Summary
Mineral abundances within bulk and size-fractionated mine waste from sampled historical waste piles from the Tar Creek Superfund Site, Oklahoma, U.S.A., were determined by Mineral Liberation Analysis (MLA) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Data and methods reported are part of a research study published here: White, S.J.O., Piatak, N.M., McAleer, R.J., Hayes. S.M., Seal, R.R. II, Schaider, L.A., Shine, J.P.

Data were obtained to determine the mineral abundances contained within bulk and size-fractionated mine wastes from the Tar Creek Superfund Site in Oklahoma, U.S.A., an historical zinc and lead mining area. Ultimately these data are a part of a greater characterization of the environmental behavior of germanium (Ge) and potential for recovery from mine wastes.
