Parks, H.L., Howard, C.K., and Zientek, M.L., 2023, Stillwater Complex, Montana—logs of core drilled by Stillwater Mining Company and Anaconda Copper Corp. in the Stillwater Mine area, 1983 to 1989: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9EDKTPD.

Summary

This dataset includes TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) images of graphic drill core logs showing associated drill core information, a TIFF image of the explanation for the lithology and structure sections of the logs, an Esri shapefile of the locations of the drill holes, and 12 .csv files of tabular data that were compiled from handwritten drill core logs. The drill core is from the Stillwater Mine area of the Stillwater Complex, Montana and was drilled from 1983 to 1989 by the Stillwater Mining Company and Anaconda Copper Corp. The data shown in the graphic drill logs and contained within the .csv files includes lithologic, structure, percent recovery, grain size, sulfide, nickel, copper, platinum, and palladium mineralization information.

Purpose

This dataset provides historical context of minerals exploration in the Stillwater Mine area of the Stillwater Complex by providing the locations where drill core has been drilled and lithologic, structure, percent recovery, grain size, sulfide, nickel, copper, platinum, and palladium mineralization information which may be used for analysis of geochemical data such as the spatial variation of copper and nickel concentration in the Stillwater area, Montana.
