Historical drill core from the Mount Leyshon and Kidston intrusion-related gold deposits (IRGS) underwent continuous core scanning using hyperspectral (HyLogger) and X-ray core scanning instruments (Minalyzer). This data was collected as part of the deposit characterisation component of the GSQ Reference Collection project north east Queensland (NE Qld). Non-destructive mineralogical and geochemical data, along with high resolution core photography, was collected over 16 drill holes and provides spatial coverage across the historically mined deposits. This dataset will allow for direct comparison to other IRGS deposits and prospects in the region and also underpin collection of well located and characterised samples for future geochemical and geochronological research.
