Annual summaries of mineral extraction and exploration activities in Idaho and factors impacting these activities. Published and unpublished content. In 1975 Idaho Geological Survey, then named Idaho Bureau of Mines and Geology, began compiling annual summaries for use by U.S. Bureau of Mines and U.S. Geological Survey annual reports after dissolution of the office of the Idaho State Inspector of Mines in 1974. These state data resources are generally more rich in content and context than federal summaries. As part of an ongoing project funded in part by U.S. Geological Survey and Idaho Department of Lands, data from these documents are being geo-related within the Idaho Geological Survey's Database of Mines and...
Powder or chips from analyzed rock samples.

These catalogs serve to identify known locations of mineral extraction and exploration activities discussed for the purpose of eventually discovering these data through the Mines web map application. These tables of information will reduce data entry time through use of queries to generate records. They also help identify properties without a clear location for efficient discussion with the original authors.
New version for 2023. This collection consolidates the IGS Oil and Gas database, documents, logs, and LAS files, superseding collections “Collection of Well logs from Idaho” and “Idaho oil and gas well data.” These files include information on current and historical oil and gas exploration wells in Idaho provided by companies to the Oil and Gas Commission from 1903-2022. This data was transferred to the Idaho Geological Survey in 2009 from the Idaho Department of Lands, who regulates and maintains data for recent/current oil and gas exploration in Idaho. The Idaho Geological Survey maintains files on two hundred fourteen oil and gas wells in the state. Some files contain drilling service reports, geophysical logs,...
Oil and gas digitized paper logs, and other analyses in geodatabase. Log ASCII Standard (LAS) files of select scanned well logs from Idaho Geological Survey's publication "DD-3: Historical Oil and Gas Data for Idaho" database of exploration wells across the state. Logs curves converted to LAS files may include: Gamma, Caliper (cal), Resistivity, Spontaneous Potential (SP), Bulk Density, Neutron Porosity, and density porosity. Locations of boreholes, attributes, and PDFs of more than 700 Geophysical logs and other data can be downloaded or viewed at no cost via the Idaho Geological Survey's interactive Oil and Gas webmap.
U.S. Bureau of Mines publications and unpublished manuscripts concerning Idaho.

Rare Earth-Thorium-Hematite and Copper Mineralization in Proterozoic Rocks at Lemhi Pass, Idaho-Montana, 2021, Virginia S. Gillerman, Michael J. Jercinovic, Mark D. Schmitz, and Paul Layer The Lemhi Pass district is located along the Continental Divide in the Beaverhead Mountains of Idaho and Montana. Small copper and copper-gold mines were worked in the early 1900s. In the late 1940s, a large number of thorium veins were located and explored in the district. Thorium rare-earth element (Th-REE) mineralization is present as quartz veins and biotite-rich replacements with abundant specular hematite, thorite, and monazite. Host rocks are Mesoproterozoic quartzite and siltite, which have been correlated primarily...
The Idaho Geological Survey Digital Analytical Data (DAD) publications series consists of tables of sample locations, test results such as whole-rock XRF, and other attribute information including labs, dates, and names of collectors. The DAD series are delivered as XLSX (Windows Excel files) spreadsheets and include metadata. These data will eventually be processed into the Idaho Geological Survey's Geochem database.

Annual reports to the Idaho governor on mining extraction and exploration efforts in Idaho, 1899-1974. Generated by the now-defunct Idaho State Inspector of Mines. These out-of-print publications may be difficult to acquire, and contained richer information concerning locations and nature of mineral deposit discoveries and extraction activity than the derived U.S. Bureau of Mines or U.S. Geological Survey annual reports Many reports are indicative of the cultural and political environment at the time they were published, and reflect the impact of historical events on industry such as wars and legislation. These publications are valuable to a wide range of researchers including geologists, historians, educators,...
Critical minerals are non-fuel minerals essential to the economic or national security of the United States and which have a supply chain that is vulnerable to disruption. In close collaboration with the mining industry, state and federal governmental agencies are conducting research on critical mineral deposits to help improve the nation’s supply of domestically sourced critical minerals. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the United States was 100 percent import reliant on 12 of the 50 listed critical minerals, and greater than 50 percent import reliant for an additional 31 critical minerals in 2022. These critical minerals are used in the manufacturing of products that are essential to the defense, energy,...
