Summary
Collection of cores from 2069 holes in critical mineral focus areas in Wisconsin. This is a subset of the collection, Rock cores from Wisconsin, cores drilled from sites across the state. Metadata follows the UGSS borehole template, with an added field for focus area. Each point shows a drillhole in one of approximately 20 critical minerals focus areas in Wisconsin. Core has been indexed by location and may not show evidence of critical minerals. Three focus areas are quite large and are represented by a large number of drillholes: Pembine-Wasusau terrane VMS, Archaean gneiss terranes, and Midcontinent Rift conduit-type magmatic sulfide Ni-Cu-PGE, but the usefulness of this core in identifying critical minerals has not been evaluated.
