A geologist's firsthand account details mining practices and geological concepts in the Whitehorse Copper Belt during its peak production decade. The report compiles earlier data and recent work from 1967 to 1980, solicited by D.I.A.N.D. from Whitehorse Copper Mines. It was created as a record for future development when mining in the district was anticipated to cease.
Use Cases
- Compare mining districts based on compiled geological concepts and constraints
- Study historical mining practices based on the review of mining practice data
- Analyze development problems in mining based on the report's focus on development issues
- Research geological evolution of copper belts based on the review of earlier geological data
Strengths
- Report authored by a geologist actively involved in the district during the 1970s
- Compiles data from a defined period (1967-1980) when mining was at its peak
- Written as a formal record solicited by D.I.A.N.D. from Whitehorse Copper Mines
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to the 1967-1980 period
