Soil gas for mineral exploration: field locations

The data consists in worldwide locations where soil gas have been tested as pathfinders for mineral exploration. The data was collated from case studies published in English in scientific articles, theses, books, reports and analytical laboratory websites. Each location has information on the commodity associated with the known deposit investigated, as well as the soil gas investigated. The associated file is a .kmz format to be opened with Google Earth (either online or desktop version). It includes the Köppen climate map overlaid by the sampling locations.
