Abstract Digital mineral databases are necessary to carry out weights-of-evidence modeling of mineral resources for epithermal gold and carbonate-hosted lead-zinc deposits in northeast Washington. This report describes spreadsheet tables consisting of: 1) training sites for epithermal gold, 2) placer gold sites, 3) training sites for carbonate-hosted lead-zinc, and 4) small lead-zinc mines and prospects. A fifth table provides location data about sites in the four tables.
Introduction Digital mineral databases were necessary to perform spatial modeling of mineral resources and to investigate mineral potential in Northeastern. The spatial modeling was performed using weights-ofevidence analysis on a geographic information system and requires all digital data. Four mineral database themes necessary for the spatial modeling are described in this report, placer gold sites, a training set for epithermal gold deposits, a training set for carbonate-hosted lead-zinc deposits, and small lead-zinc mines and prospects. Tables 1 and 2 were used in weights-of-evidence modeling of epithermal gold deposits of northeast Washington (unpublished data). Tables 3 and 4 were similarly used for modeling of carbonatehosted lead-zinc deposits of northeastern Washington (unpublished data). A fifth table provides additional township and range location data about sites in the four tables. The data in these tables occur within a 138-mile by 72-mile area in northeast Washington bounded by Idaho on the east and Canada on the north. It includes all of Pend Oreille County and large portions of Douglas, Ferry, Okanogan, and Stevens counties. (Figure 1)
Description of data The data in each of the tables described below were obtained primarily from the USGS Mineral Resource Data System (MRDS, 1998) database and supplemented using the USBM Minerals Availability System (MAS-MILS, 1995) database by applying specific selection criteria. The USGS MRDS and USBM MAS-MILS databases contain economic geology data for over 220,000 mines, prospects or mineral occurrences worldwide. The MRDS number begins with the letters "SP", "D", "W", "K" or "M" followed by a 5- or 6-digit number and the MAS-MILS sequence number contains 10 digits. MAS-MILS record data were included because they complement the MRDS. Multiple MRDS records describing the same property were identified for at least 33 properties The duplicated MRDS records were retained for later reference.

Training sites for epithermal gold model.
The training sites consist of a collection of mines, prospects or occurrences selected from MRDS or MAS-MILS database because of their epithermal gold-like characteristics. Sites were qualified for the epithermal gold model if they met the selection criteria below for any of the USGS models for AuAg hot spring, 25a (Berger, 1992), Creede epithermal veins, 25b (Mosier and others, 1992), or Comstock epithermal veins, 25c (Mosier, Singer and Berger, 1992). See Table 1. Fifty sites were selected where
sites are spatially associated with Eocene volcanic or hypabyssal rocks and
gold occurs in quartz veins or disseminations. Additional characteristics provided from records for each site facilitated classifying the deposit with models, 25a, 25b, or 25c.
In addition to location data, the mining district, commodities present, production size and development status are also provided. Placer gold sites.
Placer sites indicate locations of mines or prospects of placer gold mining or prospecting. (Table 2) Sixty-seven sites were selected from the MRDS and MAS-MILS where:
gold is the primary commodity and
"placer" was indicated by the name, deposit type, or modifier of commodity.
Thirty-six of the sites were obtained from the USGS MRDS database and the remaining 31 sites were obtained from the MAS-MILS database. Production data were not available for any sites.
Training sites for carbonate-hosted lead-zinc model The second group of training sites were selected because they exhibit characteristics similar to the USGS model for carbonate-hosted lead-zinc (Briskey, 1992). Eleven mines were selected where (Table 3):
lead and zinc are the primary commodities,
the deposit is either stratiform or pipe-like in form or exhibit breccia or replacement texture,
the deposit occurs within strata of either the Maitlen Phyllite of Cambrian age, the Metaline Formation of Cambrian age or the Ledbetter Slate of Ordovician age, and
the mine has produced more than 100,000 tons of ore.
Small lead-zinc mines and prospects
Smaller deposits described as carbonate-hosted lead-zinc deposits are those where no ore was produced or those having total production up to 100,000 tons. These smaller deposits were selected using the selection criteria used (above) for training sites of carbonate-hosted lead-zinc deposits. Sixtytwo deposits are represented in the group. See Table 4.
Table 5 provides locations for sites in tables 1-4 given by township, range and section by latitude and longitude. The latitude and longitude were calculated from the TRS. The latitude and
longitude were calculated for a central point in a section. For sites occupying two or more sections, this was done by arbitrarily selecting an "assumed section" that occupied that occurred at the center. The calculation method then uses the freeware script, 'TRS2LL' (Martin Wefald, written commun.). The resulting latitude and longitude refer to a point in the center of the assumed section.

Table 1. Training sites for epithermal gold model File name: of99-384.xls; sheet name: Trainsites_epith
The training sites consist of a collection of sites (either mines, prospects or occurrences) selected from MRDS or MAS/MILS database because of their epithermal gold-like characteristics. Sites were qualified for the epithermal gold model if they met the selection criteria below for any of the USGS models for Au-Ag hot spring, 25a (Berger, 1992), Creede epithermal veins, 25b (Mosier et al., 1992), or Comstock epithermal veins, 25c (Mosier, Singer and Berger, 1992). Minimum selection criteria are a) Sites are spatially associated with Eocene volcanic or hypabyssal rocks and b) Sites contain gold in quartz veins or disseminations.
Table 2. Placer gold sites File name: of99-384.xls; sheet name: Placer_gold_sites
Placer gold sites -- Indicates locations of mines or prospects of placer gold exploration or development. Selection criteria for the 67 sites obtained from MRDS and MAS/MILS were a)"gold" is the primary commodity and
b) "placer" was indicated by the name, deposit type, or modifier of commodity. See definition of attributes from Table 1.
Table 3. Training sites for carbonate-hosted lead-zinc model File name: of99-384.xls; sheetname: Trainsites_PbZn
The training sites consist of sites (mines, prospects or occurrences) selected from MRDS or MAS/MILS, because they exhibit characteristics of explored or developed carbonate-hosted lead-zinc deposits. Sites were qualified as carbonate-hosted lead-zinc deposits if they met the selection criteria below for the USGS model for carbonate-hosted lead-zinc deposits (Briskey, 1992). Minimum criteria by which the 11 mines were selected are a) lead and zinc are the primary commodities; b) the deposit is either strataform, pipe-like, or breccia in form or replacement in nature; c) the deposit occurs within strata of either the Maitlen Phyllite of Cambrian age, the Metaline Formation of Cambro-Ordovician age, or the Ledbetter Slate of Ordovician age; and d) the mine has produced more than 100,000 tons of ore.
Table 4. Small lead-zinc mines and prospects File name: of99-384.xls; sheet name: Small_PbZn_Mines
Smaller deposits described as carbonate-hosted lead-zinc deposits are those where no ore was produced or had total production up to 100,000 tons. These smaller deposits were selected using the selection criteria used for training sites of carbonate-hosted lead-zinc deposits (Briskey, 1992) with the exception that the deposits from this group were selected because they had no commercial production or produced 100,000 tons or less of ore.
Table 5. Township and range location for sites File name: of99-384.xls; sheet name: Township_location The township-range-section and latitude-longitude locations in this table are taken from the databases. For those not available, the Wefald script was used to calculate from available data. Some sites were checked against those listed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources (Derkey, R.E., Joseph, N.L., and Lasmanis, R., 1990)
