Thresholds of Geochemical Factors for Copper-Gold Mineral Prediction in Jiguanzui, China

Jiguanzui copper-gold mining area in China provides the geochemical data for this study. The dataset contains thresholds for single element and element combination anomalies, likely in an Excel file, designed to validate a new FACA model for deep mineral prediction. Author Feilong Qin published the 5.5 KB file under a CC-BY-4.0 license, last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Testing geochemical anomaly extraction models based on the Concentration-Area (C-A) method described.
• Validating factor analysis (FA) combinations for multi-element mineral resource prediction.
• Predicting blind ore bodies at depth using the integrated FACA algorithm mentioned in the results.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed (CC-BY-4.0) for reuse and modification.
• Model validation is described against actual ore body distributions in the Jiguanzui area.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope or summary data.
