Qualitative Mineral Potential Map of Tungsten Skarn in the Yukon-Tanana Uplands, Eastern Alaska, USA, 2021

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: September 14, 2025 | Last Modified: 20250601
The data release includes GIS data that map potential for tungsten skarn mineralization in permissive tracts in the Yukon-Tanana Uplands, Eastern Alaska, along with tables listing keywords and procedures used to produce the permissive tracts and score them for mineral potential.The GIS data are encapsulated in a file geodatabase called "AK_Wskarn_tract.gdb" and are also available in the shapefile and KMZ formats. The geodatabase contains three datasets. The polygon feature class "primary_attributes" contains the scored tungsten skarn permissive tract subdivided by National Hydrography Dataset HUC12 drainages. A related table, "qualitative_assessment" contains detailed scoring information for each feature. The point feature class "mineral_sites_ranked" contains W (tungsten) bearing mineral sites pulled from the Alaska Resource Data File with additional fields added for this study. The GIS data folder also includes the Python script used to score potential.
