DGGS Digital Data Series 18, Alaska Minerals Database, is a working, internal database that supports multiple data products developed by the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS), including the Alaska Mineral Industry Report series (https://dggs.alaska.gov/pubs/minerals) and a web service of significant mineral industry occurrences and industry activity in 2020. DGGS anticipates developing additional products from the database in the future. This abstract and data dictionary will be updated as more of the database becomes publicly available over time. The full, unpublished database contains information about significant mineral occurrences in Alaska, including industry activity by year, mineral resource estimates, mine production statistics by year, and an interpreted mineral system type using the classification scheme of Hofstra and Kreiner (2020). The database also associates records in Alaska Resource Data File (ARDF; U.S. Geological Survey, 1996) with significant mineral occurrences, as interpreted by DGGS. DGGS annually compiles mineral industry information from past-year statements issued by companies, including press releases and corporate annual and financial reports, as well as phone interviews, replies to questionnaires, and news media articles. Only publicly available data compiled by DGGS are visible; confidential data are incorporated into statewide figures. The database is actively updated as new mineral activity data become available each year. Property information and previous years' data will be updated to resolve errors, reflect new geologic interpretations, and display newly available data. Consequently, products developed from the database may change over time as information and figures are updated. DGGS encourages members of the public to contact DGGS' Mineral Resources Section staff to discuss potential changes to the data or errors to be resolved in our derivative products. The data are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/30873. This data supports multiple data products developed by Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS), including the Alaska Mineral Industry Report series (https://dggs.alaska.gov/pubs/minerals). The Alaska Mineral Industry Reports provide summaries of mineral activity in an annual report in accordance with Alaska Statue 27.05.050-060.

Not applicable This lineage was generated by the FGDC CSDGM to 19139 transformation Data compilation - DGGS annually compiles mineral industry information from past-year statements issued by companies, including press releases and corporate annual and financial reports, as well as phone interviews, replies to questionnaires, and news media articles. Data are merged with USGS ARDF records, assembled into a relational database, pertinent records are flagged for confidentiality, and the mineral system type is interpreted using the classification scheme of Hofstra and Kreiner (2020). DGGS symbolizes the non-confidential, publically available records to display in a statewide interactive map, which is accessible through the DGGS ArcGIS portal. This work is ongoing and expected to continue throughout the source data's useful lifespan. 2020-01-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: data compilationSource Type: report Systems-deposits-commodities-critical minerals table for the earth mapping resources initiative 2020-01-01 publication U.S. Geological Survey United States publisher Hofstra, A.H. originator Kreiner, D.C. originator https://dggs.alaska.gov/pubs/id/30874 Open-File Report OF 2022-1042 24 p 2020-01-01 Source Contribution: data compilationSource Type: report Alaska Resource Data File (ARDF) 2018-01-01 publication U.S. Geological Survey Unknown publisher U.S. Geological Survey originator http://ardf.wr.usgs.gov 2018-01-01 otherRestrictions Metadata Use Constraints: If the user has modified the data in any way they are obligated to describe the types of modifications they have performed in the supporting metadata file.
