Abstract
A dataset of global zinc-bearing mineral deposits has been developed that complements previous such datasets (Franklin et al., 2005; Meinert et al., 2005; Mosier et al., 2009a,b; Taylor et al. 2009). The new dataset provides information on name, location, type, metal endowment, host rocks, associated igneous rocks, regional and proximal alteration assemblages (including, where possible, spatial and temporal zonation), Fe-S-O mineralogy, the presence of sulfate minerals, and sulfur and lead isotope data. In particular, unlike previous datasets, the age information provides the uncertainties of age determinations along with information on the assumptions and analytical methods used to determine the age. The dataset is meant to be used in conjunction with previous datasets and will be updated. Analysis of trends and relationships within the datasets are ongoing and will be published separately.
