfur-bearing minerals collected from epithermal veins in the Lowland mining district, Montana, USA and from metasedimentary rocks that host the Black Angel zinc-lead-silver deposit, Greenland. The samples were collected by cooperators as parts of larger ore genesis studies. The determinations were performed between February 2019 and March 2021 on 35 samples of pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and chalcopyrite from Lowland vein occurrences and 5 samples of anhydrite from Black Angel host rocks.
