Portable Analyses of Strategic Metal-Rich Minerals Using pXRF and pLIBS

This database contains portable XRF and LIBS data acquired on minerals potentially rich in strategic metals including native elements, sulfides, sulfosalts and arsenides. Analyzed samples come from 13 different countries and different ore deposits with a focus on Western Thrace region (NE Greece) where deposits (porphyry-epithermal) can be abnormally rich in strategic metals. Data acquisition is described in "Portable Analyses of Strategic Metal-Rich Minerals Using pXRF and pLIBS: Methodology and Database Development" (https://doi.org/10.3390/data10020012).
