Geospatial analysis delineates lode gold prospectivity in Alaska

Abstract

Data-driven geospatial analyses of geological data delineate lode gold potential for Alaska. Analyses indicate new potential lode source areas in gold placer districts and identify new areas in Alaska prospective for lode gold deposits.Adaptable geospatial analytical techniques can focus future investigations, data collection, and exploration strategies for gold and associated byproduct critical minerals, such as As, W, Sb, and Te.
