Abstract
Herein the results of a global compilation of rare earth element (REE) deposits (available in Excel format) are presented. The deposits were selected as they have substantial endowment (i.e., pre-mining mineral resource) and/or detailed geological information is available. For each deposit (or, in some cases, district) the dataset includes information on: 1. Name (including synonyms) and location; 2. Tectonic province that hosts the deposit; 3. Type(s) and age(s) of mineralising events that produced/affected the deposit (including metadata on ages); 4. The metal/mineral endowment of the deposit; 5. Host rocks to the deposit; 6. Spatially and/or temporally associated magmatic rocks; 7. Spatially and temporally associated alteration assemblages (mostly proximal, but, in some cases, regional assemblages); 8. Rare earth element mineralogy; 9. The Fe-S-O minerals present in the deposit and relative abundances where known; 10. Sulfate minerals present; 11. Peak metamorphic grade; 12. Data sources; and 13. Comments. This document presents more detailed descriptions of the metadata presented in the compilation. The dataset is presented in Appendix A.
