Mineral Veins Of The Southern Pennine Orefield

3200 mineral veins (i.e. lead, fluorspar) of the Southern Pennine Orefield within the Peak District National Park captured as a single dataset in 1983 from BGS 1:10 560 published maps with additional veins from referenced literature. The data covers a small, very limited area. Also includes several pipe and flat deposits. Also includes mapped faults. The dataset is approximately 99.5% complete. Uses for the data include economic geology, mineral resources, mine hazards. Veins are numbered but not named.

Statement

The South Pennine Orefield mineral vein dataset was digitised from 46 1:10560 and 1:10000 BGS geological maps. It was part of the multidisciplinary study that was eventually published as a book entitled ‘Metallogenic models and exploration criteria for buried carbonate-hosted ore deposits - a multidisciplinary study in eastern England’ (Plant, J A and Jones, D G (editors) (Keyworth, Nottingham: British Geological Survey; London: Institution of Mining and Metallurgy). The data consists of numerous pairs of Eastings and Northings which were 'stream digitised' from the maps over a 3 month period and included digitised veins, 'pipes' and faults. These were hand-joined veins across map sheet boundaries by editing each end XY pair to match across the boundary. The data set was added to by some additional veins from published sketch maps in the Peak District Historical Society Bulletins but the majority were from BGS maps. The data was stored on a VAX archive tape and eventually translated into Word and then Excel and finally an ESRI shapefile version was created. No further work has been done on this dataset since its collection and translation and it contains no attribute information beyond the distinction between faults, pipes and veins.
