Hudak, George J2023-05-252023-05-252022-06https://hdl.handle.net/11299/254375The Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) was provided funding from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) via the FY 2021 National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program for the “FY21 Minnesota Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program.” The program included two priorities that collectively involved 11 separate Projects: Priority 1: Data Preservation • Project 1: Preservation of MGS Field Data • Project 2: Preservation of MGS Cuttings • Project 3: Minnesota Drill Core Library Inventory, Phase I • Project 4: Data Preservation Workshop Priority 2: Mineral Potential-Related Information • Project 5: State Compilation of Mineral Deposits / Districts • Project 6: Contribute Data to USGS Map Compilation of Focus Areas • Projects 7 and 8: State Compilation of Borehole Data with Metadata to NDC • Project 9: Update Geologic Map Database • Project 10: USGS Critical Minerals Workshop • Project 11: Strategic Plan for Critical Minerals As a Component of Priority 2, Project 6, “Contribute Data to USGS Map Compilation of 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 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), and “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). Matching funding was provided from the NRRI University of Minnesota Permanent University Trust Fund to complete this work. 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 a number of 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 Minnesota resources.enNatural Resources Research InstituteUniversity of Minnesota DuluthTechnical Report
