Contents

The Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI) is a collaborative federal geoscience program that provides industry with the next generation of geoscience knowledge and innovative techniques to better detect buried mineral deposits, thereby reducing some of the risks of exploration.
The Central Mineral Belt Uranium Geochemistry Database (CMBUG) represents the compilation of several Newfoundland and Labrador Geological Survey Data Files and drill core geochemistry extracted from Mineral Assessment reports submitted to the Newfoundland and Labrador Mineral Assessment Database for the period 2002 to 2011 for the Central Mineral Belt located in this province. The primary purpose of this compilation is to produce a dataset from which further academic, government, and industrial research related to various styles of uranium occurrences may proceed.  The CMD is an Excel file accompanying this summary (Appendix 1). During compilation, the metadata associated with the data has been standardized to assist with sorting, summarizing, and querying the dataset, described in detail in the following sections four sections: 2) Original Data Sources; 3) Geographic Distribution; 4) Sample Descriptions; 5) Analytical Laboratories; and 6) Analytical Results.
