| Deposit size |
Six broad range categories have been defined to estimate the total in situ size of the deposit (in tonnes for hard-rock deposits, or in m3 for placer and alluvial deposits) |
|
Y |
| Host rock ages |
Broad time/stratigraphic units or Provinces hosting the deposit. Two or more host rocks may be defined to cater for discordant deposits that traverse these time/stratigraphic boundaries |
|
Y |
| Mineralisation age |
Code for the age of the mineralisation. The age of the primary mineralisation is given if the ore has been later remobilised. The age is usually inferred |
|
Y |
| Use |

| Exploration |
The type of exploration which has been undertaken on this deposit. Up to five methods may be entered. Prospecting signifies pits, trenches or shafts. Geological mapping refers to detailed surface and/or underground mapping. Geochemical surveys refer to detailed soil sampling as well as systematic chip sampling of mineralisation and host rocks. Geophysical surveys refers to ground-based techniques related to the deposits. Drilling refers to any drill hole intersecting the deposit. |
