Deposit data

The USGS publish a lot of free data on mineral deposits through their open file reports. These reports often include the source data and spreadsheets.

Deposit specific links

  • Porphyry deposits - link and an older version link 
  • Sediment hosted Cu deposits - link
  • Sediment hosted Zinc deposits - link
  • Sediment hosted Au deposits - link
  • VMS - link

Please note that these reports aren't produced every year, so the data will be a bit out of date (up to 10 years depending on the deposit type).
