Abstract
The Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) was provided funding from the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) via the FY 2022 National Geological and Geophysical Data
Preservation Program for the “FY22 Minnesota Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation
Program.” The program included two priorities that collectively involved 10 separate projects:
Priority 1: Data Preservation
• Project 1: Preservation of MGS Field Data
• Project 2: Seismic Database and Geophysical Compilation
• Project 3: Preservation of MGS Cuttings, Phase Three
• Project 4: Minnesota Drill Core Library Inventory, Phase Two
• Project 5: Data Preservation Workshop
Priority 2: Mineral Potential-Related Information
• Project 6: State Compilation of Mineral Deposits / Districts
• Project 7: Mapping for USGS Compilation of Earth MRI Focus Areas
• Projects 8: State Compilation of Borehole Data
• Project 9: Prepare For, and Attend, and Follow-Up Earth MRI Workshop
• Project 10: Preservation Plan for Critical Minerals
As a Component of Priority 2, Project 7, “Mapping for USGS Compilation of Earth MRI Focus
Areas,” the Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI) was subcontracted by the Minnesota
Geological Survey (MGS) to prepare a bibliography indicating published geological,
geochemical, and geophysical research specific to Minnesota that supports inference of Mineral
potential. Matching funding was provided from the NRRI University of Minnesota Permanent
University Trust Fund to complete this work.
The publications that form the basis of this bibliography are included in NRRI Technical
Summary Report “Duluth Complex Geological Bibliography” (Hauck, 2017), “A Bibliography of
Published Research in Minnesota Related to the State’s Mineral Potential” (Hudak, 2020),
“Minnesota Data Preservation Report for 2019/2020: Updated Data Inventory, Preservation of
Pillsbury Hall Rock Collections and Documentation, Assembly of Mineral Potential Related
Information” (Thorleifson, 2020), and “A Bibliography of Published Research in Minnesota
Related to the State’s Mineral Potential: June 2022” (Hudak, 2022).
The following bibliography has been organized utilizing the USGS Mineral Systems approach
for critical minerals inventory, research and assessment (Hofstra, 2019; Hofstra and Kreiner,
2020). As Minnesota has a preserved geologic history that spans greater than 3.6 billion years,
a wide variety of geological processes encompassing several mineral systems have been active
within the State. These include Chemical Weathering, Placer, Meteoric Recharge, Marine
Chemocline, Volcanogenic Seafloor, Orogenic, Metamorphic, IOA-IOCG, and Mafic Magmatic.
This bibliography includes references specific to each of these mineral systems, as well as a list
of references related to potential by-products, recycling, and carbon mineralization publications
focused on—and/or referencing—Minnesota resources.
