as you prepare to enter the Gold Rush Challenge!

neighboring Lamaque South Gold Project, situated right next
door to Sigma-Lamaque (ie the place where the Gold Rush
Challenge data will come from). The geology, ore deposit
types and mineralization styles/controls of the two areas,
separated by only 1-2 kilometers, is identical. Have a look!

Hi Woody, currently we are working on producing a

online to address the many questions we are receiving
about the data. Work is currently being done in
constructing the database, digitizing 3D models from
historic 2D plans, georeferencing, validating, etc. The
data will be a mixture of types, as is typical of mining
data-bases. Currently there are raster images, vector files
(2d and 3d DXF format), CSV files, spreadsheets in
excel or text, etc. Please follow the updates to this page
and watch for the "FAQ" to be published. We are also
exploring the idea of a sample dataset, stay tuned for
